i did that in high school and cooked my friends car's alternator (it didn't die right away). I didn't realize it until much later and felt really bad about it. i think i even offered to pay for it.

i always hate jumping people/getting jumped. i try to use one of those handheld jumper batteries whenever i can instead.
