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?

I wouldn't be offended if I saw this, but I'd think they were chavs with no self-respect.

But I really can't understand all the hygiene arguments.

I don't think that pajamas are any more likely to be dirty than the daytime clothes that someone else might be wearing, but I do assume that the person wearing the PJs is unshowered and I would swerve to avoid their breath.

This is IMO, at the heart of the issue of actually wearing pajamas: it makes you imagine the person rolling out of bed in the morning.

It's not something I've ever had the time to worry about tbh. I might see someone in Tesco in their PJs and think "oh look there's someone in their PJs" but that's it. It does take minutes to get changed but then we've got lots of bigger problems in this world to worry about than what people are wearing.

Whatever happened to 'it's only a snippet of their lives, you don't know what they have going on, they might have depression/special needs/a terminally ill relative' etc etc etc that is normally used as a reason for justifying less than ideal behaviour on here?

There's a woman at the bus stop every morning, who is always in PJs, but with a full face of makeup. That's what I'm baffled by - if you can spend 15-20 minutes slapping foundation etc and false eyelashes on, surely you can spend 2 minutes dressing yourself?

I also used to work with a woman who'd turn up every day in a bumflap onesie. She thought she was being fashionable and 'kooky' (god I hate that word).

I read with interest the post upthread a bit

I volunteer at a charity. We deal with people with mental health problems, physical disabilities, learning difficulties, depression, disabled children, homelessness, hunger, having literally no money, debt, rough sleepers etc. None of the people I've seen over several years has ever turned up at our charity in their pyjamas. These are people, who would have good excuses to do so, but they don't.

The people who I have observed out and about in PJs are assertive, aggressive able-bodied people who are quite capable of going about their business.

I'm picturing...7pm they've probably got changed into fresh pjs to have a quiet night in, decided they wanted a bottle of wine and some nibbles and live spitting distance from the shop...so why bother getting dressed. confused

I don't get this line of logic at all. Why would you not take an extra one minute to change your 'fresh pjs' for outdoor clothes?

And what has distance from the shop got to do with anything?

Thankfully, I have never seen anyone in a shop in their pyjamas in my life. It's utterly slovenly and just weird.

Or they could just be too lazy to get dressed Barbara?

Yeah. Occam's Razor, pretty much.

NavyandWhite I just find the pj lounge wear stuff toooooo comfy to change back into my cold jeans etc etc once I've done a long shift just for the sake of others when what I do is go home to bed.

And for the other person who posted I'm not lazy or rude and don't like the term chavy (is that what I am because I'm from a working class background then? ) judgement or what. I'm a nurse and certainly not lazy

It's disgusting, lazy, chavvy and generally makes the person appear as rough as dog shit.

I love my pjs but my husband is the only person I'd wear them in front of. Can't imagine doing my shopping in them! Ridiculous.

Breaking news....Tesco are going to allow its managers to exercise discretion to chuck people out of their stores if they arrive in bed gear.

Not sure why I posted that twice .

I think what irritates me most about people out and about in their PJs is that in most cases it's a conscious decision and a bit of a 'fashion' statement. I don't live in a rough area but I know of plenty places where people hang about the local town in their PJs and Uggs (I have a pair of Uggs btw and love them - I don't think they're chavvy but they are with PJs!).
I think these people need called out on their ridiculous choices of appropriate clothing.

has anyone done this in waitrose or m&s i wonder ? probably not, naicer class of shopper.

I've never seen anyone out and about in pjs. I feel somewhat deprived. I can only imagine the scandal at the playground had someone worn pjs. I rarely ever go grocery shopping but have never ever seen anyone in pjs on the High Street.

I don't know if I would judge.

I remember seeing a man once wearing pink silk boxers and nothing else (no shoes even) in a grocery store in South Carolina 20 or so years ago. Has stayed in my mind ever since it was so odd. I was in too much shock to judge!

But loads of mums wear gym kit / running compression thingies / tennis kit / yoga kit to school. That must be the local equivalent of some areas pjs.

Pipsqueak, Boden sell the correct 'loungewear' for popping to Waitrose. Especially for men.

Dressing gowns haven't got anything on the Walmart crew! - At least we don't live in America

Well ghostwatch, since you are a nurse you will be fully aware of the infection control issues about wearing uniform (or in your case pyjamas that you wear whilst caring for patients) outside the hospital/care home where you work! What do nurses deal with (& get splattered with) at work? Blood, urine, vomit, faeces. In many cases, these are the bodily fluids of people who are suffering from infectious diseases and these fluids pose a hazard to other people. Then there are the dreaded superbugs, eg MRSA, which should also not be spread unnecessarily into the community. I have huge respect for the very difficult job that nurses do, but I do feel that the minority who wear their work clothes out and about are irresponsible and unprofessional.

boden lounge wear is a dressed up version [pardon the pun] of pyjamas and it still looks stupid in public ! it doesn't matter if it is high end designer it still is silly, lazy and chavvy looking.

Feel fortunate that I have never encountered this stupid habit. Some people are just so fucking lazy and feel they can do whatever they like wherever they like.

I've never seen anyone in Boden lounge wear on the High Street or in Waitrose and I do see a fair bit of Boden (and buy it myself) around my area. It would really stand out if someone wore lounge wear, even Boden - I agree, it still looks silly even if it is considered "naice"
