Honest question. What do countries that don't use the Roman alphabet use for "PRND" ? Or is it standard across the world? (except manuals, cause we roll like that)

Usually just drive stick. This whole auto is the norm thing is fairly localized to the US.

I've seen PRNDL in Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea, and Russia. I'd guess it's universal.

You: "Hello."

Spouse: (sobbing) "I was pulling into the garage and (sobbing) I ran into the back wall"

You: "Calm down, honey. It'll be OK. Are you OK?"

Spouse: (sobbing) "Yes.. But I think I dented the wall."

You: (Wondering how scuffed the paint on the bumper is) We'll take a look at it when I get home, we can probably fix it this weekend.

Spouse: "Are you sure"

You: "Yes, how bad can it be?"

Spouse: "Do you want to send you a picture?"

You: Yes (she sends photo)

You : (sobbing)

More like 50th. I'll be in the cold ground before I recognize Missouri.

My uncle actually did this with his old Silverado once.

Their laundry room did not fare too well.

And Japan, Australia, Korea, etc. It's definitely not just the US.

I'm pretty sure it's universal. Actually, Torch wrote an article a while back about why it's PRNDL and not NDLPR, even though it's technically possible.

My buddy's mom did this when I was in 8th grade. Worse yet, she did while driving, having stopped paying attention to the road while talking to her son. He recounted the story to me while we were driving down the very street with his mom. It was the only time I openly laughed at someone's parents in their presence. How could you not though?
