My dad's crappy 10 year old Hyundai, with the original battery, sits in the barn for 6 months every winter, and starts with no problems every spring.
If a car won't start after being parked for a few months I would consider it a problem.
If the battery is very old I'd change it first, otherwise I'd check the car for electrical problems.
Who worries about letting their car stand still for a couple of weeks?

Completely stock it lasts a fair while. The security stuff etc does draw some juice although minimal. Adding stereo, alarms and stuff in standby mode etc I course accelerates that as well.
