Interesting fuel door

After furiously cursing at it for about 5 min and locking/unlocking the car about 20 times it finally opened like normal. Anybody else had this issue? Is the locking mechanism thingy going bad on my car? What would cause this? First time it has happened in the 3.5 years and 40k miles I've had this car for.
