Windows pening autonomously?

Windows opening autonomously?
Here's what happened today.
I parked at work, right in front of the office with a glass front so you can my car. Later in the day about 3:45pm the blinds are closed on the window. Around 4:00pm one of my co-workers leaves. A couple of minutes later I get a call from him telling me to check on my car windows.
I look out and sure enough both driver and passenger windows are open about 3" each. I did not do this, the key fob was in a closed drawer all day, and no one else where I work would have done this either. Yes, the windows were up previously. What makes it worse is that it was raining at the time. Everything was still in the car and the doors were locked.
So... has anybody heard of something like this happening before, a glitch maybe, or do you think there is some foul play involved. I am 100% sure that no one I work with would have done this, or even known how.
I'm freaking out about it.
Sorry - '05 Coupe, fully loaded.
Edit - yes, it did get wet inside but not too badly.

I was crouched down and fiddling with the block heater cable one day. I stood up when I noticed the hazards flashing. I noticed all four windows were down. The button must have been pressed accidently in my pocket by one of the keys. Now I always check to make sure the windows are up as I walk away from the car.

Windows mysteriously open
I have the same experience with my 2005 G35 sedan when parked in my garage where my neighbors also park their cars. In the last six months, three times I have found the car with all of the windows down. I never put all of the windows down at one time and always make sure the car is closed up and locked before I leave it.
This seems to have started since one of my neighbors got a new MB 230 that's also parked in the garage, while all of the other cars are much older. (For fear of looking stupid, I've yet to ask him to test it.) Other than that I dont know of any other signal that may cause this. I'm not aware of any feature on the car or key that opens the windows remotely. Maybe a cell phone or garage door opener?
Ideas?
Thanks

my window won't automatically go up. it will reach the top and then come back down the 3 in. I think there is a TSB for this. You may have trouble recreating this, but luckily (or unluckily) mine does this every time. So right now I have to slowily inch the window up without the automatic kicking in, in order to close the window.

Same issue here with my passenger window. When I use the automatic close, it goes up, then comes down about 3 inches. I took my car to Lake Norman Infiniti yesterday and they acted as thought it was a common problem. The motor on the drivers side was already replaced a few months ago. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the loaner G35x.
