Scary Brakey moment

I was riding along yesterday minding my own as per usual when I took a drink.
Nothing strange in that you might think, but as I put the bottle back into the seat tube cage I caught the spouty top in the rear brake cable...instant braking with one hand on the bars......
I didn't come off luckliy but I guess you could call it one of those 'WTF' moments.
Just thought I'd share my 'new experience'...anyone else done this or is it just me that's a numpty?

Closest i had to that was when i went to grab the hood after putting a bottle back and missed it but knocked the handlebars and wobbled wildly. As you could probably guess i sh@ myself :oops:
