Default So my car wouldn't start this morning....

Just thought I'd bring you all a little humor on my part. So this morning I go to start my car and the engine does not even turn. I try about six more times and the same thing. After a few more times of hearing the engine start to turn over it starts right up. I was pretty angry but I let it fly anyways, if it happened again I'd go to the dealer. I go to get lunch and get back into the car and the same thing, except this time it took two minutes to get anything outta it. I get real ____ed and drive my car right over to the dealership down the road. I pull in to the service bay and they guy asks me what I'm having problems with. I tell him that my car isn't starting and shut it off to show him whats going on. I turn the key, all the gauges come on, but the car doesn't start. I give him the "what now" look and am about to go off asking him "why my brand new car isn't starting..." He reaches down and pulls on my floor mat and my car starts right up. My floor mat was inbetween the clutch and the floor of the car from when I had washed it yesterday. Boy did I feel stupid. I just apologized and drove out laughing at myself. I sure am glad I didn't go off, otherwise I would have looked like an ___.
