Going out shopping in your PJ's and slippers

[AppleWhiskers]

That's the third time this week, a sighting across 3 towns, nice seasonal tartan numbers with sturdy animal slippers

Best one was in Booths, a family of three resplendent in matching jammies. imagine the pearl clutching at that!

Still, what does it mean exactly? I thought this had died off years ago. If it's happening up here in Booths, maybe it's coming to a Waitrose near you further south any time now..

I don't currently drive so I don't have the luxury of choice, it's rainproof up to the eyeballs up here in storm Darragh.

I work in a convenience store and see it every day, I often wonder if it ever happens in the local waitrose 😂 to be fair it's usually late at night when people have run out of fags or milk. The pyjamas I can understand but the slippers does have me clutching my pearls, especially in the rain

I regularly go out in my slippers. And not just to the front garden, to places like the supermarket.

But then they're by definition not house shoes / slippers.

The point of house shoes is that they stay inside and don't get wet or dirty outside

It's weird, I used to live in a certain northern city where it was quite normal to see mums doing the school run in pyjamas, also people would wear them to go to the corner shop.
Where I live now I never see it, just depends what's normal I guess

And this is your opinion of my pyjamas? Perhaps my pyjamas might have been overlooked had I flattered your pyjamas?

But why do people care so much? Does what other people are wearing in the supermarket actually affect your life in any way?
The staff need to wear uniforms so you know they are staff - but the customers....who cares?
Does it stop you buying your shopping?
No. It doesn't.

I saw a family in matching Christmas pyjamas at Euston yesterday. I presume they were going on the polar express!

It’s probably a chain reaction, starts with going out to the bin with slippers on, somehow escalates to “oh fuck it, no one’ll notice if I wear my jammies to Tesco” I’ll be in and out in 5 minutes.

not that I’ve ever done that myself of course.

I was in superdrug a while back and the woman on the till had her hair in rollers 😂

Completely different, you have made the effort to actually get dressed. I don't get "dressed up" to leave the house, but I wouldn't be seen dead in public in my pjs (unless I was escaping a fire!).

You see it everywhere in Australia. Horrible cheap pyjamas and filthy feet. Grim.

According to some on this thread that is a laughable idea!

I don’t really understand it. It’s so easy to put on a pair of leggings, top and trainers/boots.

I’ve sometimes worn my pjs at home and thought could I get away with just putting my coat over the top and my wellies, to walk the dog in the dark. But then I think I’d have to change anyway before bed. (I couldn’t sleep in pjs I’d worn outside).

Surely, their slippers get filthy?

My NDN drives her car in backless slippers and long cardigan over her pyjamas.

We have to know which Lake District Booths branch it was.

Because it's not what people expect in a civilised society.

It's the dregs of society that bring down the tone of the whole area.

You can't expect people to respect you if you don't respect yourself.

Sounds cold 😱

@MidnightMeltdown so people who are nice and clean and wearing a pair of clean PJ's because they simply find them comfortable don't have any respect for themselves?
Strange theory.

Well they either lack respect for themselves or just for all those people around them. Either way, it's not a good look.

@ByMerryKoala I wear pj or "loungewear" bottoms every single day. I have some weight issues and they are the only type of trousers I currently find comfortable to wear.
They are always clean and I don't sleep in them.
So do I still have no respect for myself or the people around me?
Why does my choice of material to cover my legs have any affect on random strangers and why should they care?
Apologies if I am letting society down 😂

I dislike parents dropping kids off at school whilst wearing their pjs (parents not kids)
One father would rock up in a onesie.
He looked ridiculous.

But I was very puzzled by a man wearing a big coat and flip flops (they will always be flip flops to me) in 4 inches of snow! No socks either 🤣

It doesn't affect me at all all but boy do I judge

Minky behaviour

It’s disgusting but here in Ireland it’s only travellers who behave like that.

Love Booths.

Yep, on my lunch hour in town last week, woman on her phone in fluffy dressing gown, pj and fluffy slippers.it's a fuck you.
