AIBU?

to think I witnessed a woman in Morrisons today that the majority of you would judge?

It was about 11:30ish and she was wearing a bright pink onesie ... tucked inside a pair of Uggs.

This also isn't even a local Morrisons, it was in a retail park not that close to a residential area, so it's not like she'd just popped in to buy some milk.

Lord knows what was in her trolley Wink

I have gone to work in my pyjamas before now, but with a fleece pulled over the top. It saves people asking that irritating question, "You didn't come in especially did you?"

"No sir, I can always be found here in my pyjamas at 3am, just waiting for you to decide that the diarrhoea your dog has had all week is suddenly serious enough to need my services."* Grin

I absolutely draw the line at onesies though. Ugh.

*I'm too professional to actually say this. I have thought it though. Lots of times.

I think YABU and rather mean. Judge people on what's on the inside not the outside.

My adult daughter is one of the kindest, gentlest, friendliest people you could ever met. She'd give the shirt off her back to a stranger if they needed it. She also has AS and is obsessed with cats. She has 3 cat onesies and a hellokitty one that she lives in. I hate to think that people look down their noses at her just because of what she chooses to wear. :(

I think you can tell how posh a MNetter is on one of these threads.

I'd say I'm middle class but live in working class area. Am appalled by outside onesie wearers but see them often enough not to be surprised by them.

Don't take it to heart. Of course no one would judge a person with SN (although obviously we wouldn't know she had SN). Don't take this thread seriously, though.

Me and the toddler are in our onesies now! He loves them and calls them baby suits.

The only time I think it's acceptable to go out in public in a onesie is if it's for charity.

And even then it'd have to be a spectacularly good cause.

I saw two girls wearing them today at around lunchtime.

DH said 'oh look they are in fancy dress!' Grin

These ones had ears and a tail, utterly awful.

It is the first time I've seen anyone in one outside here so I was a bit Shock

morrisons is the only place i've actually seen someone walking around with their skirt tucked into their pants.

Ears and a tail?! I could be converted to these onesies of which you speak.



OMG you can get dinosaur ones! School run here we come... Grin

Aren't they made of nylon fleece? Don't they make a person stink if worn next to the skin... or do you wear ordinary clothes underneath?

I feel very lucky to live in rural NW, where onesies have yet to appear in the shopping aisles of Booths supermarkets Grin.

I think Macklemore looks tasty in his batman onesie in the Thrift Shop video, or maybe I'm just weird....i still would though.

Onesies are often worn to the supermarket round here, so I don't tend to be surprised by them anymore. I was a bit Shock though at the lady I saw the other week in proper pjs (not even the loungewear could almost wear as clothes type ones) and dressing gown doing her shopping one evening. With her grown up daughter who was wearing normal clothes.

Odd.

I saw someone wearing one with ears and a tail while transitting Kuala Lumpur airport a few weeks ago! Looked ridiculous, but comfy for a long haul flight I suppose.

I have never seen an adult in a onesie. I am jealous of all of you, as it would really cheer me up. I guess I need to get out more.

when did the word onesie start being used in the UK? It means a baby vest that snaps at the crotch, not a babygro.

DP and I once went on a UK holiday, I wont name the region but it was NOT a particularly salubrious place. The very antithesis of Featherdown Farm put it that way

he is not from the UK, and was flabbergasted by the vast quantities of women wearing their dressings gowns, Pjs and slippeers all day

I am so proud to be a brit

Wilf has a bat onesie.....He has been obsessed with bats since he was six. Pic on my profile of him in it. He would never be allowed to wear it outside college though!

At least onesies do a good job of covering up tattoos.
