Car revving without applying gas?...

Car was definitely warmed up, it happened 20 minutes through my drive. I'm going to just assume it was a SRM glitch as it's never happened before and it didn't happen again. Unfortunately, you guys have scarred me for life and I won't be able to get into my car without thinking someone or something is in my back hatch waiting to strike when I least suspect it.

The only time I've seen this happen when warmed up at a stop like this was when there was a problem with the accelerator pedal unit. If the pedal sticks just a hair then it will be sending a higher pedal up voltage than it was originally calibrated for. Re-calibration might fix it short term, but worst case the pedal needs to be replaced. Either way I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it starts reoccurring regularly.
