Okay, this one's a true story. I was on a train from Leipzig to Amsterdam, and I wanted to open the window, but I didn't want to open the blinds. I wanted fresh air while I slept, but I didn't want to be annoyed by lights, so I thought I could open the window while leaving the blinds closed. Dumb! As soon as I opened the window, the wind caught the blinds, ripped them right out, and the heavy bar at the bottom of the blinds spun around and smashed the window. So, I had neither window nor blinds the rest of the way to Amsterdam. I was almost deaf and blind by the time I got there.
