Going out shopping in your PJ's and slippers

That's the third time this week, a sighting across 3 towns, nice seasonal tartan numbers with sturdy animal slippers Grin

Best one was in Booths, a family of three resplendent in matching jammies. imagine the pearl clutching at that!

Still, what does it mean exactly? I thought this had died off years ago. If it's happening up here in Booths, maybe it's coming to a Waitrose near you further south any time now..

I don't currently drive so I don't have the luxury of choice, it's rainproof up to the eyeballs up here in storm Darragh.

It wouldn't happen in Booths near us! Morrisons or Aldi nearby, but never in Booths!

Many years ago, one of our school mums worked night shifts as a nurse, and she would drop the children off from her car, in her PJs, and go home to bed. But she wore a coat and shoes, and was properly dressed to collect them. We all thought it was eminently sensible.

I had no idea about this Booths. I'm going to take a look.

If up north defo go in, they sell loads of locally sourced food, can recommend fairham gin and the Strawberries in summer are divine.

Are the shades of Booths to be thus polluted?

You can now have nothing further to say. You have insulted pyjamas in every possible method

You take an eager interest in that gentleman’s pyjamas.

What about coming down to hotel breakfast in your jammies? What do people think of that?

Slovenly and lazy, obviously

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 08/12/2024 19:30

My child's nursery regularly has Pj days.

Il run into a corner shop in lounge pants and a pj top with a coat over.

The only place I went to in proper pj's was the hospital in labour when I went from 0 to 100 very very fast at home

They might find something to say but so long as you are dressed it won't be, 'Ffs, grotbag, wear some actual clothes'.

Thanks for the fedback but i dont go around calling people names because they have pjs on we dont know whats going on with them.

Fireworknight · 08/12/2024 19:27

Lazyness. Full stop. The only acceptable people in pyjamas are toddlers, Or maybe kids post swimming lessons. Doesn’t take long to throw in a pair of jeans , and jumper over your pj top.

Definitely attention-seeking. It takes 30 seconds to put jeans and a jumper on.

Attention seeking? Hilarious.

People walk around my local town practically naked but god forbid I go to the co op in my Grinch pyjamas.

mum11970 · 08/12/2024 19:21

Was in PJs most of yesterday but pulled on trackies and trainers for a quick trip out to the butchers in the afternoon. No way was I going out in my pyjamas.

When we lived in London I went to our local corner shop and the guy in front of me in the queue was soaking wet from the shower (it wasn't raining!), barefoot and sporting only a very small towel around his waist. 😕

Maybe he’d run out of shower gel

AwakeNotThruChoice · 08/12/2024 19:19

Don’t you think it’s some kind of Polar Express situation?

We once did this evening out (great fun)
Stopped to get fuel on way home. Wasn’t pay at pump! Obviously I stayed in the car with the children 😁

How do you know how long it takes others to get dressed?

No matter what anyone puts on someone will find something to say.
I dont care what anyone dose ive been to shop in pjs.

DemonicCaveMaggot · 08/12/2024 19:17

Do people go shopping in their nighties?

Would it be more or less acceptable than pajamas.

MyDeftDuck · 08/12/2024 19:16

Good god no! The state of my pyjamas would terrify the natives

I don't understand the mentality of people who roll out of bed and straight out of the house and into the shops. It genuinely baffles me, and I personally think it's gross.

Jennyathemall · 08/12/2024 19:07

It’s grotty, trashy and common.
But I don’t judge.

Jackiepumpkinhead · 08/12/2024 19:06

I find it a bit attention seeking, and grotty. I always wonder if they wear the same pyjamas when they go back to bed that evening. That bit is the worst for me.
