Car would not crank over at ALL last night??

SO ...last night after leaving my girdfriends house, i went to start my car and NOTHING......the battery was fine because all my electric crap was working

the engine wouldnt even crank at ALL... i could hear the fuel pump turn on

other than that nothing

after about 15 to 20 minutes of wondering WTF is going on..... i put the car in neutral and it finally cranked over and then started..

anyone have any ideas wtf was going on.... i dont want to get stranded in a public and have to end up leaving my car overnight somewhere

Park/neutral safety switch. Located on either shifter or transmission somewhere

Won't let you start the engine if the car is not in Park or Neutral, or Neutral on a MT.
Sometimes it goes out entirely and you can't start the car at all. Sometimes, just Park, or Neutral, will go out.
