Revs up

New to me 08-F-450
Started it this morning and let it warm up a few minutes.
Got in it to move it . stepped on brake and put it in reverse.
It revved right up past 3000 on the tach, I stuck it back in park and kicked the pedal and it idled down?
This all happened in the space of a few seconds?

Guess what funny guy ....................it happened again today.
And guess what it was , I was wearing my winterboots and the brake pedal goes down lower than the gas pedal and my boot caught it.

Right in a 7-11 with people walking everywhere and wondering what the hell I was doing

Haha I had a feeling; cause I did that once with a big bulky pair of work boots in the winter.
