There is a "Feature" which cannot be disabled whereby the windows open with a short and a long press of the key unlock button.

I am used to keeping keys in my pocket. They get squeezed, and on two occasions I have found all of the windows unexpectedly open. On one occasion it had rained (fortunately not too much), on the other the car had a lot of pine needles blown into it, and a bird had obviously been in the car.

Removing the battery from the key presents other problems, like the alarm going off.

This is not only very irritating (and potentially damaging - what if it had rained a lot, or squirrels decided to make it a nest?), but it shows a complete lack of engineering thinking by Honda - which I have previously considered a well engineered brand. The dealership was unable to suggest any way of fixing this.

I am not alone in keeping keys in my pocket, it is a very common practice, and not unreasonable.

Keeping the key in a metal case solves the problem, but is very uncomfortable.
