Leaving a window open isnt enough.

Unintentional

I think the police would just laugh at you. Pensioners are not animals, they're more then capable of leaving the car or operating the window. I hope this was a troll attempt or else you are quite the stupid person indeed.

Have cars no deadlocking or electric windows?
If you click to lock a ford twice, it cannot be opened from the inside, and I dont know of any cars that has working electric windows without the ignition on.

I really hope your just responding to try and get people to thank you as they disagree with my original post, otherwise you are quite a stupid person indeed.

For those that got the gist of the original post, good on you.
For those that thought it was to troll, stop leaving your parents in the car park at Tescos with the window down a bit.

But surely if you leave the window down any further, there is a chance that they may climb out and escape!

As I said, It's a pensioner, not an animal. The window was down. It was likely that someone had popped in to buy something and the person in the car was quite happy to sit there until they came back.

If you were so concerned, why didn't you speak to the pensioner? Probably because they would of told you to mind your own business.

Nah, lets not just leave it at that. It goes beyond my (poor?) attempt at having a laugh at something I had observed.

I came out of Tescos with my twins whilst awaiting the wife who was at the dentists. The old guy made eye contact, you could see he was bored witless (for w substitute sh) and he was happy something had came along to grab his attention.

I got the doors open and fastened in the kids under his watchful gaze. Gave them a drink and a carrot stick (ok, it was a fudge, but hey ho, nobodys perfect) and put the trolly back.

I sat for a couple of minutes and was aware of him watching us.

He didnt want to be there stuck in a car, but was probably just grateful his son/daughter had taken him out at all.

The whole post wasnt about an old guy in a car, it was about his selfish middle aged children.

im confused, there was a old person sitting in the passenger seat of a car with the window down whilst the driver was inside shopping.

Point being

On the evidence of this thread, that would be, ooh about one out of sixteen. And I'm being very charitable with that one.

Why, has it suddenly become a criminal offence when I wasn't looking? (Oh, hang on a minute. The last lot that were in government did manage to create over 4,000 new criminal offences, so this is perfectly possible. It's apparently a criminal offence to sell a grey squirrel - though why anyone would want to buy one I don't know, it's not as if there was a shortage of the blinkin' things running around.) Anyway, it's just possible that parents have a perfect right to sit in cars even if they do happen to be parked at Tescos, or indeed anyone at all for that matter. I'm not sure that having children should be a neccessary condition.

Ah, new information. So he was clearly neither deceased nor distressed then, probably just sitting there wondering who was this strange person staring at him, and considering whether or not he should post a thread on MSE asking whether or not he should have reported them to the police or social services.

No, the whole post was just about an old guy in a car. No mention of any children, selfish, middle aged, or otherwise. Which is an assumption, by the way. Might have been his ever-loving wife who decided to give him pass that week. For all you know he might well regard fifteen minutes of quite solitude sat in a Vauxhall Astra as preferable to the torture of trailing around after her in Tescos listening to her loud complaints about the price of beetroot.

P.S. I'm still very impressed by the dog who manages to open and shut electric car windows, mind you.

P.S.S. What's a whoosh parrot? Well actually I know what a whoosh parrot is, or at least I tried Google and established that it's clearly a parrot that's gone whoosh (well duh) and somekind of interweb meme thingummy, but I couldn't really work out the significance.

Lighten up, it was a humourous thread and really doesn't need breaking down and analysing like this.
