To laugh at the thought of the woman in laundrette yesterday?

[crunchymint]

She was wearing pyjamas, dressing gown and big fluffy slippers. And doing two washing machine loads of clothes. I did find it funny, but was amazed that she was brave enough to do this.

Well she was comfy and she got her laundry done. Winning!

I'd assume everything else was dirty. Far better to wear clean nightwear than dirty day wear.

Meh.

Used to see plenty of men with nowt but a laundry bag around their bits waiting for their clothes to finish swishing.

Not criticising her. And I have never seen anything like this before.

The launderette covers a posh bit of town as well.

Many years ago worked as a waitress in a hotel for several years,in all that time only one couple came down to breakfast in their night attire,him with pyjamas,slippers and a dressing gown,his companion in a very small babydoll nightie and fluffy mules.
She was very confident and was up and down to the cold buffet,bearing all and didn't turn a hair😊

Are you still laughing at the thought of this a day later? Really?

Probably, GnotherGnu, some people have a sense of humour

I hear you op, I'd probably still be laughing too. I saw a woman out to get a takeaway at a parade of shops about 4 months ago, pyjamas, fluffy pink dressing gown with white stars on and white fluffy slippers. She looked an utter twat.and I'm fairly sure felt one by the look on her face as people turned to stare. Even if she'd shoved a coat and a pair of shoes on no one would have noticed, but the dressing gown and slippers was ridiculous.🤣

KarmaStar - that is outrageous! In what world would you even consider that normal? Surely when the lift doors open and all the eyebrows raise you realise you might have made a mistake!

It's a regular occurance here to go to the supermarket/laundrette/nail bar/McDonalds/hairdressers/pick the kids up in pyjamas, dressing own and slippers. When it was very cold a hot water bottle with animal cover was the 'in' accessory. There's a parent at school who I have never seen with actual clothes, I see her a lot and she is always in character pj's and a dressing gown.
I used to be bemused but am indifferent now.

queen where the heck do you live?!

Does she wear makeup notso? At dc’s old school that seemed to be a trend of dropping dc’s off in dressing gown, silky jammies and fluffy slippers. But with a full face of heavy makeup and hair in mahoosive curlers.

Just after ten am I encountered a woman in dressing gown, pyjamas and slippers walking her dog in Ascot High St. it wasn’t a one off either as I saw her again.

I've moved now, but this was in Bath.

There is/was a launderette on London Road with a fancy dress shop next door. I worked in the fancy dress shop. Lots of travelling menfolk did their laundry there.

Brought clothes in a black bag, removed clothes they were wearing, made black bag into a kind of skirt, washed all of their clothes.

Saw it weekly at least.

DGRossetti. You beat me to it. But there’s always this version:

So the Nick Kamen (IIRC) advert was quite correct then!!!

Debrett's appears to be silent on appropriate dress code for laundrettes.
Suggestions please OP?

Alternatively ....

I met a woman at Tescos. She was storming round the aisles in a shaggy, cream colour onsies that was very close fitting. She looked like an angry cream puff. No one dared take asecond look as she appeared enraged and likely to explode.

Is than an anecdote, or a Pulp song

Opps, posted too fast

Was she looking for sausages?
