Oh man, one time I let my friends gf drive us home from the bar in my car and I asked her beforehand if she could drive stick, she said yes and all was well until she downshifted to merge on to deerfoot. I thought my clutch was going to explode. From 6th to 4th with no blip of the throttle what so ever.

Her body is still missing.
