POLL: When you drive an automatic, how do you use your parking brake most often?

You left off the most important answer. Doing doughnuts in the winter

Yes, I forgot the option for the sad sacks that have to do their donuts in a FWD car.

A transmission is not a kickstand...

Interesting results. Remind me never to buy a car from about half of you.

Which half and why?

Because those who don't use their parking brake are shortening the life of their transmission (to some degree)

Use your parking brake to take the weight of your vehicle and then put your car in Park (or gear)

Thanks for the advice.

Park, put it in neutral and then put the parking break on, leave key in ignition
