This is annoying chiefly when traffic comes to a smoking halt on the uphill freeway, and all one's attention is focused on stopping at the expense of shifting. And then one is left, stock-still, while everyone begins to move off on their merry way. And one ignominiously struggles off to the left side of the road and works the throttle and shifter until such gear is reached that one may actually move. By this time traffic is moving at a goodly clip next to one's right shoulder and one hopes and prays everything clogs to a stop again, so that one may rejoin the stampede. And then (a gap!!) one loses patience and performs a spectacular redline merge, bits of retread and litter flying in all directions.
