Wearing PJs in Tesco's should be banned because its offensive and making people feel uncomfortable, Ridiculous. Not sure about you but I generally don't find anything threatening or to be worried about by people in PJs? I cant see that its indecent either; I doubt people are parading down the isles in skimpy Lingerie this time of year. Even if they were there is nothing wrong with the human body. This isn't Calvinist Geneva or Taliban controlled Kandahar. Some people are offended by or feel uneasy around Goths, Clowns, Women in niqab or burka, Transsexuals, people in football shirts etc. It doesn't mean that their personal hang ups should restrict other peoples freedom of dress. People are so easily offended these days.

Anyone else offended by people in PJs in Tesco?

train I started the day in jeans and a tunic type top, changed midway through the day after I dropped coffee down my front into the suit I keep in my office for meetings ended up reeking of pipe tobacco so put my spare casual trousers (pink a little baggy joules things) with a long sleved kinda polo top with a jacket my assistant describes as 'a sports jacket'

Gave all the stuff I had worn to the nice lady who chases around after me Doing stuff to get clean so they would be back in my office the next day and went about the rest of my buisness.

My choice was a paper suit that a police lady I work with had to hand or the gift wrapped PJ's I decided the PJ's would be warmer perhaps if it had been the summer I would have chosen the paper suit.

I would never do that. I ALWAYS put a clean pair of trackie pants and an anorak over my pjs before I go to the supermarket. If it is a special day I also brush my teeth and put lipstick on.

Never actually been to shops on my PJs but on cold dark mornings I've thrown a long coat over to take the dog for an early morning walk. Done the same to take DH to the early train. Some PAjama bottoms don't look that different from leggings anyway.
There is a Spar right in the middle of some houses I drive past early to get to work. Have noticed people nipping out for a pint of milk in their dressing gowns. It's only a few doors down from them. Not offended at all by it.

I've done this a few times. It was usually in the early hours of the morning and I was in the midst of a mental health crisis at the time.

Taste is such an individual thing.

I thought they banned them about a decade ago.

Anyhow, how hard is it to slip on some joggers and a sweatshirt to pop to the shops?

In a weird way it can be pick, hard to explain.

i was on a night crossing on a ferry to Ireland. There was a family who got out of their car all in pjs and dressing gowns. It wouldn't have been so bad if they'd gone straight to their cabin but they loitered about in the restaurant and bar for ages. They just looked weird.

My dds used to take their onesies to wear when they popped out for lunch after dance lessons.
Apparently it was the done thing at the time 😁

OK, so only 7 years ago, in one store.

Well, cherry, I have 2 rather difficult kids with SN and mobility issues of my own. If I can't change out of my jammies, I'm not going to walk the 300m to the bus stop to get to the supermarket.

I think it's inconsiderate of other shoppers to go to the supermarket in pyjamas. It's so unhygienic: what substances are likely to be wafting over the food items on display? Dried sweat, the bodily fluids of the pyjama wearer and their lover(s), threadworm eggs if they are infected, since the eggs are laid at night and shed from unwashed bodies and nightwear. Gross.

On a similar note, I also don't like seeing nurses shopping in uniform. Nurses, I have great respect for what you do but please leave your uniform (& its bacterial load) at work!

Hear that, nurses? I know you started at 7:30 and didn't get away until 9, but none of this stopping at the supermarket. District nurses, you too. Go home and get changed!

It doesn't bother me. My DH says it bothers him though, it's effectively a half dressed woman wafting about, especially if they have no underwear on, and it makes him feel really uncomfortable because it's such an inappropriate place where you're not expecting it.

I can't say I'd be massively happy about a bloke walking around a supermarket in his pyjamas, but they don't seem to do it. They'd probably get accused of being some sort of sex offending flasher if they did, but when women do it apparently other people are in the wrong for feeling uncomfortable? Doesn't quite sit well with me.

I'm not offended by folk wearing pjs in supermarkets, but I think it's unnecessary.
It's not like these people don't have time to get dressed surely?

If I saw them at 3am in an all night supermarket, I would think they needed to nip out quickly for something that couldn't really wait.
If I see them at 3pm wearing pjs, I just get the impression they are lazy.

Near me it's highlighted hair pulled back in a messy bun, pjs, open dressing gown and ugg boots... and strangely they seem to have time to do their makeup which is always orange and always a different colour to their neck!

It's revolting; lazy, snobbish, lacking in any self-respect or courtesy to others and yes , chavvy.

I really don't care how judgemental or "pearl clutching" that makes me (I haven't read the whole thread but I assume one of the self-deluded "I'm so laid back and cool" kids has accused those grown-ups amongst us who are able to dress ourselves of being "pearl-clutchers")

I've never actually seen anyone in their pyjamas in any supermarket I shop in and hope I never do. The vast majority of my food shopping is done in M&S and Waitrose, occasionally Sainsbury's and Co-op local. All of their customers have the ability to put day wear on before leaving the house.

SLOBBISH. SLOBBISH, SLOBBISH not snobbish

I don't get why people are so offended by someone else's choice of clothing unless said clothing displays something offensive (either slogan, picture or body part)
You don't know if they have underwear on but then you don't know on a given day WHO has underwear on unless clothes are short, tight or see-through
You don't know how clean they are but then again you don't know how clean anyone's day clothes are either. Not everyone showers daily and puts clean clothes on.

I do think it takes two seconds to throe at least bottoms and a coat on (I will concede I've done that outfit but it was mignight and I'd got a taxi across town for an emergency pregnancy test) so I looked dressed
Also clean and wearing underwear

I will admit that I've been to my local Tesco Express in PJs. I put on a big coat zipped up and knee high flat boots though so only a few inches of the bottoms were showing but still probably quite clear that they were PJs.

At the time I was suicidal due to bipolar disorder. I probably was a bit rank as I couldn't even bring myself to shower but needed something to eat. Ended up in a psychiatric hospital.

As it happens I'm actually vair middle class with a responsible job and groomed usually....so judge away but you don't know the back story!

All I think is "God they must stink" surely they have slept in those pjs or lounged in them so they are sweaty ? It takes me 5 mins to grab a clean t shirt from the drawers and chuck on a pair of jeans its not rocket science

stumbly I doubt if you were wearing a fully zipped up coat and knee boots that anyone would notice; or if they did they would not realise that having made that effort there was a good reason for you to have pyjamas under your coat.

That is not remotely comparable to the 2 girls in the picture in the opening post.

I think people are being at bit over dramatic about the hygiene dangers of people in PJ'S.

Oh please. People are being totally over dramatic over the hygiene dangers of people in pyjamas.
But where would be the fun in being mature and realistic about something that doesn't affect you, when you can behave like a six year old screaming at worms?
