I walk past a PI on my way to work and regularly see people outside (middle of a high street) smoking in pjs! I've also seen a family at a PI breakfast in pjs that sound very similar to yours.....

@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 😂

You are deluded . People who smoke or vape become used to the smells.

It's not allowed and there is reason for that.

Please tell us that you were also wearing Crocs or dirty Uggs?.😉

I’d think it slobbish and would be embarrassed if my DH went out in PJs, but then I also think vaping is a bit grim.

a couple of weeks ago I was in a quite posh hotel in Dublin and a woman was having her breakfast in pyjamas. I was horrified!

For those saying to just smoke in the room or out the window - that’s incredibly selfish!

If the fire alarm goes off then the entire building will have to get up and go and stand outside until the building has been fully checked which could take ages.

It takes a few seconds to shove some trousers on and go outside.

@MarieRoseMarie you’re being mean - there’s no reason to disparage someone for what their budget is. Surely you know that people have different budgets and whilst a particular item might not mean much to you, it does to others.
the only thing coming off as cheap in your exchange on this thread is you unfortunately.

Nope.

She’s the one bragging about having an expensive coat. Go look up a living wage, the cost of ethically made wool and do the math on what clothes should cost.

Then if you’re not paying it, stop bragging.

Surely they'd be really stupid to smoke in the room for exactly that reason?

However, I know people who use those tiny little vapes in hotel toilets and even airplane toilets, that kick out such a tiddly amount of steam it could never be detected.

And they often smell like fruity air fresheners too.

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.

I've never brought my dog to a hotel so no! 😅

limitedperiodonly · 07/04/2023 10:49

I was visited in hospital by a colleague. I was surprised because we're weren't that close. I suspect she had an appointment in the area and thought she'd kill time by visiting me. Or maybe I was her good deed for the day.

She said: "Why don't we go to the canteen for a chat? That'll do you good." I was putting my faith in the drugs and the operation doing me more good, but I agreed.

I put on my dressing gown and slippers and she said: "Aren't you going to get dressed?" I said, no, I wasn't well, which was why I was in hospital, and pyjamas had become my new daytime attire.

When we got to the canteen she said: "Oh, it's all right. There are some other people in pyjamas." I said the nurses encouraged it because it made us easier to spot if we tried to escape.

zingally · 07/04/2023 10:53

It wouldn't have been the classiest thing I'd ever seen, but as my mum says, "it takes all sorts of people to make the world go round."

Would it have really made that much difference to spend 20 seconds putting on proper trousers at least?

Antiquiteas · 07/04/2023 11:00

He hasn't ever read a book 😩🙈

How the fuck can someone go through life not having ever read a book?? Tell me he doesn’t wear that with some sort of pride? Things like that genuinely bother me. Their life and knowledge must be so narrow.

amberisola · 07/04/2023 11:01

Wow, I can’t believe anyone would care about this. Some people obviously need to relax - maybe a vape and some comfy Harry Potter pjs would help!

I have to admit I would judge someone sitting down for breakfast in a hotel in the PJs they’d just slept in, but standing outside for a few mins at 6.30am? Who cares? Does your DH think the paparazzi are lying in wait?

limitedperiodonly · 07/04/2023 11:06

At the same hospital there is always a gaggle of smokers, real and vape, clustered at the far end of the awning at the entrance. They're always in pyjamas and slippers. Some wheel their drips with them.

I know they shouldn't and there are signs telling them not to, but though I don't smoke it doesn't bother me and presumably doesn't bother the staff much either because every time I go for an outpatients' appointment the gaggle is the same, it's just the faces that change.

No judgement here op you crack on.

And who would judge anyone for vaping outside at 6:30...... bonkers.

Being so addicted to you nicotine fix that your outside a hotel at 6.30 and can't even take the time to put on a coat and pull on jeans or a dress is bonkers.

I’m in a Travelodge right now. A little earlier I put my coat on over my pjs and took the dog out for a wee. So shoot me.

I wouldn't judge a dog walker as sometimes the dogs bladder dictates the speed at which you leave a house. In fact I would think how nice that the owner realised how desperate their pet was.

However I would judge a person who couldn't wait 1 minute to put some joggers and top on to go outside. I aways did this as a smoker, even in our not overlooked back garden.

Macaroni46 · 07/04/2023 11:18

@Jojobalone
"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?"
Not hostile attitudes, standards.

Testina · 07/04/2023 06:59

Well I’d judge someone vaping at 06:30 outside a Travelodge in their PJs. Not for wearing the PJs as such, but for being so desperate to vape that it couldn’t wait until they were dressed.

Yes me too I'm sorry

The dog walker poster mentioned putting on a coat which is bit different from a cardigan.

Well, good to know some people aren't that up themselves they wouldn't mind some middle aged woman in Harry Potter PLAD pjs and a vape.

I also teamed them with my chuck taylors 🙈

The replies here did not disappoint I'm delighted to see. I'd say the posters here are lots of fun at parties.

Why would anyone GAF about this? I don't smoke but what's the problem with heading out to an empty street in the wee hours wrapped up in PJs and a cardigan?

There's no way I'd be putting my clean clothes onto my unclean body before showering. It's nothing to do with the time it takes or self respect (lol). I shower, moisturise and put clean clothes on (I also don't like to put makeup on until I've been out in the fresh air already so shoot me) as part of my morning ritual.

Generally, I will never understand the horror of PJs being seen outside the bedroom, I know of some households where the kids are not allowed downstairs without getting dressed first. What a shit life that you can't even chill around your house for a while. In fact myself and my daughter are currently in dressing gowns, slippers the works as we are having a pyjama morning around the house before going out at lunchtime.

As for the suggestions she 'throw some joggers on'? Presumably she is away for a night or two. I don't pack an extra outfit (transition wear?) to wear in between my night and day outfits unless I'm planning to work out I'm pretty sure that hotel chain doesn't have a gym included.

As you've started a thread about this I assume this is out fo character for DH (not like some of the fun vacuums here) so we will give him a free pass, presumably this reminds him of someone or something that he is repelled by. I will never forget the look on now DH's face when we were traveling one time. It was early in the morning, I was exhausted after a flight and I sat down on the edge of the stationary baggage carousel. Panicked horror flashed across his face. Needless to say I do it now every chance I get to annoy him.
