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 think it's incredibly lazy, and a bit pathetic

^^ This.

And also the wearer of the pyjamas wants to look coool and right on. When in fact they just look daft and twattish.

I was in a Asda and there was a girl in there (possibly 20's) with fluffy check pyjamas, slippers and a minion dressing gown on. She was floating about flirting with the security guard on the door and acting like an idiot, I just found her laughable and skanky. I imagine she thought she looked the biz.

She didn't.

DS has a part time job in a fast food restaurant and some nights he finishes around midnight and I pick him up from work in my pj's and I feel really dirty being out in them

I'm not offended, each to their own but I wouldn't do it - takes everything I've got to answer the door to the postman in my pj's!

Tbh I don't think the wearer of the pyjamas thinks anything, other than can't be arsed to put trousers on!

Wow i am so amazed at how many people are so judgy and downright horrible about this. So many nasty and negative comments you know there could be a million reasons why people are shopping in their pjs.

I thinks it looks stupid. Plus is manky as, presumably they've slept in them - not got up, showered and put on a fresh pair. How long does it take to change into leggings and jumper (and underwear!) fgs!

I'll confess to having done the school run (in the car) with my coat on over my pj's if I knew I was coming straight home for a shower but I'd never have walked about in them in public (and lived in dread of having an accident and the paramedics seeing me in them!)

Don't mind answering the door in them, unless it's the middle of the afternoon!

I find it hard to believe that people actually care about it. If you think it's lazy then don't do it- but why all the judgement on others? I personally wouldn't wear pyjamas to the shop but people are free to wear what they like. I also don't know why people assume pyjamas are more dirty than someone's clothes- we have no idea when any of it was last washed.

You clearly haven't spent much time in America then People wouldn't bat an eyelash at that level of undress. Uni students turn it unto an artform.

i guess a business will do what it thinks it commercially best. Right now the objections about 'shoppers in pyjamas' (which would be a good channel 5 reality show!) are not quite worth introducing a dress code, but the balance could tip.

I have never seen it IRL, except a teenager in a onesie at Waitrose which seemed perfectly reasonable.

Hygiene wise, there are probably many people in PJs or dressing gowns who would be cleaner and better behaved that some of those who are dressed.

I don't care. I don't own much nightwear (hospital use only chez Zippy) and I wouldn't wear jammies to go shopping if I had any, but if someone else does, then so what?
For a long period of time I used to go shopping in my slippers. I was aware that I was judged for it, but I didn't have any shoes and I could either (just) afford to buy food or I could buy shoes. I like eating more, so the slippers stayed on! If all I know about a person is that they are wearing their pyjamas, that really isn't enough for me to form any sort of opinion about them, even if I cared.

What reasons rhubarb?

Pictish I can explain- because nightwear is for night time and you get dressed in the day. I don't want to people in their PJs anymore than I do in their swimsuits or mankinis

I always think, 'ah, future nobel prize winning physicist, up all night doing experiments, probably needs a quick break to get some food.'

What if it is nighttime though Train?

PJs seem to be a modern obsession.

It starts at school with PJ days, 'Oh what a laugh!'...yawn...

So if we are encouraging this in school children how come we are criticising people when they decide to continue dressing this way?

It's things like this that truly bring out the real Mumsnet. Snobby, judging, 'not in my back garden', pearl clutching, can't-mind-their-own-business types. Can't fathom for a second how someone could possibly do or behave in a way they never would. I'd love to follow half the people on this thread for a day, wait for them to do something wrong, lazy or 'chavvy', so I could slowly shake my head in a patronising way, and mutter 'the state of her' under my breath.

It's attention seeking. Must say though, you don't get it in Sainsburys.

It's not attention seeking! Sheesh. I've done it a handful of times - at night when I've realised I've forgotten something and nipped out and trust me I have NOT been thinking 'ooh I want everyone to look at me!'

I often wonder if pyjama shoppers or school runners are struggling to function. Alcoholism, drug problems, depression... I have a friend with mental health issues and pjs on the school run are often an early sign life is spiralling out of control again.

By nighttime I mean when you are in bed

chavvy and lazy, how long does it take to get dressed ?

But they are chavvy. Dog rough, usually. Absolute scrotes.

Nobody with an ounce of decency goes out in PJs, do they?

I'm not talking about wearing yoga pants with a fleece and trainers, or a coat over a PJ top (though I'd never do it.)

I'm talking about dressing gowns, slippers, the whole nine yards.

I've never seen it in a respectable area. And I've never seen someone who wasn't a total chav do it.

Trainspotting but why do you care if someone wears nightclothes during the day? No one is stopping you from getting dressed.

It's noticeable on threads like this just how people judge others on what they wear. I am currently pregnant and after spending the last 20 weeks or so throwing up numerous times a day sometimes I don't look 100%. I wonder how many judgemental people are thinking how chavvy, dirty or cheap I am because I am not conforming to other people's expectations of normal. I do manage jeans or joggers but I admit I have gone braless or with messy hair as it is just too hard sometimes.

I've done it once on the way to the hospital , black and white bottoms with blood on them and all sorts.

The twat driving me insisted I get out and pay for petrol or they wouldn't drive me any further .. I'm hoping no one really noticed what I was wearing!

New mothers that are sleep deprived and probably dont fit into any of their pre pregnancy clothes but materniry wear is too big? Someone that feels rough and cba with putting on clothing that often feels uncomfortable when your ill? A pp said when she had no other trousers that were dry she wore pj bottoms. Ill add more when i can think.

A quick question to everyone is only adults dressed in pjs in the shops you have a problem with or if a toddler was dressed in pjs would it still offend you?
