Pyjamas at hotel breakfast

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?

do piss off southeast, I don't care about spelling, but if you're going around saying "cock a snoop" instead of "cock a snook" you'll sound like a nutter. I'm doing TheOtherGirl a favour really, and this is the thanks I get.

Its lazy, I hate to see people in their nightwear outside, there really is no need for it.

I mentioned "cocking a snook"

TheOtherGirl might have got it wrong , or imore likely , given she posted just after me, auto correct changed it to "snoop"

TheOtherGirl · 25/10/2017 14:28

Thanks Lindo but it auto corrected to snoop as I assume my phone has no idea what 'snook' means (neither do I to be fair).

TheOtherGirl · 25/10/2017 14:30

Oh Twin-set do give over love. It's not like anyone actually cares is it.

TheOtherGirl · 25/10/2017 14:33

But jaysus, really, mentioning I get dressed every day and smile at my kids every day makes others feel small??? Really? Like really?

PoppyPopcorn · 25/10/2017 14:54

I think it's really funny how people are devoting so much time and effort into justifying slobby behaviour. Yes, the family in question may have had to flee their house in the middle of the night with only the clothes they were wearing. But is that more likely that them being slobs who don't conform to any social conventions and think it's fair game to turn up to breakfast in their jammies?

The only time i've ever seen nightwear at a hotel was when the fire alarm went off at 4am.

I think it's really funny how people are devoting so much time and effort to clutching their pearls and judging.

Personally I'm always much more interested in working my way through the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet than in what other people are wearing and whether they may or may not have showered recently.

TheOtherGirl · 25/10/2017 15:41

Well I could scoff my own weight in pancakes with maple syrup at a breakfast buffet and still manage to cast a disparaging eye over a fellow guest behind me in their jimjams.

It's a gift.

RhiannonOHara · 25/10/2017 16:06

Good for you,OtherGirl. A gift indeed. I only wish I were so equipped to be so judgy.

GibbonsSleeve · 25/10/2017 16:17

I’m starving and fancy a Premier Inn breakfast now. Not with that green vileness that purports to be bubble and squeak though.

CredulousThickos · 25/10/2017 16:22

Yeah, not really a gift to be proud of.

Especially if you’re sitting there with a bad haircut, ripped jeans and terrible goblin shoes yourself. For example.

GibbonsSleeve · 25/10/2017 16:22

We did have the fire alarm go off once whilst in a hotel and had to troop out in our PJs though. It was bloody freezing but thankfully a false alarm. I had the horrors of being stuck miles from home with no clothes/shoes.

southeastdweller · 25/10/2017 17:12

Credulous has a nerve been touched? You’ve been very defensive.

TheOtherGirl · 25/10/2017 17:39

Honestly it's fine south it doesn't matter.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 25/10/2017 20:09

Why would you assume anybody looking askance at mingers wearing pj's in the hotel dining room has a bad haircut, ripped jeans and TERRIBLE GOBLIN SHOES??
What the fuck?

SoNouveau · 25/10/2017 20:50

Are they like these, peep toe Goblin shoes?

Goblin fucking shoes... Hmm. What a childish post.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 25/10/2017 21:03

CredulousThickos. Not yours, Noveau.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 25/10/2017 21:18

Those shoes could be the answer - keeping tootsies clean while simultaneously rocking the " few fucks given" vibe...

That's an awful lot of people with not enough to do.

I love people watching in hotels, especially at breakfast. It's one of my favourite things.
