It happens. I will either turn my stock rotors next time I get tires, or spring for a set of 2-piece with slots and stuff in 'em, cause racecar.
Ummmmm.... that sounds like you felt the ABS engaging. If you did this and then came to a complete stop and held the brake pedal down, then you just deposited a bunch of pad material in one place, making the surface of the rotor uneven (not warped).
