I am leaving work with my coworker to head to play tennis with friends. I’m dressed in a mini skirt, sports bra, and white tennis shoes. I have the keys to my coworker’s car, so I get into the passenger seat and try to start it. The car almost starts but doesn’t. I try a few more times, and then I stretch my left leg across to pump the gas pedal several times from the passenger seat before trying to start it again. The engine keeps flooding as I pump the gas pedal. When the car doesn’t start, I move to the driver’s seat, pump the gas pedal several times, and try to start it again. Each time...

I am leaving work with my coworker to head to play tennis with friends. I’m dressed in a mini skirt, sports bra, and white tennis shoes. I have the keys to my coworker’s car, so I get into the passenger seat and try to start it. The car almost starts but doesn’t. I try a few more times, and then I stretch my left leg across to pump the gas pedal several times from the passenger seat before trying to start it again. The engine keeps flooding as I pump the gas pedal. When the car doesn’t start, I move to the driver’s seat, pump the gas pedal several times, and try to start it again. Each time I start the car, I’m pumping the gas pedal. After 8-10 attempts, each lasting about 10 seconds, the car finally starts. The engine sounds flooded as I pump the gas pedal before each attempt.

I drive off, I managed to drive to the gas station to refuel, but when I tried to start the car again to head back, it wouldn’t start. It made me look bad in front of everyone. I’m so frustrated!. I start pumping the gas pedal again to deal with the flooded engine. It takes several minutes to get the car started again. I make sure to pump the gas pedal several times before starting the car on some attempts. When the car starts, I drive for another 2-3 minutes before it stalls again. The engine is still flooded, and it takes several more minutes to start the car.

I start to think about going back and forgetting tennis because of all the car trouble. Once the car finally starts, I drive back to pick up my coworker.
