Gremlin?

So... Someone please tell me that their rear hatch has automatically opened just by opening an unlocked door and the X had gone to sleep...

No fob/key use or start to have this happen!!

I picked the wrong week to stop huffing paint!

"it's a large building with patients but that's not important right now"

Sounds like a stuck button. Say the release button is stuck pressed either mechanically or electrically, and it wear being ignored because of sleep, it activated when car woke up.

I had to remove the rubber cover from my lid release because my button would get stuck pressed and is either get auto opening hatch or worse/ the computer will ignore the pressed button and i would have to press the inside release, the problem with that is the had struts are worn and the hatch would pop open and re-latch making opening the hatch a two person job!

I believe the actual line was "sniffing glue" huffing didn't become a thing until 10-20 years after "Airplane" came out. One of the best scenes was when he described every single thing about a secret mission except the one thing that wouldn't matter. Also the "drinking problem"

Glue, paint, whiskey all proof that no one likes a quitter...

I may have 2kg of flat nosed beef for Christmas and a little something to bring yuletide cheer also..

Now talk about awkward, try driving through Riyadh with a 7.5ft tree sticking out the back of the X, I can't wait to say Merry Christmas while shopping
