Or maybe the driver that was supposed to stay sober forgot, and now his non drinking gf needs to drive home. It's not difficult. You just need to understand how to do it, and then practice it long enough that you can do it when you have to.

That said, I got sick of driving manual a couple years ago. I did it through my 20s, and now I'm perfectly happy with my auto, and I don't care what people think. Of course, I drive a pickup. If I drove a sports car, it'd be manual without question. It's just so much fun to drop a gear, take a corner, and then f*** right off.

So a man skill, like:

• ironing a shirt
• shining your shoes
• simple plumbing
• finding the clit
