AIBU to think when staying in hotel should not go down to breakfast in pyjamas

[waltty]

Last night stayed overnight in a City Centre hotel and a family all came down to breakfast wearing their pyjamas,looking like they had all jumped out of bed , it was 9am so still had time to shower and dress before breakfast finished , AIBU to think this is not appropriate

This thread is at 11 pages with the majority agreeing with the OP. So it's hardly an odd thing to get upset about.
Or is any view that doesn't agree with yours odd?

The OP didn’t seem that upset did they? They’ve only posted once on the whole thread.

Is this a thing? I stay in hotels very frequently and have never witnessed this happening

Depressing that we might soon need little signs telling people to wear daytime clothes when they come down for breakfast. A bit like the signs telling people not to shout at staff in shops. They shouldn't be necessary but unbelievably they are. Pyjamas for breakfast is lazy, scummy behaviour. I'd unapologetically judge. I know judge is a dirty word nowadays but we need more judging imo.

Another example of people seemingly unable to adjust their behaviour in public places and behave just like they would at home. See also talking and raucous drinking in theatres and refusing to turn off phones.

I'm sat here having breakfast in a hotel right now. No one is in their PJ's and if they were, they would look very odd.

I think PJ's for breakfast is ok in a B&B, but not a big hotel.

I wouldn't do it myself, but it wouldn't bother me. I saw a fully grown man with a beard and tattoos wearing a Winnie the Pooh Oodie at the pub on a cold day in winter. He looked completely ridiculous, but I was a bit jealous, it was a bloody freezing day!

Yes PurplePixies people having standards will absolutely lead to another Hitler. 🙄

PurplePixies
I don't even know what to say to that.

Bringing up genocide to get a gotcha on a light hearted thread about some people not following social norms is really distasteful.

Of all the ridiculous posts ......

I'd be embarrassed for them. Imagine being that scruffy and not caring

YANBU I've stayed in high end and budget hotels. Everyone had managed to get dressed for breakfast. It's weird.

I would never do it but I would chuck on my clothes from the night before, and pushed a comb through my hair (I always clean my teeth as soon as I get up) so I would have looked smart but really be as unwashed as anyone.
(I am assuming we are not talking either posh hotels when evening dinner clothing would look out as out of place as pyjamas or beachy places where you wear swimwear and cover-ups)..
Not sure what I'd think if the pyjama clad crowd, very much depend on how they behaved to be honest.

There’s no way I’d do this. It takes less than 2 mins to put some trousers and a jumper on. One thing I personally hate it seeing people (usually mums) doing the school run in PJ’s or out shopping. I see one mum fairly regularly walking her kids to school in her dressing gown and slippers. It’s a main road too.

I pack leggings and a hoodie for hotel breakfasts. I wouldn't be getting up early on holiday just to shower and get dressed before breakfast.

All these equivalent examples though aren't equivalent at all as the things you and pp's have given are all things that actually impact others enjoyment. I don't get how wearing pj's impacts anyone provided they are covering the same as a pair of leggings and a t shirt might. Just a slightly different material. Personally I don't wear my pyjamas but I do stick on a our if joggers and a hoodie or maybe even (gasp) yesterdays clothes if I've packed light and don't have spares as I'll be going back to my room to shower and I'd rather then put on fresh clothes, not ones that have already been on plus have picked up all the lingering smells of a cooked breakfast. The strong reactions to what material is covering peoples skin in an informal setting such as a buffet breakfast seems really irrational to me as it has no effect on others.

I would guess that about 99% of hotels in the world do not offer room service breakfast as an option, and that those that do charge more for it, so I'm wondering if this is a stealth boast...

I reckon it's probably far more common for a hotel to not offer food at all than it is to offer breakfast in bed.

It’s really scummy and I agree with Wombat. It’s attention seeking rubbish. It’s only once happened to me. Man was wearing a vest top and shorts with clearly nothing on underneath.

Women was in a similar state. They really think they are putting two fingers up at others where in fact the majority of us assume scummy mingers. Just imagine what their houses are like!

Also attention seeking.

That is slack. Either put some clothes on - doesn’t need to be fancy, loungewear is fine - or get breakfast sent to your room.

So lounge wear vs pyjamas- what's the actual difference except from perhaps the pattern and material. People wear day clothes in a variety of patterns and materials too. The person wearing loungewear might have slept in that so it's not a cleanliness issue. How is one ok and they other isn't if they are covering the same amount of skin?

I stayed in a hotel the night before my wedding. I never felt the need to wear my PJs when I went down for my breakfast. I agree it's attention seeking. I bet the PJs had bride or something similar embroidered on them.

The same could be said of the school uniform or uniform to work in an office..
The clothing you wear sets standards in society that other people recognise.
If a policeman came to your house after your house had been robbed in a onesie I guess you would be straight on Facebook moaning about it.

We used to have social norms to living in a nice society and as can be seen they are being slowly eroded and society is worse for it.

So many arses with sticks stuck up them in this thread, it's hilarious. Much more interesting than people having breakfast in pyjamas.
