Shopping in pyjamas

[radiateforme]

I know, this has been done to death, but just went to the supermarket and saw a full family out shopping in their pyjamas. It's the first time I've actually seen a fully grown adult out in a full set of pj's (dressing gown, pyjama top, pyjama bottoms, fluffy socks and sliders). More curious to know exactly why people find this so unacceptable, because essentially they are just clothes. For me it is just slovenly and lazy. But maybe I'm being too judgemental. Opinions?

@KarmaStar

I walked the dog late at night in my nightie and coat many a time, crocs on my feet but no way would I go into a shop, so different

I feel bad enough answering the door to the postie in my pyjamas and dressing gown, no way could I go to the supermarket like that!!

@ViciousJackdaw

as someone said up thread, they are too depressed to care, I think your comment is quite cruel

Not all of them. Some are just dirty bastards.

I despair, I really do

@Armi

I hate it, too. But then I’m one of those tiresome people who think you should only wear pyjamas when you’re in bed. I’m always fascinated by younger colleagues who leave work, go the gym to maintain their Olympic standards of fitness (when it’s open) then are in their pyjamas on the sofa from 6pm onwards, eating Pringles.

But that makes sense. They'll have to wash their work clothes and their gym clothes. If they have a shower when they get home from the gym then why not change into pyjamas afterwards?

As for the Pringles - they want to eat them and go the gym to pay the price. Not sure what you're arguing about here.

As long as folk aren’t strutting about naked
I used to live near the seaside and the local supermarket had signs saying (I may be paraphrasing here): Please wear clothes and don't dangle your bits in the fresh produce you absolute animals

@Candlesinthewind

And why not? Next step is just underwear? It’s no worse/better than a bikini/budgie smuggler on the beach. And actually, they should burp and fart as they go - ffs it’s not illegal. You are being very judgmental. Get out there tomorrow in your jimjams - have a fart or two - stand in your power!

Why are you being so defensive? It is odd to wear pyjamas to the supermarket. That's why the OP posted about it. Absolutely no-one does that round here.

You are more likely to see people wearing riding gear and boots than anything else where I live.

I’m in bed right now in my bed wear. Black bottoms, black top.

I could wear this to the shop tomorrow and no one would know.

In fact, just to fuck wit the heads of the massive judgey pants people, I might,

We’re amongst you, judgey dudes. We might be picking up frozen peas right next to you. Stealth PJ ninjas.

Would you also wear slippers and a dressing gown @SmileEachDay?

I don’t own a dressing gown, but I have some boots which could easily be mistaken for slipper boots sooo....🤷🏻‍♀️

Pfft if I've gotten showered when I am able to grab one and changed into my Jim jams and then suddenly need to go to the shop I'm not changing for the occasion. They're clothes. They cover me sufficiently.
I don't leave the house in something I've slept in. I am not unwashed or unclean. And I take my PJs off before getting into bed, usually.

I used to work in Sainsbury's and once saw someone come in, in their pjs, they proceeded to set up a table and chair, table cloth the works, get a bowl, spoon, milk and rice crispies our of their bag and pour themselves a bowl of cereal. All in the entrance just next to the lottery kiosk! Security did move him on but they absolutely waited longer than necessary, think they were curious to see what he would do next

@SmileEachDay - but 'bedwear' isn't necessarily pyjamas, is it? Lots of clothes are like pyjamas and can be worn as such, but many pyjamas are not like clothes. Also, boots that 'could easily be mistaken for slipper boots' aren't slippers, are they? You sound like a bit of a try-hard. Wearing clothes and shoes that could pass for pyjamas and slippers really isn't the same as wearing pyjamas and slippers that cannot pass for clothes and shoes.

You can be comfortable in clothes. You don’t need to get into your nightwear at 6pm!
Ooh I love getting in the bath/ shower then putting PJ's on at 6pm!

You sound like a bit of a try-hard

Or, you know, someone taking the piss out of those who are overly concerned about other people’s clothes 🤷🏻‍♀️

@HollowTalk

I suppose I think it’s a sad state of affairs when (in non-Covid times) young, marvellously fit and generally likeable people have nothing more interesting to do than sit in their pyjamas from 6pm, watching the telly. In my day we were all out at the pub, socialising, every night and hardly ever made it into our pyjamas before going back to work. Even if we had a night in, we would stay dressed in case someone came to the door or a friend phoned to suggest going out. I suppose it’s a whole other thread to the minging slobs who go to the shops in their pyjamas.

I think it's a bit of a sad state of affairs needing to be out at the pub drinking to that extent. Each to their own though, eh.

Its bizarre. I was walking to work back in January (very cold weather) and passed a guy at the hole in the wall outside a grocers shop. He was quite noticeable because he was wearing a bright purple fluffy dressing gown, knee length, with flip flops. At first I assumed he was in the car parked outside and had popped out to get money. But no, the car drove away. I guess he had walked there. Strange. I really liked his dressing gown .

I find it sad that in your day you didn't like your partner enough to sit with them from 6pm and needed to be in a pub. I also find it sad that you needed to be dressed in case people came to the house.
I've spent many an evening say in pyjamas with friends and family.

@ladygindiva My 20 year old self is, of course, utterly excoriated by your remarks and wishes fervently she had stayed at home sipping water instead. In her pyjamas. From 5pm.

Yes as someone said up thread, they are too depressed to care, I think your comment is quite cruel.

Yeah, some of the comments here are awful. As someone who is too low to give a shit enough about my appearance , I am taking all of your shitty comments on board. Thank you. Not.

I think it’s pretty foul to receive visitors in a state of deshabille, but if your family are used to slopping around in that sort of state, carry on. I know I have more self respect than to entertain visitors without being properly dressed and my relatives would think I was ill if I answered the door in my pyjamas.

It really was such a fun time. More fun even than Netflix. Imagine!

No, no, no.. Bed needs to stay clean and you change out of your dirty daytime clothes before getting in. It's also just plain wrong to go out in your pyjamas. Where is common sense and decency?!

This doesn't happen in Waitrose dahling!

My self respect doesn’t depend on what I’m wearing, but you do you!!

Kudos for deshabille though most people’s pyjamas couldn’t be described like that.
