It's about having standards @Jojobalone, and instilling them in your children.
Vaping outside a public place in pjs to me is skanky. I make no apologies for thinking it. I wouldn't pass comment to the person or make a comment to anyone else, just think it. But seeing as the OP asked, I have given my opinion.

I don’t smoke or vape
I wouldn’t ever go out in my pjs

but as long as not harming anyone or bothering anyone - then each to their own

I wouldn't leave my hotel room in my Pj's tbh. 🙈

Not even to let the dog out for a wee?

I've done it at all times of night, into the early morning. I sleep naked too, so its either a dressing gown or a large coat, once recently (although a small hotel, and the back door) in a giant stitch hoodie, similar to those oodies that were all the rage this last winter. I have no shame. Oddly though I'll get fully dressed to go for a smoke.

Wow! Bit of a presumption! You're being just as judgey of me 😂

ConstanceOcean · 07/04/2023 10:01

I would think it was slobbish if I saw you but if I was you I’d still do it.

When I was younger and smoked I would have done this without a 2nd thought.

Now if I still smoked then I’d put my day clothes on first, as I assume you’d do that once you got back anyway.

RenoDakota · 07/04/2023 10:02

I think I would have quickly pulled on last night's clothes to go out for a vape (more out of a misplaced sense of decorum than anything else).
But I would have been delighted to see you out there and we would probably have struck up a nice conversation.

Macaroni46 · 07/04/2023 10:03

Jojobalone · 07/04/2023 09:59

But In This scenario, there was no one around.

OP wouldn't have known that until she got outside.
Look - we don't have to agree. It's no biggie. Just, as I said above, OP asked for people's opinions and I gave mine which I'm entitled to give. Just as you are entitled to give yours.

He’s BU. Presume he also vapes?

I applaud people like you, the more middle aged vapers the better, and at 6:30am outside a travel lodge. Maybe some teens on their way back from a night out would have seen this - not so cool anymore is it!

If the middle aged can destroy vaping for teenagers like they destroyed Facebook, then I am all for this kind of behaviour.

😂👋

You’re in a premier inn, the bars set pretty low so crack on.

Tell him you’ll act classy when you’re in a classy hotel.

My favourite response to dh was “it’s all part of the charm” it’s the Swiss Army knife of responses.

WisherWood · 07/04/2023 10:08

I wouldn't judge anyone for vaping outside a premier inn in their PJs. But then I've never spent more than £100 quid on any item of clothing, including my winter coats so I probably count as a chav on mumsnet.

Although, having said that, I did spend £200 on my long riding boots, about 25 years ago. This may put me back in the MN club. I'm not sure.

Whowhatwherewhenwhy1 · 07/04/2023 10:11

Nope i agree with him. Do you do the school run or pop to the corner shop in Pjs?

But surely if you think someone vaping in the early hours wearing pjs with a long cardigan over it outside a PI is “skanky” and it’s about instilling good manners etc in your children - then are you honestly saying that this wouldn’t suggest hostile attitudes towards a multitude of other similar such actions?

Well I am guessing she would have stood apart from any one else randomly standing outside the PI in the early hours

fuckmylife2023 · 07/04/2023 10:14

OP as long as your vape doesn't blow out clouds and is a little vape with little steam just do it in the room. I've got one of those skinny vapes which hardly anything comes out. Just do it in the room and blow it downwards. I do it all the time. Or just hold it in a bit longer until no smoke comes out.

No need to go outside (unless you've got kids with you) or just blow it out the window.

lipikar · 07/04/2023 07:06

You could have easily vaped in your room. No one would know

It sets off smoke alarms! Do you remember when vapes were new and someone caused a huge panic because they set off the smoke alarm on a coach on the motorway?

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 07/04/2023 10:15

I’d probably have pulled on some tracksuit bottoms and a coat at least.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 07/04/2023 10:16

But also I think “ridiculous” is going a bit far. It’s just not what I’d have done.

@Chooksnroses

If you've got one of those huge grenade looking devices it does. But a normal small vape won't. I've vaped in hotels / toilets many times. It's absolutely fine.

crochetmonkey74 · 07/04/2023 10:19

I love how the posters on this thread get more judgey
I'm out in my pyjamas, hmm could be ok
I was vaping, you piece of scum and also by the way you can't spell plaid !!
Aaaaarrrrrgggghhh
Burn the witch

WitchQueenofDarkness · 07/04/2023 10:22

Yes I'd judge you for that. If you were about to get up anyway then it would have taken very little time for a quick shower and to get dressed.

I had an awful night with the dog in one Travelodge which meant I had to take him out for a wee every 2 hours. I put on proper clothes each time.

mewkins · 07/04/2023 10:26

pjclown · 07/04/2023 09:28

I must admit, this thread has given me a laugh this morning ! I keep imagining a dog begin aimed out of a one inch wide window for a piss 🤣🤣

My dog is only small but she would not be up for this. I've definitely been known to take the dog for a quick walk in pyjamas and snow boots in winter. 😄

Well you're a bit insecure then if you think everyone is that arsed about what you look like when letting your dog out.

QuizzlyBears · 07/04/2023 08:17

Vaping feels to me like a bunch of adults just sucking on adult versions of dummies. I’d judge, but I’m a snob about vaping and the picture you’ve painted is less than classy.

I’d judge, but I’m a snob about vaping

Let me fix that for you.

"I'd judge, but I'm pig ignorant about addiction"

Ignorance really isn't classy either but yet here you are, unashamedly letting us all know about it.

FFS.

People like this ^^

You do realise that other guests will have to check into your room where you have stunk it out? Even allowing for cleaning time, it will still smell.

fuckmylife2023 · 07/04/2023 10:31

@MakingitOver no it doesn't 😂

As I said, if it's a vape that produces those huge smoke clouds and leaves a fog around yes. But if you have a small vape with minimal smoke, it won't.

It's not a cigarette 😂

@ThankmelaterOkay so 33 is middle aged in your world is it?

Mumsnet ageism rears its head again.
