Default Do you brake with your RH or LH foot? (auto only)

Sometimes when I am following a car, the brake light goes off only sometime after its accelerating again. Also in congested traffic, its on for too long. Its obvious the driver is using their LH foot for braking, and forgets to take it off when under way again.

I would think their brake pads and rotors have a very short life.

I also would think if braking with your LH foot, and you then drive a manual car, you would get very confused in an emergency braking situation.
