To wonder why people leave the house in pj's?

[Fixitagaintomorrow]

Now I'm not being judgemental, I think people can wear whatever the hell they want, but there is something that's been niggling me.

DD attends a nursery located round the back of the local primary school. On our way there I see all the kids being dropped off and by the time I've got her to the nursery, said goodbye and walked back round to the front of the school I see the stragglers coming in late. It's always the same 5 women and they're always in pj's. However, I have noticed something about the pj's, they always look clean and not slept in, I.e no creases. All 5 of them! Since then I have noticed it in other places too, the women that go to the corner shop and Asda etc in their pj's are the same.

So my question is this, do these women actually go to the effort of changing out of their dirty pj's and put fresh pj's on to leave the house? And if so, WHY?!

my job at the time explained my being seen out in clean bed wear .....
Seriously???

Uggs in the winter, flip flops in the summer as I said.

I once spent £2000000 when wearing my pyjamas. Well obviously once. It's not the sort of thing one does regularly.

Dontlaugh, the imagination boggles. Sorry HoneyDragon.

QC? Hell no, that's a proper responsibility

I think I might go change into my pj's now.
oh wait - its not long till morning, think I will just sleep in my clothes :)

This thread is fucking hilarious.
Ok, HD is not a QC but did, one point, have a post which explained her wearing bed wear during the day.....
She managed to spend £2m whilst wearing PJs.
She does not like responsibility.
WHAT does HD do?

Mostly a bit of wheeling and dealing and a spot of ducking and diving

I'm currently employed in a preschool. All children in my care have not been stained blue. I'm doing well.

Now I think you're Del Boy.
Carry on.

pretty much. Certainly by mn standards.

You don't see them in Waitrose because those of us classy enough to shop in Waitrose know that you need to wear an overcoat on top of your PJs to go shopping.

Duh.

seeing people in their pjs is a bit tmi.

This is in danger of getting quite philosophical, which style differences denotes the difference between pyjama bottoms and casual trousers? Is there something indecent about pyjamas or the night time that make them unacceptable in the day? Why do people feel so strongly that one type of trouser sold as pyjamas shouldn't be seen out of doors even if they haven't been slept in?

I wear pyjamas around the house and nipping outside to let the dog out, sort the bins etc, I haven't tested social boundaries by wearing them shopping (except online ;) ) or in other very public spaces.

I think I'd be surprised to see someone out in PJs, but not judgey.

Would it be better if I went to Waitrose with a lounge suit on with Hunter wellies? I'm sure it would say more about me than PJs and Ugg boots

And wax jacket

Actually I think it's pretty clear the only answer is to ban nightwear.

Obviously it will be a shame for those who have been wearing their bed apparel appropriately and responsibly but the rot must be stopped.

I'm surprised the DM hasn't picked up on this. I'd have thought they'd have been running emergency colour supplements on the disgusting new phenomenon.

Have you been in a coma for the last six years? I don't even live in the UK, but I know this question was probably last asked by my gran, sometime in the early noughties.

That long?! It must be posh round here.

I love dressing for the day. - I don't! I hate it. I hated it through all 25 years of a career that required me to be 'groomed', through school before that, and I'm fucked if I'm going to do it now I'm old, poor, and have no-one to answer to. You might be a little bit relieved to hear I don't own any patterned pyjamas - but 90% of my clothes are cotton jersey. I wear these clothes more or less at random, in or out of the house and in bed if I feel like it. I am v happy about this :)

Judge me if you like, but not for finding conventional vanity boring & shallow.

I'm surprised the DM hasn't picked up on this. I'd have thought they'd have been running emergency colour supplements on the disgusting new phenomenon.

They do it in Seoul.
SJP does it.
Kate Moss does it.
... PJ bashers.
... you are WRONG!
I must immediately buy some patterned PJs and some Hunters.

I don't really have a problem with your judgement about what time people get up or thinking that they look a bit stupid. But disrespectful to the people who have to look at you? Are you fucking nuts?
Sometimes I wear clothes that other people wouldn't like. I have really frizzy hair and am not very pretty. I don't make a lot of effort to look prettier because it's a losing battle and I don't have time to put on loads of slap in the morning. Is that disrespectful to people who have to look at me?
Don't fucking look then.
I'd happily do the nursery run in my jammies if I didn't have to go straight to work. As it is, I do it in cycling gear and no make up because I cycle my 12 mile commute. I look rough as fuck. Sorry if you find that disrespectful.

It depends what time of day it is- if your just popping to the shop at 10pm I think thats fine as there is not much point getting changed or say 6am. But if it's the middle day it is a bit lazy and most people should get dressed for the school run.

I shouldn't laugh, but what kind of person feels 'judged' over something trivial like wearing pj' s to the shops?

It's not as if the OP is discussing world peace. :)

Judged, judgemental and judgypants (who the f made THAT gem up?) are most overused words on 'MN.

I have yet to see people wearing PJs in Waitrose, but see lots in Asda. Wonder why.

Because people who shop in Waitrose are more likely to be full of shoppers with self respect and less likely to be full of chavs?! disclaimer - I shop in Asda regularly!
Seriously though, going out in your PJ's to the shops/ school run is just sheer, utter laziness, and utter skanky.
