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

You should wait an hour after eating to clean your teeth, otherwise you damage your tooth enamel. Twice a day brushing, first thing in the morning and last thing at night, is recommended by dentists.

So you and your family only worry about yourselves? I think that’s the entire point.

And it s bollocks. You’d no more ignore the person going to breakfast naked or in racy underwear or tatty t shirt and pants than anyone else. Why are any of those more inappropriate if other people are “minding their own business”..

It’s actually a bit of a worry the amount of people claiming they don’t notice stuff. They wouldn’t make very good witnesses if a crime was committed, no point in an identity parade. 😂

Premier Inn

I would 100% judge anyone who did this. It's pure laziness and proper trampy.
It takes a minute to put on proper clothes, no excuse. Even if you haven't showered, at least put on some jeans and a top!

Maybe it was deleted because it was a daft post and has no basis in fact and, on top of that it is offensive to trot it out as having anything to do with the Holocaust, which is what you are essentially saying.

No one's life was saved because someone said "fuck you" to the norms and wore their pj's to breakfast in a Hilton.

Yeah, playing fast and loose with the word ‘interesting’ there, @PurplePixies

Apart from once, I don't think I've ever stayed in a hotel with room service. None of the others had it. The exception was a work trip, with their card attached to the room, so no room service there either.

So now we know it’s a Premier Inn, does that change anything? 🤔

No

No. We stay in Premier Inns multiple times a year and have never seen people at breakfast in their pyjamas.

Obviously PIs aren't high end hotels, so I think that tells me that it's incredibly unusual to do this. Thankfully.

I would judge someone doing this, and I wouldn't want to eat my breakfast alongside people who think this is ok.

Agree, which is why I didn't mention it in original posting , until asked

I think it might have been useful info yesterday as nobody knew if you were talking 5* hotel or what. 🤷‍♀️

Totally inappropriate.

But disagree with pp : "surprised the hotel allowed it." How can hotel stop it other being so posh a hotel that they specify / having written rules. Even then many pyjamas look similar to joggers and a top.

I’ve never seen anyone in pjs at a hotel breakfast either. I’ve stated in Premier Inns but can’t remember having breakfast at them.

Personally I wouldn't do it (unless I had a banging body and looked incredible in anything) but I kept my kids in their pjs when we were away a few weeks ago.
It was a game changer. Both under 5. Both messy eaters and both wanted Nutella pancakes for breakfast. It meant I wasn't stressing about it being all over their clothes that they were to wear for the full day.

😁
I always imagine being the disappointed friend or colleague of a not noticer, waiting for a compliment on freshly coiffed hair or a new outfit.

Meanwhile, in the real world - unless you’re a dull-minded robot, you observe, notice and form an internal opinion about things all the time. Literally - all the time
This hits the nail on the head.

The idea that some people go through life never noticing when people are obviously doing something outside of social norms is funny.

The rest of us will notice, have a thought about it, and get on with our day

It doesn't matter does it? They were being judged on their actions.

If your nightwear looks like daywear then it’s not going to worry anyone. People literally won’t know.
If it looks like pyjamas then staff can just have a quiet word and say that guests in nightwear can take their breakfast back to their rooms but they need to be dressed to eat downstairs. Same as people who are disturbing others through volume ir conversation you don’t need to write out every social convention.

@LolaSmiles - some people fancy themselves operating on a higher echelon than the rest of us, noticing only architecture, mermaids and hand-woven centaurs. Not scuzzers in pyjamas.

Yes I agree, no pjs approving at any hotel IMO but even more eyebrow raising if a 5* place IYKWIM. Also no idea if PI do room service.

1. you said "having sex". Plus I'm not sure how you think "secretions" are going to get on the croissants anyway.

2. most people do those things whilst awake. Close to all I would think actually. Probably in private but still doing them whilst fully clothed. I would also hazard a guess that most people will go to the toilet on waking and then wash their hands (although given the "wash your hands! Fuss over Covid This may not be the case, pyjamas or not).

in conclusion, people are basically walking Petri dishes regardless of what they are wearing.

Some of the reasons put forward are simply ridiculous since they also apply to ordinary clothing. Trying to make out that PJ are inherently "vile" or "grim" is, quite frankly, bonkers.

We are all just walking, talking lumps of bacteria and parasites.

I try to not to think about it too much.
