Answer :

No, you do not! You either left the lights on, left a car door open which used up the light on the inside, or maybe didn’t turn the car all the way off. Getting a jumpstart was all you really needed. I’d just make sure I had a pair of jumper cables on hand is all. But you really should be just fine!!
