Aibu to not let DP wear pyjamas to the supermarket?

[PenSylvester]

They are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle "lounge pants". He wants to wear them to ASDA. I said no. He says I'm bu. I'm not, am I?

Fine as long as he wants to go by himself and look like a twat. Not ok if he expects you to go with him and look like a prat by proxy.

Only ok if you can go in your wonderwoman onsie.

Op, you played this all wrong! You missed an opportunity to get out of the Sunday supermarket shopping drudgery

He sounds like a knob

Definitely not. I work in retail and would massively judge.

"Obviously the "let" thing was a joke."

Actually I don't think it was remotely obvious.

What did you actually want from this thread? Ammo for a show down with DP? Examples of appalling clothes seen in supermarkets? Plain bunfight about which Ninja is best? Erudite diversion into (snicker-proof) clothes themed to the works of Old Masters? Class warfare?

DH does this (although his are plain, so slightly less obvious). Drives me nuts, but no amount of pointing that out helps. He thinks IABU. I feel your pain. (He doesn't also spend the day in the t shirt he slept in, does he?)

It wasn't obvious at all.

I think I would have to follow him and have a snigger at the same time.

They're common? Really?

Maybe they've run out of laundry detergent and have no clean clothes. Maybe they have chronic fatigue and it was a choice between getting dressed and buying food. Maybe they care more about being comfortable than what judgemental strangers think?

I would totally wear lounge pants in public if people weren't such dicks about it. Maybe not TMNT ones though...

Is this really your partner and not your son? It's not a typo?

I wore my lounge wear to ASDA today, grey leggings and a slouchy grey jumper, I did put the effort in and wear a bra though!

Yanbu. I would only ever be seen with someone in top to toe Thundercats. I have STANDARDS.

I really don't see the problem with people wearing pjs in the supermarket tbh. I personally wouldn't as I wear them to bed and I want them to be clean when I go to bed and also I like to look a bit more 'put together' BUT what anyone else wants to wear doesn't really affect me. I probably wouldn't even notice tbh!

OP, these days on MN you have to sit every poster down and explain veeeerrrryyyy slowly that you're joking.

Then, if they decide it's ok for you to post it, you're good to go.

If they decide it's not funny and, crucially, that you're not allowed to think it's funny then I'm afraid it's a flogging for you.

DP is a grown-up (I hope!), so YABU to 'let' or 'not let' him do anything.

However, is DP being unreasonable for wanting to wear PJs to the supermarket? Yes, absolutely. Very slovenly.

I have TMNT and batman, superman etc etc pyjamas/loungepants they are awesome, but not for in public!

Wearing pyjamas to the supermarket is not great - they're bed clothes.

However, the comments about his age and maturity are bizarre. Why can't he like TMNT? Why can't he wear the pyjamas if he wants to, without accusations of being a child? I didn't realise that characters on clothes determined age. You'd better inform places like Primark.

FWIW, I'm a late 30s teacher and I wear pyjamas that have Disney, Super Mario, Harry Potter, unicorns etc. DH has pyjamas with Adventure Time and SpongeBob on them. They make them in adult sizes, they are for adults.

If you like something, wear it. People calling others childish for doing so have issues.

As for the comment about grown men not wearing pyjamas, that is utterly bizarre. What do they wear then? Nothing? What if they went into hospital? Or stayed at a hotel?
