woman shopping at Sainsbury wearing all in one pyjamas

... spotted this afternoon at my local branch.

Have been feeling depressed at how rough the area has been getting recently (crack house at the end of the road, dog shit every 10 yards on the pavement, fly-tipped mattresses and shopping trollies in every ally way).

But the sight of this woman shopping in her pyjamas is the final nail in the coffin.

And I know I'm going to get flamed for mentioning it, but she was at least a size 18, so she looked like a giant telly tubby. I mean - why? It's like deliberately going out without your teeth in, or with a giant wedgie, or with your slippers on. You might as well pin a big sign on your back saying 'feck the lot of you!'.

Sad

are there poppers under the bum? Or do you need to get naked like a true toddler if you need a wee?

tigerlillyd02 · 29/01/2012 23:28

lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, not something I'd even dream of doing but I would have to seriously control my strong urge to laugh out loud when I spotted her!

Bestb411pm · 29/01/2012 23:29

I really want a onsie Sad

shagmundfreud · 29/01/2012 23:29

Oh god, I never thought of that.

Boak at the thought of crutch flaps on an adult onesie.

Get one Bestb411pm. You can just use it for visiting Sainsburys :)

lisad123 · 29/01/2012 23:30

Lol @ giant telly tubbie Grin

Wittsend13 · 29/01/2012 23:30

Do you mean the onesie?

I have one, my husband cringed with embarassment when I went out to get something from the car on the drive while wearing it.. he would lock me in the house if he thought I would venture off the property in it!

shagmundfreud · 29/01/2012 23:31

tiger - I was veering between laughing and shuddering.

She had her pyjamas tucked into Uggs, so was doing the Ugg shuffle up and down the aisles.

she's a MNer and it's a dare.

Was she loitering around the ham, hoping someone would spot her hovering over the naice one?

tigerlillyd02 · 29/01/2012 23:33

Shock at the prices of them onesies wittsend13

shagmundfreud · 29/01/2012 23:34

Not as tasteful as those wittsend.

It was cerise, tiger striped, and a little bit too tight.

That links great - I could go to waitrose in this classy baby classy onesie

And this one for Asda and nicking tins of beans Robber onesie

I wonder what my chances for valentines gifts are Hmm

StealthPolarBear, fully naked if you want a wee as they fasten via a zip down the front. The government should buy a Primark pair for every teenager in the country as they are the best passion killing contraceptive device I have ever seen.

I absolutely detest people going to the shops in their pyjamas. It's lazy, slovenly, and trashy. I've been outside in my PJs as an adult once and that was to travel home from hospital after having an EMCS with DD but I went car>house with no stops in between. I often walk past the local schools when I out with the DCs and the amount of mothers in PJs picking their kids up at 3 o'clock is unbelievable. 9am drop-off you could sort of understand, once in a while, everyone slept in and there's only time to dress the DCs but 3pm pick-up still in PJs and carrying shopping bags? Trashy.

It takes five minutes to get dressed FFS!

I saw some yesterday at our local supermarket in two piece pj's and slippers Hmm and it had been raining so the floor was wet, very odd

Tiredmumno1 · 29/01/2012 23:36

The onsie is the single most comfortable garment invented by man.

She sounds very sensible, if not particularly fashion forward.

Did it look like it had a... fleece lining?

shagmundfreud · 29/01/2012 23:38

topaz, the whole thing looked like it was made from cheap nylon fleece.

My mother works in a supermarket, she would happily bar all the PJ wearers given half a chance. She tells me several locals don't even wear shoes when they pop in for milk.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 29/01/2012 23:42

Those two in the links are quite nice. If I wasn't a flump, I'd buy the classy one for myself! Unfortunately, the size that fits round me is designed for someone six foot six!!! Confused

Bestb411pm · 29/01/2012 23:42

Please tell me there was at least a VPL?

Onesies are obviously the best invention known to man, but you can't desecrate them by wearing them out with no underwear. Yhat's slovenly.

Bestb411pm · 29/01/2012 23:42

*Thats

shagmundfreud · 29/01/2012 23:43

sigh...

what's the world coming to?

When I was a girl, my mum wouldn't leave the house without hair spray and lipstick.

Those were the days. She'd always run and 'freshen up' before my dad came home from work. Squirt a bit of perfume on and have a gin and tonic and a naice china bowl full of crisps waiting for him as he came through the door.

My life was like an episode of Mad Men.

Now it's like Shameless.....

Topaz - was it invented by 'man' though? :o Not a silk negligee? :o

I would wear one - although not shopping!

have been known to struggle my jeans on over my jim-jam bottoms before to do a quick milk run to tescos Blush But am a top bird - I always comb my hair, put jeans and boots and coat on first - am so classy! :o
