Rain sucks!, Second time this has happened to me! Options

I'm either ridiculously stupid or have the worst luck EVER!!! This is the second time I have been caught with my windows completely open and it starts raining. First time I'm at the mall buying a new phone a service and have no way of getting back to my car specially in a hurry, in the long run I ended up without a stereo for about 6 months because of that one. Then tonight I had my windows open, my gf and I get back from dinner and I'm thinking maybe I should close up my car, but nah I'll just do it when she leaves right?? BIG MISTAKE!! About 10 minutes before she's about to leave my mom is like, hey do you have your windows up its raining?? I run outside try to start my car and nothing, battery is complete dead! I then realize after a hectic 15 minutes of getting a tarp and stuff to cover my windows that had turned my car on earlier in the day. Idk how many people know this but you can leave the headlight switch on even after you turn your car off, opening the door deactivates the headlights shutting them off, but when you just reach the window such as I did today and shut off the stereo headlights remain and drains the battery... So my car gets wet very wet Stupid or just bad luck?? You be the judge

I'll always close my windows, but if its super duper hot and if i know for a fact it won't rain (look at the sky) then i'll leave the windows slight;y down revealing a crack for some air circulation and same goes with the sunroof or i'll just change it to the moonroof....i left it in the moonroof (tilt) and it rained but nothing got wet...i did this a couple times..
Anyway for me when i keep my lights on, and turn off the car, it'll turn the lights off with it.
