I used to work for the highway department, and we had to back a trailer loaded with Gravely mowers and trimmers, etc. into a narrow garage each day. The first time I had to do it (as an 18 yr old), I thought, "slow and steady, subtle turns of the wheel...all good." I felt pretty confident until I looked in the mirror and saw a bunch of smiling veteran employees gathering to watch and have some fun at the rookie's expense. Nothing like a critical audience to put the pressure on! Good times.
