To think coming down for breakfast in a hotel in your PJs is really bad manners

[Nurserywindow]

We were away at the weekend in a hotel with a couple of friends whose teenage daughters insisted on coming down to breakfast each morning in skimpy pyjamas. We were embarrassed and could see hotel guests looking a bit askance. However, their parents didn't say anything so there was nothing we could do.
They also lounged around the general reception area for about an hour afterwards using their ipads, before going upstairs to get dressed.

AIBU to think this was rude and they should have been told firmly to get dressed before coming downstairs?

YNBU
But it's all very well saying the parents did nothing. You don't know they could have been battling wit them all morning. There is only so much you can do with teenagers. They're 14 and 16 not 4 and 6.
Also if they want to make a show of themselves let them.

usual I've just come back from a camping trip, I can assure you that plenty of people wandered down to the shower block in their PJs.

Shower block . There is the one and only reason I will never go camping. Let alone encountering other campers in their PJ's.

They will not sweat sir.

They will look effortlessly comfortable yet strangely cool. They will eat organic quinoa and enjoy colonic irrigation.

Well you can't have a shower in your tent

Or you could end up with this as your cleeyongs Wide.....

I see loads of women walking round in those colourful, jersey, baggyish trousers and vest tops. They look just like pyjamas IMO.

needsasock people are free to wear whatever they want. In their own homes.
A hotel room (that they've rented) is the equivalent. The dining room isn't, it's a communal space therefore you don't get to do whatever you want in it.
Really surprised the staff didn't say anything, tbh.

Argh I'm far too pregnant and ragey for this thread!
People REALLY think it's bad manners to wear pyjamas for breakfast? They just wanted to be comfy. How could this bother you?!

It doesn't bother everyone luckiest dear. Come to my new hotel.

That's what they will eat and wear - in your head. In reality they will wear sweaty nylon onesies from George and will order sausages and fried eggs cooked in lard. Your quinoa will be thrown out of the windows, where the scabby pigeons and screecy urban gulls will gather and spit it out in disgust

Ooooh - a pregnant ragey woman as your first client! Minging Towers is a good name

There was supposed to be at the end of that!

Sorry, Sir, did you say something? I was transcendentally meditating whilst preparing a raw food spread for my guests.

I have extended the PJ rule to include lunch and dinner, FYI.

And they are not pigeons, they are the resident hens, you fool.

I run a DA outreach service limited.

And I get very annoyed when people like to set the air con to really low temps and like to stay warm and comfy so I keep a onesie and slippers at work because apparently it's unreasonable for me to insist it does not go below fucking freezing.

And I don't much care what anybody else wears to work as long as they wear outdoor clothes when they have meetings.

In people's leasure time I think they should be able to dress like they are at leasure and if that happens to be in pj's so be it. Because there are far more interesting things in the world to get excited about. Like biscuits especially ones wrapped in green foil.

Well, I suppose the average guest at Minging Towers won't know if they're looking at a hen or a pigeon, so you'll be fine on that front

Yes I do think it's bad manners. It wouldn't exactly bother me or stop me enjoying my breakfast, but I'd feel really sorry for these girls and/or their parents as clearly they have no idea how to behave.
I've been flamed under another name by saying I think less of parents who take small children to the supermarket in their pjs, and I haven't changed my mind, though it did teach me how many people think this is ok, which amazed me.

I walked to a cafe for breakfast in Australia once, wearing my pyjamas and flip flops

NeedsasockAmnesty - what is DA please?

and which biscuits are wrapped in green foil?

We have the opposite in my office, one lady gets so cold she has this horrible blow heater on the minute it goes below 20C outside.

I'm afraid I think hotels and pjs don't mix just as I think Tesco and PJs don't mix. I take the point about spas but that is their dress code and it's kind of true, everyone does waft about smelling of clean linen!

confused by the poster who is worried about going from room to spa in a robe but they usually have a changing room if you prefer.

does that "cool comfort" stuff work? I have a couple of menopausal friends who would like to hear about if it does.

This is MN though annandale - a parallel universe where normal doesn't exist

I also think this is really rude too and wouldn't have done it and don't do it now but as another poster said Id probably have raised my eyebrows but then spied something on the breakfast bar I wanted!

I wouldn't allow this with my own DC and to be honest I would just go down to breakfast and if they wanted to fart about preening infront of the mirror then it would be their own fault if they missed breakfast

AIBU has a very particular audience. I wonder what results this questions would yield on Chat or other boards.

Ahem.

In Freedom Towers news, the dress policy has been update to include PJs AT ALL TIMES for under 4s Although I'm toying with letting 'em wander round butt naked after consulting with DC (3)

Domestic abuse. And I don't know I was hoping someone would tell me because they are really nice I'm sure they have mint in.

Viscounts.

Green foil wrapped biscuits of mintyness.
