AIBU to think it's lazy and slovenly?

I even hate walking round the house or eating breakfast in my pyjamas! I don't know why, but it feels really slovenly to me. I think it's fine for other people to do that, but not to go out in them. I always get up, washed and dressed before anything else.

100% agree. There is nothing more slovenly than lingering in your pjs. Grim. Why do people not think more of themselves? Why do they have such poor personal standards. It’s disgusting. If I saw someone sat next to me in the cinema in PJs I’d ask for a refund.

Absolutely not. As someone who worked in a shop I have seen more random dicks sticking out of pyjamas than I ever wanted to. 🤢 As for skanky unwashed dressing gowns no thanks. It's grim.
It's a matter of respect for yourself and others.

Yawn !
This is one of those threads that happens every week.
What difference does it make to you if someone does this?
Why does it matter?
It's their life not yours.
Who cares?

I hate answering the door in my pyjamas. Can't imagine going to the shop in them

I think it depends nipping to the corner shop for milk not to bad, doing a full weekly supermarket shop absolutely not

I agree!

I don’t care how anyone dresses when they go shopping as long as they are clean (so not smelly) and not showing too many body parts or privates. Sometimes life is too short to get dressed. I use to go the cinema in my jimjams all the time. Fun.
