Pyjamas at hotel breakfast

607 replies

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?

I'm surprised workmen are allowed anywhere with their stained clothes

OH wears his filthy work clothes everywhere! He finds them more comfortable than any other clothes. Compared to them, pyjamas are high class Grin

I could not summon the energy to care about this..

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 25/10/2017 08:54

What possible other reasons could there be to do it apart from being a lazy slob?

Exactly. There are a few posters labouring under the delusion it is some sort of way of cocking a snook at convention but lazy slob covers it.

CredulousThickos · 25/10/2017 09:07

I am most definitely a lazy slob.

Happy to be one.

I have never seen anyone in their nightwear at a hotel, ever! My mind is boggled.

thebluething · 25/10/2017 09:12

I have never seen anyone in any form of pyjamas in any form of hotel - ever. If you can't be bothered to get dressed, that's what room service is for, surely.

Nousernamefound · 25/10/2017 09:59

Maybe they had a larger domestic emergency and had to leave in just their PJs

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 25/10/2017 10:05

I manage to get dressed, put some lipstick on and smile at my children. In fact I manage it every day. It's really not that hard you know.

Did you also manage to get through the day without sneering at other and letting everyone know how wonderful you are? I suspect that would be more of an achievement tbh.

motherinferior · 25/10/2017 10:16

What I find quite extraordinary is that if someone suggests it might be valid to object to something like voting habits or political beliefs or environmentally destructive practices there is an outcry of HOW DARE YOU BE SO JUDGEY YOU FRIGHTFUL INTOLERANT PERSON. Yet pyjamas and feet stir feelings of overwhelming distaste.

Yaley · 25/10/2017 10:26

Hilarious hearing how hard people find it to stick their limbs into clothes in the morning! As for sticking their kids into clothes - forget about it!

TheOtherGirl · 25/10/2017 10:40

How low must your bar be set if you think being able to get dressed, wear lipstick and smile at your children every day is somehow 'wonderful' Grin

Frege · 25/10/2017 11:21

Utterly grim.

I think in reality we all know that we get our judgey pants on for different things.

It's just some people like to come online and act all virtuous like they are so enlightened that they don't judge at all which is obviously total bollocks because everyone does

RhiannonOHara · 25/10/2017 11:39

I am intrigued by the heavy use of words like 'grim', 'stink', 'minging' etc about this issue.

Maybe I'm just very lucky, but I've never come across anyone that smelly. Or any PJs that smelly.

upperlimit · 25/10/2017 12:12

People can be judgy over all sorts of things, yes. What I find interesting is how people create such spectacular narratives of superiority around such trivia.

MasterofKittens · 25/10/2017 12:15

ScribbleGirl I do that too!😊😊

Frege · 25/10/2017 12:26

Rhiannon, for me it's not the smelliness, it's more general. I feel about pyjamas at a hotel breakfast much as I would about someone picking their nose or scratching their arse or hacking up a load of phlegm - it's unpleasant for others generally.

TheOtherGirl · 25/10/2017 12:49

"Cocking a snoop" I haven't heard that used in years, I love it Smile I shall use it every day from now on.

I have stayed in many, many hotels over the years and mercifully have never yet breakfasted with slobs still in their jimjams.

MrsHathaway · 25/10/2017 12:50

I think I'm the only one on this thread who really really likes a hotel breakfast and considers it well worth getting dressed for!

It’s sad you think you need lipstick as an essential.

RhiannonOHara · 25/10/2017 12:54

No, OK, Frege, I was talking about those posts that DO refer to 'smelliness' etc.

TheOtherGirl · 25/10/2017 13:02

silver well no I don't consider lippy as an essential. I'm not wearing any today as an example. I was using wearing lipstick as a symbol for making a vague effort with your appearance. I could as easily said 'wearing deodorant' etc.

But even so I don't think it 'sad' to wear lipstick. Wearing a bright lippy always cheers me up Smile

FindoGask · 25/10/2017 13:22

TheOtherGirl don't say cock a snoop because that doesn't mean anything! The phrase is 'cock a snook' which admittedly isn't hugely self-explanatory, but that's what it is anyway.

southeastdweller · 25/10/2017 13:30

Oh no, the spelling police are out...

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 25/10/2017 13:44

I am not the one who feels the need to share with others that I do those things. Even more to the point I don't feel the need to share that I do those things in order to try and make others feel small
