Flying a revalidation check ride with an instructor in a PA28, parking the aircraft and then pulling up the flap lever - I must have thought that it was the handbrake in the car! and yes, he did notice!
Not unusual in a Robin - the flaps are not strong enough to support the weight of a person when up, so you would normally put them down when parking the aircraft.

There's your excuse for next time...
