Knob
I remember way back in the mists of time owning a car that had a nasty plastic gear knob.

I scoured eBay for a flash leather one and waited patiently for the package to arrive.

So, it arrives, and I am sitting in the car with my new leather knob in one hand, phone in the other, calling my mate to ask how the fuck one removes a gear knob from this particular car.

"Just pull it straight up, you know, surprise it!" said Smiffy, my motor-trade friend.

I did, and I promptly punched myself in the forehead with the 5-speed embossed plastic gear knob.

From the foot-well of the car, where my phone had landed, I could here Smiffy pissing himself laughing; as he knew full well what I had done.

Cunt might have warned me.
