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?

Chavs, skanks, dog rough and scrotes.

Does that about cover all the fucking awful sneery words being used on this thread?

I don't find it offensive, just lazy.
I don't think it is necessarily "chavvy" either.

I definitely don't think it sends a good message to children, not even being bothered to get changed, even pulling on a coat instead of a dressing gown to drop your DC off at school doesn't set the right tone to their day imo.
Going shopping in the middle of the day in full nightwear is just slovenly imo.

Not really offended. Or at least not as much as the beefy topless men with dirty trousers handling the fruit and veg with grubby hands (yuck!)

It would seem to reflect an uncaring and sloppy attitude though, which I find rather sad.

If it's OK for anyone to go about their daily business (school run, shopping etc) in PJs how as a society do we identify the people who are not coping? A mere 10 years ago if you saw someone wandering about the streets in their night clothes it was a pretty reliable sign that they needed help. People had the same problems and pressures them then but no-one would have thought of going out and about in broad daylight in PJs, if you saw someone doing it it would be a pretty good indicator of MH issues. Then along came the onesie culture and suddenly it's OK to be out about in PJs. So how do you tell if you neighbour is suffering dementia or if the school run mum is in the middle of a breakdown? I guess no one gives a about other people anymore so who cares anyway?

I'm honestly not offended.

I've never done this but Idk, I just don't really care?

Plus, if their hair and makeup is done, isn't this 'lounge wear' or something?

I'd rather get dresses than do my makeup but that are probably just personal preferences.

Agree with everyone - I'm not that offended but just think its beyond lazy and slobby. Plus honestly, I wouldn't be that keen on a bloke in his PJs... I got flashed at a lot as a teen and I'd prefer men were clothed properly.

Last time I saw a bloke in his PJs in the high street he'd escaped from a secure hospital...

Wouldn't offend me, but I'd certainly be hoiking my judgy pants.

However, this is hardly news - this "story" comes out on a regular basis over many, many years.

I would feel vulnerable, almost naked shopping in my PJs.

I wouldn't describe grown adults shopping in broad daylight in a onesie as lounge wear, they looked like they were wearing a giant babygrow!

I just think it's a bit lazy, it takes just minutes to pull on trousers and a sweater. I wear the so called unattractive but comfortable loungewear when I'm at home and would pop into the supermarket in those ut wouldn't in pyjamas

I wear pyjama bottoms and a coat to walk to my local Tesco as do many others I've seen. There's nothing wrong with it, don't you have anything more important to worry about than judging people for what they wear to go to the bloody shops?!

"if people haven't washed before going to the shop that's disgusting"

I love this and need to know more.

Am I to wash before going to Tesco? I did not know this!
How recently must I have washed before going to Tesco not to be deemed disgusting? And by 'washed' does that mean a full shower or quick going over with a cloth?
What if I mean to stop in on the way home from work? Should I go home and shower first? Seems a bit unnecessary but I'd hate to be disgusting.

Please inform.

I don't get the 'it's clothes so it's covering up so it's fine' - if you wouldn't put a ball gown on then why pjs? Clothes send out signals about who we are, whether we see ourselves as part of society, how we want to be seen. Leggings and a jumper signals casual, a ball gown signals effort and glamour, a suit for a job interview signals professional and polished. Surely pjs signal not coping, don't give a shit about yourself attitude. It goes against social convention which is why it causes outrage.

I would think someone was ill or not coping if they couldn't sling on a pair of jeans and a jumper to go to the shops.

I shop in Aldi and have never seen anyone in PJs. Nor do I go in them. Maybe a naice Aldi?

I have seen mothers a couple of times in PJs at DS's school and yes, I judged.

Saying that my uni friend used to pop to the off-licence in dressing gown and slippers. 20 years ago. Maybe she was ahead of her time?!

It's lazy and attention-seeking.

I wore PJs to my early-morning classes at university (I'm American - shoot me now). I am mortified in hindsight.

Loving the posters defending pj wear but slating fat people for daring to leave their houses in hot weather without being covered from head to toe. So you can judge those people but we darent raise an eyebrow at your slobby ways. That's fair.

I judge massively (in my head). It's not the worst thing in the world but mostly the people I see doing it look like life's kicked them in the bollocks one too many times and they just can't be arsed, which is sad.
I also judge because of -yes- standards. Raise your kids to the highest standard that you can in manners, standards, etiquette, care and respect for others, and then when they are old enough to make a decision to go to Asda in their onesie they can do so because they choose to, not because it's 'just the way they were raised.'

Middle class twits with to much time on there hands

I went to tesco last week in my Jim jams

Had v and d could just about muster enough strength to get the kids in the car and get to the chemist I had to crawl to the frigging door I was so poorly

And I was sick 3 times while getting there lucky I didn't shit myself as well but as long as I am fully dressed ay

It is a bit chavvy and gross. I'd steer clear of anyone in pjs as I feel they must smell.

But each to their own. I don't judge them. It's none of my business what they wear.

I suggest getting out of bed in the morning, having some breakfast, taking a shower, putting on some clothes and only then leaving the house.

It's not so difficult.

Also my maid of Houner went to tesco in her pjs we were all showered but waiting to get in our dresses she nipped in for safety pins

Ah there's that word chavvy again.

I am neither discusted (sic) nor outraged at PJs.

Now this, however, probably would get a face from me.

How can so many of you give a fuck about what clothes people wear to the supermarket? I could understand it if these were raunchy or highly sexualised clothes but they are not.

Pages and pages of judging. You know it isn't actually about anything other than a social construct? It goes like this:

1. invent a 'standard' to be upheld
2. some people don't meet it
3. feel better because you do

There is literally nothing more to it than that. You should be embarrassed by your social neediness. Fuck, loosen up and move on.

Passionately believe this kind of shit is the enemy of creative thinking

How is it truly gross or rank? We're not talking about shit-stained clothes or anything here. It's just a style of clothing that people tend to wear to sleep in- nothing more, nothing less. You would hate me because I sometimes pop into the supermarket straight from running, without having a shower first. That IS gross and rank, but I don't really give a shit.
