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??

Who says people don't have a clue? I have lived in exactly the sort of community I am describing. My neighbour frequently spent weeks in pjs because she was depressed and didn't leave the house.

I still saw lots of people wandering about in their pjs because they were lazy feckers who sat in front of the tv all day and just didn't have any reason to get dressed. No MH problems involved, just poverty of aspiration.

Always makes me laugh when keyboard warriors say "no clue". Like you know me!

Where I live must be posher than I thought because I never see this.

(All despite some of the cheapest housing in the country)

I really, truly, genuinely don't understand why people mind. How does it affect other people even slightly what someone chooses to wear to the supermarket- unless they are shedding dirt into the grapes or smell really bad or something. Why do you care?

I don't know what's wrong with "poverty of aspiration". To my mind there's too much aspiration in this country and the world would be a happier place if everyone just chilled out a little.

I think it's pure laziness. We have a neighbor with some pretty severe mental health issues and sometimes we don't see her for weeks at a time and yet she even manages to put actual daytime clothes on before she walks down the street.
If you want to see some funny and occasionally inappropriate clothes for shopping have a look here. www.peopleofwalmart.com/page/3/ Guy in a Christmas onsie shopping made me giggle.

I've never seen this and I must admit I'd be a bit judgy if I did.

t1 you don't know what's wrong with poverty of aspiration?

So you're fine with generation after generation of unemployed right? With zero social mobility? With kids being raised to expect unemployment and the welfare state and nothing else? Kids who don't want to be policemen, or nurses, or pilots? Kids who have nothing, holes in their clothes, second hand everything? Kids who aren't taught basic hygiene so get bullied at school for being the smelly kid?

That's ok with you? Wow!

I don't know why judging and caring are being treated as the same thing on this thread. I do keep saying i don't care.

Yanbu but idk why u care as much as u do id silently judge for about a min then completely forget it

All encapsulated in someone popping to the shops in their pyjamas.........

A judge is a split second thing. I don't think it involves caring.

Suppose you are right usual

YANBU, it's lazy, I wouldn't do it I have plenty of comfortable day clothes to wear to go outside.

If the pyjamas in question were navy blue or black and worn with trainers how would you know they were pyjamas?

The woman in the OP wasn't wearing blue or black with trainers. She was wearing a dressing gown!

But my point is that you could be in a supermarket full of people in their pyjamas and not know it..............

It's rank, I'm straight up judging it. I'd rather be judgemental than slovenly.

IrisPrima totally agree with you. Children seeing that their parents don't care, are not working and they have no role models. Very sad.

Do you all think a cold bath every morning is character building as well?

usual .... what would you think if a parent routinely took their child out and about for the day in their pyjamas, vest and pants?

Quite possible to work, be a role model, show your kids that you care and wear pyjamas.
