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

If they were that tired and still asleep at 9am I'd just let them sleep I think. DH and i could have gone down to breakfast (fully dressed!) separately if need be or abandon breakfast altogether and go out for an early lunch when everyone's awake and ready.

No way I'd be missing the breakfast buffet! 1 - it's delicious. 2 - I've already paid for it. 3 - it keeps us going long enough to skip lunch then she an early tea. We go as late as possible to facilitate a lie in but not so late nothing is left or we're being g rushed. I'd never bother with showering first I'd rather get fresh and put clean clothes on after the greasy meal

I’d rather miss it than wake exhausted children up in order to go down there.

@Iwantmyoldnameback Leaving them in a room WITHOUT Breakfast, you mean?

They wouldn’t have been WITHOUT breakfast because they would have been asleep.

If need be I could have gone for breakfast then when I got back DH could have gone.

But this hypothetical scenario never happened to us, ours were always up and ready for breakfast. In our clothes.

I wouldn't do it myself, but wouldn't get upset if other people do. It's rather chavvy though, IMO. Though I have had lunch in a dressing gown at a spa hotel. Everyone else was the same though.

I think the hotel should have dealt with it but yes, inappropriate.

Really slobby behaviour and unhygienic imo. I think it says a lot about the people who do it!

Not everyone sweats at night in fact I’m always freezing cold so hardly ever sweat, have you got a problem with that. My cleaner changes all beds twice a week so I don’t even have to think about it. But thanks for your comment and I’m glad I’ve entertained you.

Another let’s all look down on and disgrace others post… 🙄🥱

I personally wouldn't do it, but I certainly wouldn't be telling anyone else what to do.

Dress for dinner - yes. Breakfast on holiday? So long as the clothes are not embarrassingly revealing, then pyjamas or day-clothes are OK.

I wouldn’t do it myself but I think you are being unreasonable to think it’s any of your business. As long as they aren’t naked I don’t see why it’s worth getting judgemental about.

Who are these mythical beasts children who are still asleep at 9am on a holiday?!

I can’t even fathom this, never mind how late they went to bed.

If this unlikely scenario did present itself, DH and I would likewise take turns to go down and have breakfast.

Just get dressed, and no-one will be ‘disgracing’ you.

Such an odd post. If you don’t want to be ‘looked down on’ or ‘disgraced’, don’t behave inappropriately.

If you don’t care about whether or not you’re behaving inappropriately, then you also won’t care if people are looking down on, or disgracing you.

I think it's slovenly and I would hate it. Ugh! I wouldn't want to stay in a hotel that allowed it. They are unlikely to be particularly fresh, straight from their beds. Acceptable in young children but not adults.

I’d judge them to be lazy oafs, still covered in layers of sleep, dried c¥m, dried dribble…
But then what can you do? I’d probably giggle with DP at them, and they’d be our enjoyment for as long as our dining paths crossed.
Mind you, even after a shower and fresh set of clothes I still look shocking.

So long as anything necessary is covered, it wouldn’t bother me at all!
Not sure if this is better or worse, last time I stayed in a hotel I did get dressed before going to breakfast (albeit just comfy leggings and a jumper) but didn’t brush my teeth until after 🤷‍♀️ (I always grew up brushing them after breakfast, and I hate the feeling of eating or drinking for about an hour after anyway).

So what would be the issue with bring naked?

The only reason really is ‘etiquette’ and public expectation and culture.

Everyone has a body, we all know what they look like.

The issue is the same one as entering a public space in your nightwear, really.

Etiquette, manners, cultural expectation.

Naked is absolutely fine. Nobody will notice and it’s none of anyone else’s business anyway apparently 😆

doesn't AFFect* me in any way

This is exactly the point I made upthread!

Why isn’t naked OK? But pyjamas are.

Nobody cares to explain that.

Because, knowing the general public, someone would somehow manage to get their pubic hair into the bowl of jam.

And cleaning the upholstery would be quite expensive, I suspect.

Nudist places manage, but I understand they all use towels to sit on.

It screams chav

Why do they need to have brushed their hair to have breakfast? It's may not be your way, but it's theirs - they aren't hurting anyone, what's the problem.
