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

When I got married myself and my bridesmaids all went down to hotel breakfast on the morning of the wedding in our matching PJs. We all got up washed and dressed in the pyjamas for hair and makeup. Noone complained and the hotel staff had a great laugh with us..

Some people on here are unsufferable busybodies.

I think it should only be allowed if the same rules apply to all the hotel staff and they can come to work in their night attire? I thought this when teaching and parents used to come into school in the mornings wearing pyjamas, slippers and dressing gowns. I did get the last laugh with one serial offender. She marched out of the school building and stood in a giant dog turd in her slippers.

"What kind of person goes out in public in their nightwear?"

Tha same people that have an anti-social attitude in general.

I think some of us know the answer, but are not allowed to say it.

Blah blah

You might as well keep the PJ's on as dont they have lunch to eat later.

Although I have said up thread I think it's scummy, I did once take DD aged 4 months down to breakfast in a hotel in her babygro. She was possibly of an age where people wouldn't judge.

I'm amazed that apparently no one on MN ever goes anywhere without having had a shower in the morning - do people really stink that much in the morning? Do people really think they'll be able to smell people at another table and be affected by it? Or be able to smell their morning breath at 20 paces?? Do some people always wake up with morning breath - I just thought it was a hungover thing.

Also people take pride in different things, some people take pride in their appearance, some people just want to be as comfortable as possible. Both can be easily judged, one for being shallow and so caught up in appearances and the other for being lazy and slovenly.

I wouldn't wear pj's to breakfast because I don't wear them to bed, but I'd be jealous of people wearing them at breakfast because is there anything more comfy?

Isn’t the issue quite simply that pyjamas are for private wear.

A hotel restaurant isn’t orivate but a public place and for that reason PJs are not really the thing. It’s the same reason why they aren’t really suitable for shopping etc.

In my view, PJs are often flimsy and worn without underwear. Of course that’s fine if lunging at home or in bed. It’s not really the thing for being out in public.

The reason some people choose to wear them to public places so some kind fo 2-fingers up to decorum and a way if saying ‘I can do what I want and no-one can tell me what to do’.

As others say, getting dressed takes 2 minutes if that. No-one would care or. It’s e if you hadn’t showered or fully got yourself ready for the day, but dressing shows a little respect for others and a public place, rather than this ‘sod everyone else’ attitude.

Yeah the difference between hotel staff and guests is that the staff are being paid to work there and guests are paying to stay there.

Judgy or not but I am generally aghast that there are people who are too lazy to pull in a pair of jeans , bra and t shirt before they enter a public dining room.
Imagine their homes!

Do people really not wear underwear under their pj's?

Only seen it once and it was a big family staying over for an Orange Walk. So based on that, not surprising.

They probably hadn't stayed in a hotel before.

I don't understand how people do this. I would feel so incredibly uncomfortable in my pyjamas in public. Do they sleep in underwear or is there just that thin fabric between the world and their bits?

Bloody awful, no standards at all.

Why is everybody assuming that the people who are 'dressed' (ie in clothes rather than pyjamas) have showered or even washed?

It’s bad manners.

I'm not an early riser, especially when on holiday. I also don't have much appetite in the mornings but there's no way I'm going to miss out on hotel breakfast. So I get out of bed and put on clothes, brush hair (don't brush teeth) and leave my room. Takes ? less than 5 minutes. Have shower and everything after breakfast.

It’s grim, there’s no need.

I think its totally inappropriate but bloody hilarious, I would love to see something like that next time I'm away, as they didn't sit festering near me 🤣🤣!
We have a posh restaurant near us who does champagne breakfasts. When we have been there are always small groups of immaculate ladies in posh PJs and slippers, which made me laugh.

It amazes me how often people on MN find anti-social, unhygienic and downright unpleasant behaviour normal. Also see those rank threads where people say it’s fine to wash your kids once a fortnight with a flannel.

It’s a parallel universe on this site.

Of course it is not ok to go into a public place, where other people are eating breakfast, in your night clothes. The sweaty, possibly smelly, dirty clothes you’ve been sleeping and doing god knows what else in all night. It’s lazy, embarrassing and..yes I’ll say it - GRIM.

I don’t wear pyjamas full stop, so I wouldn’t be wearing them in a hotel.

However, I definitely don’t dress for the benefit of other people, so I wouldn’t care what YOU or anyone else is wearing.

What is sadly shocking is how narrow minded and insufferable busybodies, some people clearly are. Thank goodness, I don’t know people like you in real life.

Shows a complete lack of social competence. Scruffy.

It’s often not really about wanting to wear PJs when people wear them to supermarkets, on the school run or in a hotel.

It’s about telling the world that they don’t give a toss about other people but will do exactly what they like. It’s an attitude some people have - rules or norms or standards are not for them, and they delight and look for opportunities to show that attitude through behaviour. In some ways, it’s attention seeking - they want people to notice, perhaps comment and disapprove. Of course they would t say that, but if asked would say it was just about comfort and they can’t understand why anyone cares or notices…but actually often they want people to notice. Often it’s people who might not get noticed for much else in life and who feel the need to assert themselves and be noticed for something.

Similar behaviours are parents who live round the corner from school but drive to school for pick-up an hour before time and sit and leave their car engines running, refusing to send kids in school uniform, playing of loud music in gardens or out of open windows in summer because ‘they are entitled to do whatever they want’ - basically behaving in rather selfish ways which can impact others and deliberately not going with the social norms, often wanting to be noticed for the behaviour. It’s often an anti-authority thing.

No was taught to let it air.

I'd love to see your interpretation of posh if people are in their PJ's having champagne breakfasts. It's obviously not that posh a restaurant.
