This is a real pain in the ass if you drive manual:

Auto cars relax pressure on brake pedal to inch forward;

Manual cars take foot off brake, drop clutch, engage gear, engage clutch, move forward, drop clutch and engage brake again, gear to neutral, foot off clutch.

I'm sure all this inching forward happened a lot less when most cars were manual (Europe).

Fathers and their dogs

When my cat got old, she couldn't jump up onto beds and chairs anymore. So I would try to lift her up onto places she used to like.

Cat said no. If she couldn't get up there by herself, she just didn't want to go there anymore. Fierce independence.
