I wasn't embarrassed about the stall but the mere fact that I did something so blind.

Perfectly OK... The first week I was driving stick, I'd forgot that you have to clutch in at a stop (or put the car in neutral) and I just drove like it was an auto. The second I got up to the line, **Plop** it stalled. Usually in most gears you get a little warning about stalling - the car will start to shutter a little and bog, followed by some mild vibrations. That should be enough to remind you to clutch in or give it gas.

I learned to drive stick on a car with no torque or power, so getting into a car with torque made driving stick MUCH easier.
