Pyjamas at hotel breakfast

[flyingpigsinclover]

We were staying overnight in a hotel last night (after a small domestic emergency so had left the house in a hurry), over breakfast this morning a family of five came down for breakfast with all the children in pyjamas and dressing gowns and barefoot. they were aged about eight to fifteen or so.

Aibu to think that this is not really acceptable?

And stop this over egging about " disgusting" .

It is not the clothes which are disgusting. It is the arrogant attitude that societal conventions which just make things more pleasant for everyone don't apply to you and your family.

Love the flamingoes

Depends on the hotel.
If it's mainly corporate guests and it's midweek then no, it's not that type of establishment. If it's a leisure hotel where the typical guests are tourists or on a retreat then it's far more acceptable.
But for hygiene and H&S reasons they would not be allowed in the restaurant without shoes on. I'm a hotel manager and I can confirm I have literally seen someone press the hot water pump without a cup under, barefooted, and kicked off because they burnt their foot.

But it wouldn’t actually affect you then? Would you be out of your breakfast and have to retreat back to your room?
Of course she wouldn’t look disgusting she’s wearing a pink fluffy jumper and grey leggings with flamingos on, she’s covered.

But come on people just put in some clothes I mean why not!

@LassWiTheDelicateAir

What is she was wearing this?
These are clothes marketed as outdoor clothes. I bought them for her for a Halloween party but she will be wearing them as pyjamas afterwards.
What’s the difference?
Both just patterned leggings and comfy top

The only way this thread could be improved upon is if one of them went out for cigarette during the meal.

Can you imagine the Godforsaken, foul, sweaty, unwashed, dribble-infested stench of people in pyjamas then?.

This thread makes me want to go down to breakfast in my nightwear next time i am in the hotel.

Go ahead, brasty, word has it that nobody who is anybody will actual notice you

I actually couldn't do it. When we are away with friends, they will come down to breakfast in a villa in pyjamas. I just can't. I have to get dressed properly.

That’s not cool-I’m not saying when I roll up to the hotel breakfast I’m immaculate but I always have clothes on. It takes no time at all!

A mix of guests, some families and some business men having meetings.

That is dirty and disrespectful to the other guests

Er no it isn't

Its probably not "culturally" what we do in the UK in hotels but your hardly going to catch a disease and although I've been brought up to have shower/put on clothes I wouldn't be bothered by what someone else chooses to wear.

You need to worry about more important things!

Ginexplorer, in which culture is it acceptable to wear your pyjamas to a hotel breakfast?

@RhiannonOHara

Same to you

What about if you've slept in your clothes? We recently stayed in a youth hostel and I wore the leggings and t shirt to bed that I'd worn that day. I got up desperate for coffee and porridge (no kettle in room) so went down like that. Oh and with fluffy socks. And sandals. H and S first :-)

I might think it is a tad odd or attention seeking but it certainly isn't grim, intimate or rank

As a child our childminder used to go all catsbumface about us eating breakfast in our jammies in the summer holidays. It is very unhygienic; apparently the correct etiquette that she attempted to instill within us is to stand in a basin and have a complete body wash before breakfast. Pyjamas must be changed every night too

Dontfuckingsaycheese
It'a a bit grim if I'm honest (but I have totally done that when I've been running school trips! So much easier than getting up and dressed when you're on night call) but it's just about passable in a youth hostel.

Put it this way, if someone looked at me and thought 'she looks a but scruffy' they would have been accurate.

Ginexplorer, in which culture is it acceptable to wear your pyjamas to a hotel breakfast?

Pyjamas are a cultural construction in themselves. I had a forrin colleague who wore fleece pyjamas as clothes to work. They looked most interesting under a lab coat; to her they were winter clothing and pyjamas are of the lingerie variety. We got used to it and didn't bat an eyelid after a while.

It's slobby, unnecessary and lazy behaviour. A hotel dining room is not a bedroom. Dress appropriately.

Of course she wouldn’t look disgusting she’s wearing a pink fluffy jumper and grey leggings with flamingos on, she’s covered

I don't think anyone apart from you has said she would look "disgusting" so could you please stop linking my username to that word.

As the poster above says it is slobby, unnecessary and lazy behaviour. I can't fathom the mindset of any one in a hotel who whilst being unable to spend the few minutes needed to get dressed yet can spend as much time as posters on here have done trying to justify their lazy and slobby behaviour.

Brasty,

Let's hope the 98 year-old is there too.

I agree with pp who have said this is not acceptable or appropriate.

People who think it is need to raise their standards.

I can't believe how serious this thread's got!! They're children in PJs and dressing gown...some perspective needs to be had here

The morning of my wedding I went down to have the teeniest amount of breakfast at the too pash for me hotel in my pjs with my BM who'd stayed with me the night before. I was 13 weeks pregnant, And felt like shit too.
No one batted an eyelid.
