And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

It can be more confusing than you think at first, all the N/D/L stuff, some then also have 1/2/3, which "gear" to you start the car in, what to do when you come to a full stop (nothing, doh), ...

The very first time I sat behind one was to drive a family friend home who drunk a bit too much, with his own car... I was a bit overwhelmed

Don't forget the good old mistake of hitting the brake when searching for the clutch pedal (though that only happend to me once as I drove automatic the first time)
