Would it ever be prudent to re-open the window? I've been tempted to do this as soon as it's been shut but not wanted any confrontation.
I've done it loads of times. If someone slams the window shut, to the point of making you jump, then they obviously haven't the manners or common sense to consider others.
Once I've reopened a window, I've only ever had one woman say "I've just shut that". To which I pointed out that I've just opened it.

I'm the same. I always just say I've got no change, but don't mind going and buying them a McDonalds, Greggs or wherever is nearby. 9 times out of 10 this will be refused though bizarrely.
