Nipping out for a vape, 6.30am nobody around. And yeah I didn't put fresh pjs on to go outside lol

Omg just crack the window open and have a quick drag in the room. It’s only a vape.

But going outside in pjs is fine for this.

now if you’d nipped to the local Tesco in your PJs, dressing gown and Uggs i feel I’d be agreeing with the husband 🤣

purpledalmation · 07/04/2023 09:08

Yanbu. I bet loads of smokers/Vapor's do the same. Usually see staff too.

Well, I never asked if I was classy to be honest 😆 but im not skanky, a chav or common as muck.

Except you stood outside a public place, in your night attire, vaping. So it's a matter of opinion...

CiderJolly · 07/04/2023 09:09

It’s fine. I bet most folk just vape out the window so at least you followed the rules ans your kids don’t have to breathe it in.

Is it really pronounced "played" or are you having us on? Will my friends think I'm doing a Hyacinth Bouquet if I start saying "played" instead of "plad"?

yes, pronounced 'played'! Americans tend to call it plad

pjclown · 07/04/2023 09:10

Well that's it, at least I have the decency to leave the building. I might be skanky but I'm considerate 😆

Hey OP, I think you totally rock! I am a massive potterhead. I hope you are Hufflepuff like me. But even if you aren't I totally respect you. And you are allowed to vape in your potter pj's. Totally legal in this country still.
Your husband on the other hand meh! I bet he hasn't read potter.

MelsMoneyTree · 07/04/2023 09:12

Vaping outside in her pjs - does that really sound like the actions of a Hufflepuff? Nah, she's Slytherin or Ravenclaw Grin

They are Gryffindor, but at least not Slytherin ! He hasn't ever read a book 😩🙈

Ahhh the expected Mumsnet responses. Nope no judgment here, I'm not a smoker nor a vaper but it's 6am not 1pm. You were outside a few minutes not running around Tesco in your pyjamas and it's the Premier Inn not the flaming Mandarin Oriental.

I think the most Mumsnet thing about this thread is that people pretended they didn't know what "plad" was because it was missing one letter, "oh you meant plaid" and have gone on to give us the origin of the word 😅😅😅

I don't think there's a concensus. "Plad" might be correct if you're hung up on pronouncing Gaelic words correctly (I'm not) but it's not an Americanism.

As to the topic of the thread- yes I'd judge but tbh, getting addicted to vaping at all is pretty daft.

Jojobalone · 07/04/2023 09:14

I’ll take a punt

your marriage generally isn’t in a great place?!

Isitoknow · 07/04/2023 09:14

@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.

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 told the op to crack the window and have a quick drag out the window at that time in the Morning.

i don’t recommend that with the dog 🤣

Anycolouryoulike · 07/04/2023 09:15

Peak MN. I'm waiting for someone to say her DH is having an affair.

I have never ever heard it pronounced played!

that said, I'm now not sure I've ever heard it said out loud... 🤔

Well that depends if it's a MN approved rescue dog.

Sashimiandhisthunderpaws · 07/04/2023 09:17

@pjclown As long as you didn't wear your slippers outside! I would judge that. Can't abide wearing indoor shoes outside and vice versa.

youshouldnthaveasked · 07/04/2023 09:17

He is being over dramatic.

os vaping as addictive as smoking? I’ve not done either

AridFanjo · 07/04/2023 09:19

If my DH described me as ridiculous in anything other than a jokey/affectionate way, I’d be furious. It’s incredibly demeaning.

I don’t think what you did was ridiculous but yeah I’m afraid I’d be part of the judgy crowd (6.30am, in your PJs, in public, getting your nicotine hit. Not a great look). I’m with the poster who hopes this puts teenagers (my own included) off vaping.

And OP - sorry to hear about your anxiety (fellow sufferer) but here’s a good tip, if you can at all, go away for a few days WITHOUT the dc. Much more relaxing😇

NQOTDarling · 07/04/2023 09:22

Same set you slept in? YABU.

Why exactly? Who is it hurting?! Or is this some new germophobic 'norm' which you're going to act all 'faux shocked' that isn't the norm

Timeforchangeithink · 07/04/2023 09:22

I agree with your DH, totally embarrassing you don't have enough self respect for yourself to throw on some clothes.

Yes it is addictive. The vapes contain nicotine. Nicotine is addictive but it's not nicotine which causes the harm done by cigarettes so supposedly less dangerous.

The jury is I think still out on whether there are long term health risks of vaping. It doesn't however seem to me to be a good idea to become addicted to anything.

In environmental terms, vaping is adding to single use plastic.
