To think that women (or men) who drop their kids off at school in PJS, go shopping in Tesco in pj's and come down to the breakfast in a hotel in pj's are wrong in the head?

I visited Amsterdam last year and was shocked to see an apparently middle class women coming down to breakfast in her pj's,dressing gown and slippers. Similarly going round Tescos where there are people, especially women in pj's and slippers. No doubt I'll be called an old right wing fascist or something.

Anyway, the Corbyn vision of the UK seems to be going well. A gigantic welfare state where nobody is responsible for their behaviour and a gigantic refugee camp where illegals are hosted in hotels.

There are facebook groups for people like you, YourAmple. You would not be in a minority on those, you'd be applauded for your hyperbole, complete with flag waving.

My sons here right now. He has a crutch and is on disability benefits. He said they're just lazy and don't care.

People other than your family exist.

Get over it.

Seems to me a lot of stereotyping of mentally ill or disabled people as not being able to perform basic functions such as looking presentable in public or even get a job. My son has a job and also looks presentable in public. However, we are talking about people who to hotels and shopping centres and are too lazy to get dressed.

How the f* is it stereotyping when disabled people other than your son have told you why they need to!?

YOU are stereotyping based on your son's experience, rather than listening to others.

Is the attention filling the deep void where your heart should be?

I'm delighted to see my "controversial" thread is still going.

Because of the lack of attention at home?

@YourAmplePlumPoster this is all just YOUR opinion on what is presentable or not.

You're really having the nerve to talk about stereotyping!

It does not affect you. Just avert your eyes. It is that easy.

And he he blessed to not have a disability that affects executive function or means he lacks the energy where he has to decide to get dressed or got out.

Do you think mentally unwell/disabled people run around in their pyjamas? As I have mentioned, I have a disabled son who uses a crutch to go out and about but he wouldn't be wearing his pj's.

Your DS does not represent all disabled people though.

People of a certain group do it in my village shop all the time, I can't drive past it without seeing a woman in her nightgown and slippers leaving the shop

Yes but the usual suspects will be making excuses for the bad behaviour.

It's been reported and @MNHQ have been tagged many times. It's appalling it's been let run with so many insults to mentally and physically disabled / unwell people.

In answer to your question, yup definitely wrong in the head.
When I see people in PJs they always remind me of Vicky Pollard in Little Britain.

Haha 🤣

Vicky Pollard wasn't "wrong in the head". She was just different to you.

Wrong in the head is incredibly offensive.

She was also a posh white man's (punching down) caricature of a working class child. It makes her an interesting choice for this thread.

Perhaps you're one of the people who eats burger and fries on the tube while listening to loud music and wearing pj's 🤔

If you are on the tube, then may I suggest you get off at the nearest station and locate a shop that sells grips... so you can buy one. And get over your phobia of other people wearing PJs, something that has zero affect on you. You have eyes.... turn them to look at something else.
