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?

YABu - for calling it "discusting" instead of the actual word "disgusting"

Is it a trendy thing? In the way wearing rollers in your hair when out and about is almost fashionable in places like Liverpool.

Discusting is the joke spelling. It means I don't find it disgusting, but others may.

bunty

Is it? Why would anybody wear rollers in their hair out and about? :0

That's about as crazy as wearing pyjamas to the supermarket...

Haha it took me exactly 2 hours to realise museum was actually joking.

I read the thread throughout the busy morning so utterly failed to get the TITLE joke.

Sorry!

It is a fascinating topic because it hits on ingrained social conventions that define what is socially acceptable and what is not. Match it up with boarded up high streets, tattoo parlours and charity shops springing up everywhere, disaffected kids and disaffected adults, it becomes something almost tribal, almost visceral if you like.
A new social strata is emerging, a new sub-culture is evolving out of the darkness and chaos of 21st Century Britain. Arriving at a neighbourhood near you very soon.....

Very true, pallasathena

Bit of social anthropology there.

Get your pitchforks at the ready, they are coming in their onesies!

Why not carry on with your shopping and spend less mental energy concerned with what others are wearing?

Apparently so horatio! Going into town on a Saturday afternoon with curlers in your hair has become a fashion trend all of its own. Personally I'd feel like a total pillock.

We used to wear rollers in public because we didnitoah dancing and you (used to) have to have curly hair for competitions. So compete on a Sunday on the Saturday you'd go to the social club in your rollers. But that wasn't for fashion like the Liverpudlians do (maybe that's where it came from? Lots of Irish in Liverpool)

bunty... why?? Well, they're not harming anybody and I can have a laugh at their expense. But seriously?

I like my curlers. They're really big and perfect for a quick and slightly voluminous (non-curly!) blow dry. But this...? 😂😂

Although I admittedly had a phase when I was a bit of a goth (until DM forbid me from wearing black makeup....). I guess she must have felt the same,

Were you an Irish dancer? I love that form of dance! (We don't have anything comparable in my home country... at least imo.)

Nowadays they seem to favour really big wigs, don't they?

I'm old school. If I have curlers in my hair I'd no more head into town for some retail therapy than I'd streak naked down my local high street!

Get dressed to go out. Appropriately. How difficult can it be?

Your self-esteem must be pretty low if you go out of doors in your nightwear. It is incredible to me that some think it is acceptable. It isn't. No matter how much you may argue that people are being petty or judgmental, it won't wash. (No pun intended...bleurgh). It might be better for you generally if you sharpened up your attitude and overhauled your lifestyle.

The new Irish dancing wigs are something else. The phrase ‘finger in electrical socket’ springs to mind.

I flew out of Liverpool earlier this year on an early morning flight. There were lots of women at the airport waiting to fly in their rollers.

Coleen Rooney was once papped out in the street in her rollers. Classy...

bunty

I think I might prefer the streaking? People may think there was a fire or that I was fleeing from a burglar or something! In the case of the rollers? It looks like an intentional statement.

Rollers is not even looked at as odd in Liverpool. Loads do it.

They take their commitment to Saturday night glamour seriously in the North!

I wouldn't be offended but I would be concerned about the person wearing them. I get the impression from the thread that this is a thing in some places, but it's not around here so if I saw someone out in pyjamas in the middle of the day (rather than obviously nipping in for emergency nappies or something) I'd worry they were having mental health issues. One of the first signs of my aunt having a relapse is she started turning up places not properly dressed so that's my automatic response.

Maybe it comes from the glamorous pictures of stars and brights getting their hair and makeup done?

I do have pictures like that from my wedding... (well, I did my own makeup... but anyhow). But that just isn't the same. It looks ... weird.

The new Irish dancing wigs... well, they look kind of fascinating imo, tbh!

A cousin of mine does Irish dancing (she's actually Italian) and performed at our wedding (it was a surprise and MIL was so very very cross'!!). she wasn't wearing a crazy wig. But a very sparkly dress!

Why was MIL very, very cross at the sparkly Italian dancing a jig?

I live in Liverpool and when my sister comes to visit she loves seeing people in their rollers and onesies. Only done it once years ago, in a middle of the night emergency run (probably for teething gel or something similar!), but I can't see why anyone would care. I can't see any hygiene difference between jammies and pulling on a trackie or leggings.

didnitoah dancing!

Irish dancing!! Yes I used to. Knackered my knees and got fed up of going to the pub in my rollers
