Spring loaded center punch.
Just a heads up: You can buy a window punch for like $10 and it takes up very little room in your glove box. Its a useful tool for emergencies including situations like this
Get a center punch. Old EMS trick of the trade. You don't have to worry about having room to wind up or possibly fighting gravity if you're the one in the car, and if you're not, you don't have to use it in the center of the windshield (i.e. not right in someone's face).
Nope. /u/wlxd left his referral URL in there, and I'm betting that's it. Here's a clean version of the link which should work and not get caught by automod.

Most likely, the interlocking surface between the clamp and the actual seatpost has been damaged by the seatpost working loose. One way to keep it from slipping is to mar both surfaces with something like a spring punch and maybe some friction paste, then tighten the hell out of it. If that doesn't work, you probably just need a new seatpost.

Tempered glass, is pretty hard to break. You need a hardened glass breaker, or a really significant blow to break out a car window. Most of those cheapy fake glass breakers you see on knives and stuff, aren't actually hardened at all, and thus you rely entirely on your strength (and the small surface area of the strike face) to break the glass.
The easiest and cheapest approach is to keep an automatic center punch in your car. They're a couple bucks and you'll be able to break out in an emergency with minimal effort. The minimal effort part is something to keep in mind because you're probably going to be injured after a car crash, so you might not be up to the task of ape-smashing your way out of your car.

Best tool for smashing windows is spring loaded center punch. However, I suspect that office tower windows might be laminated glass, so although you might be able to break it, you might not be able to get the broken glass out of the window.
You could use a spring loaded center punch like this one to push the pin out:

Once the head is out enough that you can get a flat screen driver our, just slowly pry the pin the rest of the way out.
It's snapped off at the bottom of that hole? Nothing you can do is guaranteed to work.
My favorite way is to use a center punch and a left handed drill bit.

Push the center punch directly into the broken screw until it clicks. It's important to get as close to the middle of the screw as you can.
Next drill into the screw with the left hand bit (spinning the correct direction) until you go all the way through or the remains of the screw come out.
Since it's plastic, never use that screw hole again.
Heh yeah. Get something like this, maybe not as cheap, it makes drilling metal much easier and more precise.
How about something smaller then like a spring loaded center punch.
Here's a few really good gifts that I got recently:

Buy a set of left handed drill bits and an automatic center punch.
Make a center guide hole to keep your bit in the middle, then just start with a small bit and go up sizes. Since the drill bits are left handed, your drill spins counter clock wise, so you have a good chance that the bit will catch and back the bolt out. If it doesn't, you at least made a hole for something like a bolt extractor set.
But by drilling the center out, you're releasing the tension on the threads, so as you go up in sizes on the left handed bits, you should have a good chance of unscrewing this.
You could also prep this thing by putting a few drops of penetrating oil and leaving it overnight to get into the threads.
I can't seem to find a full set of Irwin's carbide bits, they only seem to have packs of the same size, but a multi size pack exists so look around for that. It goes up in sizes from like 5/16" to like a quarter inch. You should get a few of the small bits as they are easy to break.
Machinist here, That's an automatic center punch. They work great for shattering window glass! LPT, turn your face away and wear some hand protection...
You can buy these things called hole punches for getting started with a pilot hole exactly where you want it, then you want to use a step drill bit to the appropriate size. Make sure the bits are rated for the material you're working on, likely steel.
just get an automatic center punch

A spring loaded center punch works very well. http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-6580-Automatic-Center-Punch/dp/B0037UUO60/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404833845&sr=8-1&keywords=spring+loaded+punch
The key to breaking tempered safety glass is to apply the force over a small area.
