Had a passenger or paxhole that opened the window after I picked her up. Is it normal for a passenger to open the window while the car is in motion when its -20 o C outside. I didn't appreciate the cold draft hitting my head without a hat and the annoying wind noise created when the window was opened. Is this NORMAL behavior? Please advise.

Drivers may have the heat up on blast that could then make it uncomfortable for pax who are sensitive to high full fanning of heat.

And instead of asking the driver to turn the heat down/off, they are more comfortable with just cracking the window down a little themselves.

"Or it could just simply be the fact that you/the pax themselves FARTED!"

When they are drunk they need fresh air, open up your sunroof or install Windows rain guard so it will prevent cold air blow into the car. Always try to keep your car temperature down so they don't feel toast. Down windows is better than puke in the car or you might be a person hunting for puke, cleaning fee! Just kidding

Yes, drunk and/or entitled and/or prone to carsickness. Some people feel your car space is their car space and don't want to experience any discomfort (a little too warm) and use the window to regulate their comfort level. I had a guy the other day who kept opening it a couple cms, closing it, opening it again, the whole 20 min trip. Annoying but at least it's in the 40s F here.
