I notice people getting startled when excountering that rarest of beasts in the land of the free -- a car with manual gearbox. Even while driving super slow they hear the engine rev up and, based on their pathetic experience with automatics, assume the car is speeding up. They don't know that the driver is engine braking to slow down. It happens to me all the time. In fact, when I have passengers who don't drive stick, they really get startled when I downshift to slow down. Some start grasping for a handle, squirming in the seat and making stern comments...
