The only time I ever had a problem jumping my car (postive to postive, negative to ground is a mantra for me) was when some "helpful" man connected the battery cables for me.
Nice guy, dumb as a post. As I was yelling, "You're doing it wrong" he cross-wired the cables, and blew a fusible link (only, thank goodness) in my car.
Dumbass.
