Pyjamas In Hotels

CowesTwo · 11/05/2018 22:15

There was a thread recently discussing people wearing pjs in public. We just got back to our hotel and the lift stopped at the floor with the bar, the doors opened and a woman got in wearing pyjamas and slippers and carrying a bottle of wine. She seemed a bit surprised to see us in the lift and we all got off at the same floor. I wouldn’t be brave enough to go to the bar in a hotel dressed like that, but I had to admire her chutzpah. Aibu to think folk should at least throw on some clothes before appearing in public?

Yes let's all judge.
Let the woman be for goodness sakes!

I went out for a sneaky ciggie in my pjs with a bridesmaid the morning of my wedding to calm the nerves... and contemplate how ever I was going to last the rest of the day being up so early! No one was around but I wouldn't have gone down to breakfast as such... adrenalines a wonderful thing!

Can anyone tell me the difference between the two pictures I posted?

I wouldn't do it myself, preferring to wear clothes, but then I'd cringe if I had to put out/take in the bins in my dressing gown - something I've done once or twice but only at a quiet time when I wasn't expecting to bump into anyone - my excuse being that I was very ill.

Dressing gowns are a good cover-up. This lady obviously expected to make a quick trip to the bar without being seen. This never happens as there's always someone lurking about. Always.

I wouldn't do it myself but I do secretly envy people who just don't give a fuck

No midriff showing, but the top just met the top of the bottoms if you see what I mean. Not a spa.

has anyone said 'uncouth' yet? My MN bingo card is nearly full. Grin

SmileEachDay · 12/05/2018 08:21

common?

What do you mean?

mydogisthebest · 12/05/2018 08:29

I wouldn't do it and would be quite surprised if I saw someone else doing it. I did a woman recently in a shopping centre wearing pyjamas and a dressing gown. She was with a man and they just appeared to be shopping. If the centre was anywhere near a hospital I wouldn't have been so surprised but it wasn't.

I own pyjamas although I don't wear them in bed. I wear them around the house. I hate it though if someone comes to the door and I have to open it wearing them even though they are pretty smart ones

Undercoverbanana maybe she feels that her "flabby tits" are her best feature? It sounds more like double standards at your work place . your post is full of judgement of what others wear, too so....

speakout · 12/05/2018 08:36

I don't wear pyjamas at home except to sleep in.

Life is too busy- I get around 8 deliveries a day from courier companies and answering the door in my nightclothes would make me uncomfortable.
Also with a busy family and hectic schedules I am always called on to do lifts at any time of day.

I don’t think we’ve had uncouth.

The suggestion that PJ wearing whilst getting wine = alcoholism is a new one though

Moritz · 12/05/2018 08:37

If thats what not giving a fuck looks like.. desperation for booze that i go out in my pjs then i dont want it thanks.

Sparklingbrook · 12/05/2018 08:41

Desperation and alcoholism. HOUSE!

Just been down to breakfast and had a look in the bar. To get to the actual bar to order and pay you would have to weave your way around tables and chairs. We saw her at around 10.30 last night. Her pjs didn’t look like any of the pix posted.

I totally support anyone's right to wear what they like.

But to deny the impact that has is naiive.

It's all very well to be in the " I don't give a fuck " camp, but we live in a society, and wearing pyjamas in public makes a statement.

Possibly- I have MH problems- I am an attention seeker- I live a chaotic life possibly involving alcohol/.drugs.
Because this is what living in a society means.

Would you wear pyjamas to a funeral or to your child's parents evening?

If not then why not?

Sparklingbrook · 12/05/2018 08:48

Thanks Smile. Grin I have to go to work shortly so can you hold on to my dabber?

Not weaving around tables. Shock

Can you explain the difference between the two pictures I posted?

UtterlyDesperate · 12/05/2018 08:57

Personally, I wouldn't do it - but I Have Standards Grin

Sparklingbrook · 12/05/2018 08:57

I have now thought about this. If I was going to do it I would ring down to the bar, ask the barperson if they had the wine. Say I was on my way and could they meet me just outside the bar to pass it over.
Do there's a possibility the pyjama clad woman never actually entered the bar at all.

Sparklingbrook · 12/05/2018 08:58

*So

Gardai · 12/05/2018 08:58

Brilliant, so pj wearer is now an alcoholic, drug addict, mentally ill, common and attention seeking slapper with a tendency to table weave...I’m going to faint.

Sparklingbrook · 12/05/2018 08:59

I already have Gardai. I may not be able to go to work at all if I read any more.
