The whole dressing gown in the supermarket thing

It's bad enough to see people going to their corner shop in a dressing gown at 9pm. But it's a busy Sunday afternoon and I shit you not there's a woman strolling around our massive local supermarket (in fact shopping park) ... in a onesie.

What the fuck is wrong with people?!

There's nothing like a stroll round Waitrose on a saturday morning while i'm dressed in a floral quilted button up dressing gown over a nice floor length pink wincyette nightie. With matching floral slippers of course.
Naturally, when i am dead heading my roses on an evening i tend to wear a flowing floral kaftan and a hair turban.

One has standards.

If you bother putting fresh and clean pyjamas, why can't you just put ...clothes?

Since when are clothes so uncomfortable that you must remove them as soon as you step in? We are not in prison, surely there's enough choices (and SIZES) that you can find comfortable garments that would stay comfortable all day!

Even my workwear is comfortable, I do change because of the cost and most of them are dry-clean only which is a pain, but I don't get people who seem to spend the day tortured in clothes they have chosen.

It's puzzling.

My opinion on your comment is unaltered.

There was a lady in asda in a fluffy dressing gown and slippers at 3pm last week (Wednesday I think) security asked her to leave and return in daywear!

I don't dress for comfort, not all clothes are comfortable. I like to shower when I get home and I'm not going to put another set of clothes on just for a couple of hours. If I need to go to the shop, then I go in my pyjamas.

so either you go to bed wearing pjs that are also used as daywear ,and it's very grim
or you don't wear them in bed, and it makes no difference if you have clean pjs or clean clothes on Grin

XXVaginaAndAUterus · 10/06/2019 10:35

My PJs are DEFINITELY not less hygienic than the clothes I wear in the daytime to walk my dog, muck out my horses, and work in a lab, in 😂

Frownette · 10/06/2019 10:36

I don't know, I've gone to the shops in my dressing gown at night when I've remembered I've forgotten something but I've just pulled on jeans underneath and my dressing gown is a short cotton black one anyway so when it's belted it looks like I'm into martial arts.

People and their onesies do make me smile a bit

Sagradafamiliar · 10/06/2019 10:37

Thrilled for you, sooty 👍

JacquesHammer · 10/06/2019 10:41

I mean I could have put jeans or formal trousers or leggins on....given they'd only have gone over one leg I imagine the alternative of wearing clean PJ bottoms was preferable.

XXVaginaAndAUterus · 10/06/2019 10:42

I'm more judgey of the people saying things Like "they're causing actual pain to my eyeballs looking at them" than I am of what other people are wearing. Get a grip on yourself and realise you'd be happier if you stopped giving a shit what other people wear to the supermarket, and that it's in your power to do so.

Also, the people who manhandle fresh cooked bakery things and squish fruit and veg then don't buy them 😣

Lemonlady22 · 10/06/2019 10:43

I work in a local shop, there are a few people that come in in their dressing gowns/onsies (men and women). They usually smell of weed and buy chocolate and crisps and wine, beer or cola when they should be buying soap, shampoo, deodorant, washing powder etc...dont think any of them work tbh

Stumpedasatree · 10/06/2019 10:45

Grim. And lazy. In my opinion.

If you shower to feel clean once you get in, how are you clean once you come back if you wear your nightwear outside? Surely that would make your bed dirty. Or your sofa.

Pinkyyy · 10/06/2019 10:51

I don't sleep in my pyjamas, sorry didn't know that would be relevant 😂

@Tempnc12 what a lovely person you are.

ilovesooty · 10/06/2019 10:56

@Temnc12

Namechangers like you who change names just to spew that kind of bile are despicable and deserve to be banned.

ilovesooty · 10/06/2019 10:57

@Tempnc12 sorry.

JacquesHammer · 10/06/2019 10:58

Lower class scum, be happy it's easy to identify them so you can stay away and when you see them at the school gates you can make sure your kids don't mingle with them and their kids

You're just not very bright are you? It would probably help you in the long run if you did something to hid it...HTH

Only if you're convinced that you'll get contaminated by being in the outside world and that your home is a sterile bubble?!

ok, so now its normal and hygienic to wear your clothes in bed GrinGrinGrin

tillytoodles1 · 10/06/2019 11:32

I've just come back from my daughter's house in my PJ's. I was in the car though.

Pinkyyy · 10/06/2019 11:33

@Tempnc12 I'm not lower class. But feel free to stay far away.

TheDeflector · 10/06/2019 11:36

why do you have them at all then? Why not just have the courage of your convictions to disavow social norms go to bed in your jeans/joggers whatever at the end of the day

I have them because they're thinner and easier to get on. When you're disabled, jeans are too difficult to button and zip and joggers are too thick. HTH.

It doesn’t take long to take a quick shower or have a quick wash and shove some clothes on does it

Showering usually takes me over an hour, hair drying same again, getting dressed, could be the same depending on if I'm alone or with a carer, then there's the hour I need to recover afterwards because the hot water/movement makes me body give up for a bit. So it can take me four hours easily to have a "quick shower".
