Opening windows.

[Rain Man]

Let's say that you work in a high-rise, and that for some inexplicable reason the high-rise had windows that would open, with no screen. Assume that they're normal double-hung windows like you'd find in a house.

Is there some height at which you wouldn't open the windows any more? For example, would you sit next to an open window on the 90th floor?

Just curious.

[Pierce]

Probably be too windy for me on the 90th floor of a high-rise. I'd still open it to see though.

[JBucc]

I don't see a problem with opening windows at any height. It's not like it's gonna suck you out.

[Bugeater]

I don't think I'd have any problem sitting next to an open window at any height, as long as it's small and high up off the floor so I can't trip and accidentally fall out of the building.

Around the 3000th floor, it could be a problem.

[Rain Man]

It'd freak me out to be too high and next to an open window. I'd be worried about slipping on a banana peel or something.

[JBucc]

I wouldn't stick my head out or anything, but I would stand up against the wall and peek down for a few seconds before diving back to the floor and crawling to my desk.

[CHENZ A!]

I'd open it all the way up, but the window would definetly have to be above my waist. If the window were below there, I'd be kind of freaked out.

Bob Dole once lived on the 19th floor of a building in Springfield, MO and we would not only open the window, but sit out on the ledge beneath it.

I thought this was going to be a Microsoft thread.

[TinyEvel]

I always open swindows, because I fart a lot.
In fact, when I enter someone's office, they open the window instinktively (sic)

I would open a window the higher up it is, that way I could flip off the terrorists as our missiles blow up their plane

[Adept Havelock]

I wish the little windows on the observation deck of the St. Louis Arch opened up.

[Frazod]

The highest floor I ever worked on was 51. On really windy days, the building would sway enough to make water slosh in the toilets, and you could definitely feel the swaying and hear the creaking. Probably not a good idea not to have windows capable of being opened that high up.

Yep; I guess which ever floor your PC is on.

[Nzoner]

There's no saying to it,I WOULDN'T work in a high rise.

[StcChief]

With with good screens to prevent birds etc from flying in...

You didn't say anything about being stoned in the original post. Can I change my answer?

[ck_IN]

What a bizarre question. What makes you come up with these things?

Yeah but let's be honest. If you slip and fall out of floor #30 you're probably just as dead as you would be if you fell out of floor #90. Maybe less spectacularly so, but dead nonetheless.

That's why I went with 10.

Now, I know that falling out of the 8th floor will probably kill me as well, but at 8 floors I'm less likely to look out, panic, lose my balance, and fall.

[greg63]

Those underwater buildings can be tricky.

[Baby Lee]

No floor limit for me. How else am I to enjoy the cool even breezes of Anytown, USA.

Sun Villa?

[Predarat]

I dont think it would matter how high it was. But most offices will bitch about an open window even on the first floor because of all the automatic climate control.
