I've done this once in my life...12 years ago when I was a week from turning 16 - lurched in to the toolbox in the garage and crunched in to the wall. Has never happened again. Now with that said, I ALWAYS leave the car parked in 1st, but don't religiously use the e-brake. No matter what though, the moment I sit in the car - clutch & brake pedals in and shifter gets a wiggle in neutral.
I understand it's not what you're used to, but something you're responsible for being aware of. Imagine if there had been a car parked in front of you instead of a curb; there's no chance in hell you'd be able to blame the dealer for that.
