In fairness, the other poster was keeping it up. It's happened to me with that person, too. He did the same thing with basketball. It's easy to get caught up in that stuff.

To further dissipate stereotypes, I am a millennial and first learned to drive on a manual transmission. I'd bet many from earlier generations do not even know how to operate a manual.

This is not surprising... what have been told with regards to parenting back in the 90s? Self-esteem is important, don't keep scores in games so that no one's feelings are hurt, grading on curves in school instead of dealing with reality, ... they probably have faced very little adversity in their lives - so they just avoid it. Those kids are getting into adulthood now.
If I am scared to drive... why should I? You need to adjust to my needs. That's what my parents have done... that's what the schools have done...

Seeing you are in Texas, I am betting you too would be a bit scared driving in the NYC metro.
Keeping score is an indicator of how one is doing, and let's us know that we need to pick it up. It also is a teacher in handling adverse situations as well as handling oneself when successful.
Actually I have family in SE Wash DC, Philly area & north Jersey. I would be OK.
It's a device/tactic that has been developed by elementary school children, particularly above the Mason-Dixon Line, to achieve a delay in the battle in their perceived favor. It has been in use for decades.
