Wife left car window open for 3 days!

the_worrier · 28 Dec 2023 at 07:13

Unbelievable! I got up yesterday morning and noticed my wife had left the drivers window open 3”. For 3 days as it turns out!

Car is soaked but started, windows work, etc.

What is the best trick to sort this asap?

You'll need to get a fan heater inside the car and a dehumidifier as well, which will need to be closely monitored as it will fill up quite quickly to begin with.

I think this is a question your wife has to answer to be fair.

There is literally a puddle in the footwell.

labbby · 28 Dec 2023 at 07:20

have to ask and not really relevant but what car and how old is it ?

Do you know anyone with a wet and dry vacuum, screwfix do a cheap own brand, suck as much as you can out first.

See a lot of cars with the windows cranked open, not sure if it's deliberate or the car is doing it. Apparently it happens with some cars.

labbby · 28 Dec 2023 at 07:23

yeah maybe a vax cleaner/hoover would get it out.

If not you will have to go old school and drill holes through the footwell floor

If it's not raining, run the car turn the heaters on max and leave the window open a crack (to vent), and it'll dry itself out, if there are puddles then pale it out with a cup or whatever.

buy some sponges and a bucket for the wife.

BUDFORCE · 28 Dec 2023 at 07:29

Also pics of the wife please.

Then OCUK forum will judge punishment based purely on how fit she is.

the_worrier · 28 Dec 2023 at 07:35

Haha! She’d love that #BUDFORCE.

How about WE have left the car window open for three nights?

Were you so ****** after Christmas dinner that you could not raise from the couch for a walk around the estate for a couple of days. I walk past our car daily and it is an obvious check to try the door and walk around it giving the tyres a kick etc.

Man up and take some responsibility rather than slagging off the missus on tinternet.

Pretty sexist of you to suggest a woman needs a man to secure a car for her.

Quite right. I consider myself told!
FWIW, the orientation of my drive means I cannot glance across and see. I guess that makes me lazy with a wet backside.

A large bin bag and a blanket will keep the bum dryer whilst driving but yes there is little worse.
