What is this new form of slobdom?

[Theokaycokey]

Staying at a seaside resort in the UK. Large Hotel has a massive open atrium that is overlooked by hotel rooms and anyone walking along the promenade. The hotel restaurant is located smack bang in the middle of the atrium and is open to the reception area. I come down to breakfast this morning and a significant number of guests are sat in their pyjamas having their breakfast! Different families, all scattered around the restaurant or queuing at the breakfast buffet in their nightwear and fluffy slippers. This is the first time that I have come across this. Is it a relatively recent phenomenon?

Sitting, sitting, SITTING in their pyjamas

I really like my SIL but she can be a bit full of herself. She and my brother were really jet lagged when they checked into a (very expensive) hotel in New Orleans. SIL took and Ambien and was sound asleep; he decided to go for a walk since he couldn't settle down.

As he's returning to the hotel he can see my SIL sitting in the hotel cocktail lounge, in her pajamas with a slipper on one foot (the other was bare). She was sleeping and had no recollection of making her way down to the lobby😂

I mean, it's funny as Hell, but could have been a disaster! Pretty scary.

Hi, it's probably best if you ask mumsnet to move your post to a new thread so you'll get more answers. My two cents is that it's your body, your choice- you have the right to do what you like and he can't force you to have a baby, so it's ok not to tell him and maybe be guilted into having it. Remember he's not the one going through the ordeal of birth and pregnancy! Best of luck.

Brexit. 🤣

It is possible to wash the important bits and still wear pyjamas to breakfast. Honestly, this obsession with showering every day is one of the reasons why the world is on fire and the ice caps are melting.

I quite fancy being one of the ones eating breakfast in pyjamas in a hotel restaurant area. I would expect a decent full English as well. And tea. In a pot. (had to make do with mugs)

We are in Cyprus and there were two people at breakfast in (matching) pyjamas. Think they were the older children in a family. I thought it was disgusting.

She began sporting flowy “beach pyjamas” while vacationing on the French Riviera. The garment was considered risqué at the time, due to pyjamas’ association with the bedroom.

She loved jersey. The fabric was especially prominent in her sportswear-influenced pieces, much to the shock of her clientele, which was used to satin and silk. Jersey had, until then, been mostly used for men’s underwear.

It's so fabulous that Mumsnet's notorious pearl-clutchers still adhere to the values beloved by Coco Chanel's disgusted critics of 1918 😂

From the mid-1980s onwards, I made a point of seeking out Lycra-enriched workwear - preferably jersey - and leather trainers that would pass as smart shoes. Since some of you are wondering, it was a medium-powered, client-facing job in which I negotiated million-pound deals. No-one ever told me to go home and change into something less comfortable!

Quite.

Cringing so hard at posters desperately trying to out-do each other with the 'funnies' 🙈

Unfortunately no, it’s not a new thing. I’ve seen people wearing pyjamas in the supermarket, restaurants, dropping kids to school…. Have some bloody self respect and get washed and dressed fgs.

Wow, this thread🤦‍♀️

The PJ wearing breakfasters are one up on me. I don't even have a pair fit to be seen in public, I'm currently tucked in wearing a faded (but oh so soft) Jack Daniels T shirt and a pair of knickers.
Hotel breakfasts are too much of a treat to bother what others are wearing, the kids used to wear PJs, otherwise they'd spill and they'd have worn two outfits before 9am.

Just how does anyone have the time or energy to get outraged by stuff like this.

I find this odd

The first time in encountered this was on European city break

Id never seen this before

I like to shower and dress for hotel breakfast

It's scummy and gross. Like it or not, there are certain behavioural standards which apply in a civilised society.

I saw a woman recently wearing an Oodie (?) at the supermarket. I don’t have one but aren’t they indoor clothes? She looked a complete slob.

Dogs in supermarkets is a lot more worthy of outrage, that is something that really deserves to be called out as unhygienic. The oodie-wearing lazy person isn't going to cock their leg and pee on the produce 😬

@EtiennePalmiere thanks, I am new here and don’t have a clue how to start a new thread 🤦🏻‍♀️ I thought I’d figured it out and then saw it had posted in here so tried to delete it but not sure if you can? I’ll message mumsnet and see if there’s anything they can do on their end.

🤣🤣

I'm on holiday in a naice hotel in Antalya and no pjs or wants here.
There was a last who travelled here in rollers though.I admired her ability to not give a fk tbh

@PrincessHoneysuckle

weve just arrived home from belek, Antalya on Friday. My 1st time in Turkey and it was amazing. We went to a place called land of lions (pretty expensive like with the added extras) but I’d highly recommend it. You get to feed lions (throw meat to them over a wall) and hold lion cubs (€20pp with unlimited photos/videos). Just be careful when handling them as I got bit on my boob. Came home and have had to get antibiotics and need to go to a&e for a tetanus 🤦🏻‍♀️ (just can’t bring myself to go and sit there for hours 😩) there’s no infection but just on the safe side.

Thankfully I have never seen this. I hate it because it is so lazy. The rational part of me says that it does not affect me. So why am I bothered? But my gut instinct is to judge for the lazy slobbishness of it all.

And no, I don’t believe that all these people have chronic illnesses which render them able to go on holiday to a hotel, but unable to put on clothes for breakfast.

‘Just how does anyone have the time or energy to get outraged by stuff like this.’

These kinds of comments are just silly. Having a thought takes little energy. And most people here are just whiling away some spare time on MN. Nobody is setting aside time in their busy diary to get worked up about pyjamas at breakfast.

And no, I don’t believe that all these people have chronic illnesses which render them able to go on holiday to a hotel, but unable to put on clothes for breakfast.

Seconded.

In a hotel next to an hospital where outpatients or stressed out & exhausted family might be staying, sure. In the supermarket or petrol station? Absolute benefit of the doubt.

The ladies in the skimpy PJs at our hotel in the summer had plenty of spoons available for skipping back and forth to the pool bar all afternoon and getting involved in the evening entertainment. Their decision to turn up at breakfast in the same set of barely there pyjamas for 7 days on the run was just that, an active decision.

FWIW I'm not a 'you must shower before breakfast' advocate at all, I often don't either, and actually I couldn't much care if someone arrived in a full traditional pyjama set that offers some coverage, but for the love of god wear something that covers your arse cheeks while others are eating breakfast.

Oh give over with the dramatics. What is "disgusting" about wearing pyjamas while eating breakfast. I have never in my entire life heard so many pearl clutchers at one time.

@completelywornout Please do not promote or visit places like this. There is no need or excuse for the public to be handling lion cubs. This is animal cruelty and abuse. These places are terrible for captive animals and make money from their misery.

And you can’t see anything wrong with this???
