Silly question, but would like to know...

Yes I agree it is up to the person who rolled the window down to roll it up again when they leave, but I would probably have checked it to make certain, silly of him to get so hot under the collar about it.

I EXPECT my passenger roll up the window and lock my door. Usually I am really good at telling them. If I am the passenger, I made sure I did those too. DO NOT ASSUME EVERYONE'S CAR HAS POWER WINDOW OR POWER LOCK. These people make me mad.

lol. why am i so mad???

My thoughts exactly. I'm sorry your friend got so upset. Maybe he just felt guilty and that was his way of dealing with it.

In my car, I always check the windows (darn that sunroof, though, sometimes I forget it ), regardless of who my passengers were, or I'll ask whoever it was to roll the window up. With power windows and having control over them at my seat, it's just as easy for me to roll them all up myself.

If I were upset with anyone in the situation you describe, Libby, it would be myself for not checking. Some people leave their windows open during the day to keep the car cooler. Maybe that's what your friend was thinking. Anyway, the only thing I would have done differently is never said anything to him about it. We live and learn about those situations, though, I guess.

But to answer your original question, yes I always try to remember to roll the window up when I'm riding with someone else!

Thanks everyone for the answers to my silly question. I guess I got the answers I was looking for. Most seem to think like I do, but there are a few that think as he did, so I guess he's like them and really felt it was not his job to roll up the window.

Leason learned: not everyone thinks like we do. lol Like I shouldn't have known that already.

I still stand behind that we should have been able to say something to him, without him getting upset. You should be able to talk to your friends and say " Hey, silly you left the window down and it rained in the car, next time try to remembed to roll it up" He didn't get mad when I yelled at him for leaving the gate open and letting Tuffy out. He said he was sorry, Why should this be any different.

Oh well, everythings fine now, he just pulled up a few minutes ago, wanting the oil changed in is bike. So I guess everythings back to normal again and I willing to bet that he rolls up the window from now on. LOL Shoot, without us he'd have no running car or bike, he can't afford to stay mad to long.

I'd bet he will be more careful next time, and your husband and you will too!!!

I would have closed it, and if I didn't and damage was done because of it, I would feel very bad and would help pay for the damage.

[Rio and Me]

I ALWAYS close/lock etc doors and windows of the my car and other's after mine was brocken into, there for i EXPECT them to do the smae in my car.
My friend often opens the window and as i drop her off she says "shall i close/lock it if i say yes she does if i say dont bother then i will, but she ask's so its ok if she doesnt.
But that same friend litter's my car, puts feet on dash board, puts feet on seats (i brought expensive seat covers), lets dirty hair dog on seats, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, she would not like it if i did that in her car, in fact she would go mentle.
IT bugs me if the car is clean when you enter it clean your mess up when you leave better still dont make mess.
