Nothing stupid but only because I was saved by 42 years of good driving habits.
When I go into my garage I usually hit the garage door opener next to the side entrance door, get in my Z, back out and then use the Homelink to close the door. Well, I was leaving home on a weekend at about 6:00 AM for a long drive out of town, no coffee yet and still dark out. I opened the garage door, got in my Z and decided to load up the CD player while the car was warming up. I reached up and hit the Homelink button, started the car and loaded a couple of CD's. Then I put the car in reverse and started to roll backwards. You guessed it, I had closed the door. Luckily my habit of glancing up in the rearview mirror when backing out and my still reasonably fast reflexes I stopped instantly and didn't run into the door. That sure would have sucked and been a total idiot moment.
