/me opens window

Schlurbi: What?! Your windows open to the outside!?

(with a very weird and confused look on his face)

Never heard of that, we must be very strange to him.

And from a place where everything is wrong. The windows, the driving side.

then he keft me

in finland windows open both ways

in Nazi Germany, window opens you

this.

McWill just won the thread.

Oh, that's a classic

I lol'd

but that's how windows work, you push them out to open them, not pull them in.

Pffft, not any window I've ever seen.

Some of the windows in my house I have to pull down to open

Pfft, that's silly, taking up space on the inside and getting in the way

my old house has windows with the pivot in the middle, The worst of both worlds!

Heh, the headbashing thing is the only disadvantage, really, but it's not particularly common. I would much rather have the spare space around the window on the inside, otherwise they just get in the way.

unless a guy was walking right across your front garden, how would he bash his head against the window any way?

an open window is an invitation for your stuff to be stolen. You have been warned.

That applies both ways round
