Still haven't learnt, I just drive my auto

Actually I have never driven automatic or even semi-automatic. I wonder how it is.
It's annoying as hell. Sometimes I drive my mom's automatic Caravan and it drives me nuts. I'm always screaming "UPSHIFT DAMMIT!" "no, not third, first" "kick down" "NOT INTO SECOND YOU HERPDERP" "Okay third gear now..." "I'd like Reverse, please" "First gear would be great from a dead stop. Just a protip" "Hey stupid, when you're in L, that means first or second. Not fourth. I want some engine braking on this hill!"
It's not a sort of "look at me, I shifted" thing, its more just something that is expected. That may be the case in America where everyone drives autos and driving a manual may be considered a bit of an oddity, but here its sort of expected that everyone should at least be able to drive a manual. Especially men Less "wow, you can drive a manual", more "wow, you can't drive a manual"But shifting has never been the definition of my manhood. I got over the "look at me, I shifted" phase almost 30 years ago.

For instance, my brother learnt on an auto car and has only ever owned autos, but he can still drive a manual.
You don't have to hand in your mancard, as you can drive a manual car. Hell, I'm considering getting a second hand Jaguar XJ as my next car and obviously that will be an auto. One should be able to drive a manual, that doesn't mean they always must.Basically, even though you may not have intended it, the fact that I really like my 740iL would mean you think I should turn in my man card. And I respectfully disagree. it's on par with saying that driving an MX5 makes one gay or something.
