Has this ever happened to you while parked?

I was sitting in the Wawa parking lot doing my usual checklist before going in the store when the big service van next to me starts backing up, but from the corner of my eye it looks like I'm rolling forward. I immediately slammed on the brake but I quickly noticed it was just the van. I almost had a heart attack but I was LOL'ing after the fact .

It has happened to me a few times. I always feel like a big fucktard afterwards.

I know but I think it has something to do with the size of the vehicle next to you. It's like an illusion.

Forced perspective:
-------------------- Republican Values: 1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you. 2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child. 3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer. 4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Try to say "toy boat" 5 times fast. It's impossible.

I've done worse I was at the drive through talking to my friend about how pissed I was about the fact that my window wouldn't roll down just as I got done talking about it I swung around full force to lean my head out the window smashed it on the window. I did it really hard for some reason though.

I was passed out in an interstate rest stop (post-concert) and that exact same thing happened to me.... Van next to me was leaving, it woke me up and I freaked the fuck out thinking I was rolling away. I could hardly get back to sleep after that.

this happens to me ALLL the time. I never feel like an idiot because no one notices. I kind of accept it as part of my life. stopping my car when it isnt moving.
