Reasons you would keep your window wide open in all weather?

[DessertQuiche]

With the curtains firmly drawn? All day every day? Other than the obvious: a broken window which is unable to be closed (don’t think this is the case due to the below timing).

Since moving in a few months ago, our neighbour’s adult son keeps his upstairs bedroom window wide open no matter the weather. Freezing cold, sideways rain, doesn’t matter. Window stays wide open. And he’s in there most of the day, I can hear him practicing guitar or talking (he has a deep loud voice).

The only thing I can think of are nefarious reasons, eg that he needs the ventilation to grow cannabis (zero proof of this hence the thread looking for other reasons).

I have my bedroom window open all year round and at this time of the year my curtains are pretty much closed 24/7 as I work nights and it's dark outside when I get up

My teenage son has his bedroom window open all the time. I tell him to close it when it rains heavily.

Maybe he smokes a lot of weed?

I haven't closed my bedroom window in years!. I also don't have curtains/blinds. It's hammering down (definitely sideways tonight), and freezing but my windows are open and the fan is on. My bed is nice and cosy though.

I have my window open all day every day. During the day its my home office window. At night its my bedroom window (much to DPs protestations this time of year!)

I like fresh air, and I'm always too warm in bed without a window open. Nothing nefarious going on at all.

I ask my teen this every night and his response he likes the cool air coming in, he is in the box room tho and it's get quite stuffy in there, so yer no grow tent here couldn't fit one in his room anyway.

I work on the theory it's their trauma, not mine! 😂😂 I'll teach them for gawping!!!!

My bedroom window gets shut once a month - when the window cleaner texts to say he's coming.

if I was growing weed it would have to elsewhere -WARM.

My DH and DS have their windows open permanently. Our youngest child has a life limiting condition and gets cold very easily. We have to keep the downstairs of our home warm for her.

DS2 is the kind of lad who almost never wears a coat (he put a hoodie on this week with the snow because it 'was a bit chilly'). So he has his window open constantly to cool his room. The heater is never on in his room and he has a draught excluder on the inside to keep his coldness from cooling the hallway and to stop the heat from heating his room. DH does the same in his room.

He's probably seen his curtain twitching neighbours gawping and he's now keeping it open to give you something to keep you wondering.

I have a friend like this, window open in literally all weather's. Says he gets claustrophobic with it closed 🙈 must admit I laughed a little

High humidity? My son spends practically all day in his room which means the humidity in his bedroom can get really high, so condensation settles on the walls, windows, back of the furniture etc which eventually turns to mould so there's no choice really but to have his window open alot. (I close it on a night because I'm a worse case scenario kinda person and his bedroom is on the bottom floor). I really need to invest in a decent dehumidifier for his bedroom, the one he has no is useless

Ah I see, the ones getting snippy are windows open 24/7 no matter the weather people, and are feeling judged by me asking 😌 To me it’s strange to have rain pouring in the window and a soaked through curtain, but on MN that’s normal and I should mind my own business for wondering why someone would be ok with this. And yes I can guarantee if it’s sideways lashing rain and your window is wide open with the soaked curtain flapping about, people will think it’s strange. Because it is strange. Wanting ventilation or getting too hot is not.

You've come across a seam of "fresh air fanatics". From what I can tell, people fall into 2 camps, the majority that love a warm cosy home and a minority that were raised in barns and just can't adjust. Just like police dogs, we can't wait to be let out so we can return to our kennels in the garden.

Trot over knock on their door and ask them if you're that bothered!

My husband keeps the blinds or curtains shut all the time because he's paranoid about BEING SEEN. For example, if I'm breastfeeding on the side of the sofa that doesn't even face the window, he'll close the blinds.

Given I'm not showing any more than I'd be showing on the beach, I don't know why he makes such a fuss.

If he was growing weed u would be able to smell it, that’s y house that do have the windows closed.

I have my bedroom windows open all the time. I get a headache if they are closed. I’ve always been like this wherever I’ve lived (so it’s not damp or carbon monoxide or anything). I hate staying in hotels where the windows don’t open.

Probably because he doesn't want his wife's boobs to feature in his neighbours fantasies. Quite normal to not want strangers gawping.
