A question: for you guys with a lot of manual experience, do even you sometimes get in an uncomfortable position once in a while?

By this I mean stall at a light, get caught on a big hill start with someone right up to your bumper, or just a general unsmooth shift.
I've been driving a manual for 29 years. Learned on a 1974 911 (there is a tough clutch). With the exception of about two years I have always driven a manual transmition.

With that said, about two weeks ago I was in a parking lot with my wife. Stopped at a stop sign....Stalled! She laughed at me (even though she can't drive a stick), I started the car and went about my day. I am willing to bet it happens to everybody (except maybe Mr. Danger)
