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?

Wait? What? Too many tenses in one sentence!

I've stayed in a variety of travelodge/premier inns etc and seen this only ever in London. I do judge and wouldn't do jt myself but do regularly take joggers and hoodie for breakfast if I'm on hols and shower after!

🤣🤣🤣 fanny wafts 🤣🤣🤣 👌🏻👏🏻
True though, just because others look dressed doesn’t mean they’re clean #pukestillonmyshoes

Scruffy & the hotel should refuse breakfast until they come back properly dressed. Not hard to pop jeans & t-shirt on. No one is expecting formal attire to breakfast but have some self respect & respect to the hotel staff. There is casual & there is disrespectful & sadly some get them confused

The pomposity of this thread is hilarious 😂 I think some of you need to get a grip of yourselves.

The poster who said she couldn’t bear to be seen in pj’s even when staying with friends? 🤣 my friend often borrows my PJ’s when she forgets hers and we all sit and chill before bed. My other friend came and jumped in bed in with me in the morning when I stayed at hers so we could chat about her night shift our policing the night before! That’s the same friend that had to wipe green slime off my arse after we’d been wild swimming one day and my cossie had filtered all the algae onto my body! 🙈

I’d much rather be that comfortable with my friends than aghast at the thought of us seeing each other in states of undress 🙄

I don’t go to hotel breakfast in my nightwear, but I’m now used to being out in public in my PJ’s or nightie. When my lifeboat pager goes off I don’t have time to be getting dressed when I leap out of bed!

I personally wouldn’t do it, but I wouldn’t be bothered if I saw people doing it either. Unless it was a high class place but I am not the person who would be in a high class place either 🤣 as long as I get my brekkie or whatever and they weren’t being loud or rude I wouldn’t care to be honest.

We go to Hilton doubletree quite often around America and they all have this layout of atrium with rooms
all around and central breakfast area. People come down in pj bottoms and slippers but not usually full nightwear. I don’t have a problem with it though. More surprised by the number of people in pj bottoms, onesies and slippers going grocery shopping these days.

I have seen it occasionally where we live - people going down to the newsagents in their night clothes. My neighbours grown up children often turn up in their pyjamas too.

I can't say it particularly bothers me but it's not something I would do.

I think it's disrespectful to others to not dress appropriately for the situation; in this case, all they needed to do was chuck some simple clothes on.

I saw quite a few people at breakfast, wedding guests from the day before, in their PJs in the dining room during my last hotel stay. It's just plain laziness snd having no thought for others.

It’s fucking bone idle. I would absolutely judge someone for this. How long does it take to put on clean clothes? 20 seconds? Brush teeth, wash face? 60 seconds? Bit of blusher, bit of lipstick and a squirt of perfume? Another 20 seconds. Run a brush through hair…15 seconds. I could go from looking like a bag of shit in my PJs to looking clean, smart, well dressed and made-up in about three minutes.

Yes, If you have dressed it's likely you have at least put on clean undies. Pj's in public is just wierd. These people need to be told to stop it. It's making everyone else uncomfortable.

I’ve never seen anyone in a hotel do this but used to see it often around where I live. I’m either a recluse and don’t get out very often, or people have stopped going out in their pjs where I live. I suspect it’s the 1st tho 😂

Scarborough?

Some nights I just lay in bed, reading MN, shaking with silent laughter (husband and sleeping dog in/on the bed). Tonight is one of those nights 🤣

About 7/8 years ago I took DS to a holiday lodge place and we booked one of the (outdoor) activities that started at 11am and two of the mums came together in their dressing gowns and PJs. Everyone was pretty bemused. Their kids were dressed!

Not seen this in a hotel (yet).

In the height of summer, in Glasgow, I saw someone wearing pyjamas, slippers and a winter waterproof coat going to the local shop!

Well, you should spend 2 minutes cleaning your teeth so 60 seconds to wash face and clean teeth isn't cleaning your teeth properly for a start...

20 seconds to put on make up is ridiculous and, gasps, we don't all wear make up!

And your hair only takes 15 seconds to brush? Lucky you!

OMG! Yikes!

Lazy bastards.

Animals!!

Charming! I haven’t finished the thread and am wandering where this conversation will go next 😂

I always get dressed but sometimes at smaller boutique hotels I’ll wear hotel slippers to breakfast as I feel weird eating my breakfast in shoes. But I would put shoes on in the set up you describe

I was just about to say this.
@Moveoverdarlin you may look clean and presentable, but you’re not really are you? Not if this is how quickly you’re doing things…

I would assume that somebody must be very emotionally frail indeed if they need to rely on strangers wearing what they deem appropriate - even though this is never actually communicated and opinions differ greatly about it - in order to feel 'respected' and 'thought about'.

Do you pay much mind to what other people who also happen to be in the supermarket at the same time as you are wearing/buying/doing; or do you just accept that your locations are briefly overlapping but your lives are not actually connected at all?

I never wear make up and never brush (or comb) my hair. I look much the same when I get out of bed as I do when I leave the house for work except for the clothes. Not all of us look like "a bag of shit" on rising.
