    You forgot the one where the window is fixated just in one lower corner and it looks so vulnerable and creepy at the same time

      The first time that happened to me I freaked out thinking the window was falling out of its hinges.

        I still am freaking out every time it happens. What happens if you actually don’t scream and fight for your life by pressing against it and putting it back into a closed position immediately? What happens if you just let it happen and let go?

          It holds on the one corner until you push it back in.

            If you let it fall into this position from the original window position, like if you unlock it and wait for a wind gust, it may break the one remaining hinge off and fall flat. Not the best thing to experience, and replacing the window is not either

              Oh yeah I should have said, it’s certainly not something you should do a lot or keep it like that haha. They’re definitely not designed to be in that position.
