to think that this is not right

[Idliketoteachtheworldtosing1]

I was in my local supermarket today and encountered a woman who was dressed in pj's and a dirty old dressing gown, this was at 2pm by the way. Am I being unreasonable to think that this is not right?
It's not the first time I have seen this, sometimes it's those god awful onesies! It seems to be quite a common occurrence at our local morrisons. Now I'm no snob but what the hell is wrong with these women, how can they think that wearing your nightclothes in the afternoon and doing a full shop is acceptable. There is a lady who lives on my road and no matter what the time of day she wears a dirty old dressingown, even to collect her children from school. I don't understand people that don't take pride in their appearance, if I dressed like that my children would be mortified. Surely I'm not alone in thinking this??

my beef is with school drop offs - laziness and lack of hygiene is not a good value to instill in children. And if you cba to get dressed before taking kids to school then you are lazy and grubby and I will judge.

Right

I've never seen anyone out and about in a dressing gown, although I have seen the occasional onesie. When we went to Thorpe Park last March, there were a few teenage girls in their onesies. I wasn't sure if they'd done it for fun, or if they just couldn't be bothered to get changed. Their make up was immaculate, but their hair was all over the place. I was very confused.

I don't judge any more - the last few times I've thought 'she's in her pyjamas!', it's actually turned out to be those patterned trousers that are fashionable at the moment. I am very unfashionable, so it took me a while to catch on .

Well being in your dirty work wear is fine, because they are work clothes and you have been working in them! Work dirt and sweat is very different from sleep dirt and sweat.

And morally superior

I've been outside in my PJs once, to the shop. I was sectioned the following day. I appreciate that's an extreme example!

But yeah, assuming no physical or mental health issues, it's bloody lazy. If you turned up at DS1's school at pick up in your nightclothes, the teachers would watch you and your DC like a hawk after that - there seem to be a lot of families involved with social services there, and it's the sort of thing teachers seem to keep an eye out for. In the past it's probably indicated certain issues.

Oh a girl has just walked past my window with her short pjs on obviously her summer collection 😂

I just imagine that having slept in them all night that they smell. It's so gross and just screams "I don't have any self respect and I'm so lazy I can't even be bothered to put on a pair of trousers/skirt etc to go out in public".

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and in some discomfort but I make sure I'm dressed by 10am as I just feel lazy otherwise, even if I'm not intending to leave the house. I can imagine that lounging around in your nightwear all day can't do much for your mental wellbeing.

I don't care if it makes me morally superior. I'm not ashamed to say I look down on those who can't be bothered to wear proper clothes in public.

Why's it so disgusting and minging? What do you think they've done to their dressing gown?

It's no worse than someone wearing clothes covered in cat hair and stinking of smoke. I think you're being U

I can't imagine being arsed about what strangers are wearing. A lot of them probably are lazy. And? Does it reaaaaally affect you and your life?

I live in a deprived area.. It's rife here to see mums ( always the woman, men usually asleep) in pjs and sometimes a dressing gown.
It's slummy and lazy and indicates a certain kind of person ( in this area at least ). It sets no example to the kids.
Elasticated pull on patterned trousers, Underwear and a t-shirt. Sorted, just as comfy but looks a million times nicer. Cheapo ballet pumps instead of the uggs slippers and jobs a good un. Get up five mins earlier and have some pride.
And no, I don't mean people with disabilities I just mean lazy feckers and I'm talking from experience here.

Tut Tut. This is why I shop at Waitrose.

Of course it's ok to turn up in work clothes / dirty labourer clothes that's entirely different!

How is it different? A pp stated that her objection to people doing school run in nightwear was based on hygiene concerns. I was pointing out that someone might get dirty during the course of their work so wondered if that kind of dirt was also unacceptable or does it depend on the type of dirt and/or how it came to be there ie honest days work versus slovenleness

I definitely judge people who do this.

There is a woman who I see daily at school pick up time, she walks to the shop in pyjamas, slippers and dressing gown. She buys a milkshake or energy drink and walks back drinking it then leaves the can / bottle in the middle of someone's driveway.

It's the same as people who let their kids stand in trolleys and eat food when they are going round the supermarket before they have paid for it.

Some people don't see it as a problem - I think it's horrible and gives an impression of being lazy and entitled.

This thread will run and run!!

For me dropping off at school in pjs is ok -
It's when they collect them in the same pjs that I hoist my judgy pants.

Round here it seems that Morrisons on a Friday in your pjs and with your hair in curlers to buy vodka is part of the getting ready routine ...

I hate it, and I live in an area where it's pretty common to see women in PJs and dressing gowns. But I'm also a bit of a hypocrite, because whilst I don't go to the shop in my pjs, I will take the dog in the garden for his morning/bedtime pee, and I have walked up to the shop in tracky bottoms and teeshirt with a coat over to disguise the fact that I'm not wearing a bra. I don't actually sleep in pjs, they are for lounging around the house in, so they are not sleep-sweaty but I wouldn't consider them suitable attire for doing a school run or a weekly shop in.

When I see it in Glasgow city centre it makes me cringe

Ypu have no clue I did this last week

I had be woke up 6 times during the night then baby woke the 3 year old who promptly didn't go back to sleep from being woken at 4 am I was knacked it was all I could do to get the kids washed and dressed and get to school tbh I was amazed I could even drive I was so tire I have 4 children

Would go into a shop like this but just couldn't sort myself out in time had a shower when I got back and a sleep

In the past, usually when poorly, I would throw some tracksuit bottoms and a jumper over the nightie I was wearing to take the kids across the road to school. It took no more than two mins and meant I was dressed. The kids would have been embarrassed if I turned up in pj's.

It is slobbier than I would be, but it seems judgemental to say it's 'not right'.

Perhaps she has MH problems, perhaps she has motility problems so changing clothes unaided is hard for her, perhaps she just has different standards to you.

I was amazed I could even drive I was so tire ......I judge THIS way more than I judge the PJs!!

You don't know why they are dressed in PJ's though.

I went through a phase last year of dropping my children to school in PJs. I was ill for about 6 months and the best I could do was getting the children dressed and to school. I didn't have the capacity to wonder if I was being judged or not because I could hardly move.
