Putting the parking brake on hard with the drums hot and expanded from recent hard braking will warp them as the drums cool and contract, with the brake shoes wedged out against two sides. The drums ovalize.

A car that's been left sitting outdoors undriven for a while will develop a rough patch of rust under the pads on the disks. That makes noise when you drive off, and makes the braking a bit rough till the disks get evenly polished again.
