Failed road test... 18 speed wtf?

I watched a YouTube video before my first time with a 13 speed. I didn't have a clue how to shift it. What's this little red button for lol

So what kind of a dream job was this?

 

Ok, let me put it another way: when you were in Afghanistan and you came upon a situation you'd never seen before, weren't necessarily expecting, and had never been specifically trained in how to handle that exact predicament, did you 1) freeze up like a little girl and fail at your mission? Or 2) man up, keep a calm demeanor, and get #### done?

If option #1 wasn't an option over there, what makes you think it'd fly over here? A lot of people CLAIM to be a lot of things when their actions say otherwise. You said you had served in the Marines. Act like it is all I'm saying.

 

Why be like that?
Most everyone who has never been around a 13 or 18 speed will have trouble with it.

Not everyone can be the GodChild like you.

 

And stalling the engine on any road test is an automatic fail. Doesn't matter if it's at the DMV or with a company, you aren't going to pass the test if you can't get the vehicle moving.

 

Tough room. WTF PB? Who pissed in your cheerios?

 

As @Ridgeline alluded to, that "trouble" people have is all in their head. They get overwhelmed by the THOUGHT of having to deal with all of those gears, when it really isn't anything special. If you know how to shift the gears on a truck, you can drive it with minimal adjustment. If you allow yourself to get psyched out, I become skeptical about other claims you have made which contradict the current set of facts.
