To think that women (or men) who drop their kids off at school in PJS, go shopping in Tesco in pj's and come down to the breakfast in a hotel in pj's are wrong in the head?

I visited Amsterdam last year and was shocked to see an apparently middle class women coming down to breakfast in her pj's,dressing gown and slippers. Similarly going round Tescos where there are people, especially women in pj's and slippers. No doubt I'll be called an old right wing fascist or something.

What, you don’t wear a powdered wig? How slutty!

If I wanted breakfast in my pjs at a hotel, I'd order room service. Seems very odd.

I find it gross and unhygienic. I have seen people sitting on public transport in PJs - like seriously? In a same seat just vacated by piss smelling old homeless looking man.

But I think its more of a statement than simply laziness. I see it a lot with teenagers - not sure what they are trying to say but its clearly deliberate. Tight vest with bra and PJ bottoms plus uggs or something equally slouchy. Like, I'm sooo laid back I cant even get dressed.

Personally, I'd shoot 'em!! - but it is, the slow drip, drip, drip of a reduction of standards and pure laziness.
If you wish to lay about in sleep/lounge way all day long - fine, but going outside, even for a pint of milk, change your clothes! I wake up, shower, and change ready for the day - even when I'm working from home, I'm still in exactly what I'd wear to the office, although at home I will wear shorts!
As for the school run............ What message are they sending ? Not only to their children but to the school and other children?
Standards are slipping, which again means that you wouldn't ask that parent/neighbour to help out, sign a petition, assist with the school fete etc..,

Yes Ive worked on psychiatric wards in the past and its a big thing that you get up, get washed and dressed for the day, its a totally different mental state to be in.

Was coming on to post this. Never seen anyone in PJs unless we were guests in their home. Never seen it at hotels either.

No, but as you can see I only put half my head on so people can't see my hair 😊

This will shock you OP

I went to the cinema and then to a bar in PJs.

The film was the Rocky Horror Picture Show though and I was probably wearing more clothes than a lot of people.

I find it really odd because its so easy to chuck on yoga pants and a hoody and be just as comfy.

I've reported your post by the way for its disgusting ableism. Any amount of jewellery won't hide your bigotry 🤷‍♀️

I agree. I don't feel ready for the day if I don't get dressed.

But unless you're wearing "nice" clothes and jewellery you'll still fall way below OP's standards 🙄

It actually just makes me feel a bit cold if I ever see someone out with PJ bottoms on! They’re inside clothes surely unless it’s an emergency much better to get some proper clothes on

Well the goady thread is still standing. What horrible posts this thread has attracted. The language in the thread title seems to have unleashed a frenzy of judgemental, snobby attitudes. BTW, to describe someone as being "wrong in the head". Just have a good think about that.

Not to mention people have worked shift for decades, but only recently have people felt the need to walk around in their PJs, so this isnt about shift work, its about not giving a toss.

I reported it yesterday.

Apparently I’m not presentable as I don’t wear makeup or jewellery - never have.

Why does it bother you for what someone else is wearing?

What a lovely way to describe a vulnerable member of society.

Unless they’re nice Muslim ladies - who are criticised for not going bareheaded.

Or for wearing an overcoat (abaya) when they leave the house.

Where have you stayed and seen ‘lots’? I’ve stayed at plenty of different hotels and thankfully goodness have never seen anyone coming down to breakfast in their pyjamas. I’m surprised hotels don’t ban it. It’s a thoroughly grim, chavvy thing to do - no apologies for using the C word. Same goes for shopping or school run in PJs.

It wouldn’t offend me at all- assuming they are appropriately covered up- but I do think it’s very lazy

I always put on (day) clothes to leave the house. I don’t always style my hair or put make up on though. I never wear jewellery except rings. And I think it’s unreasonable to suggest that we should. That is personal choice.

I once saw a mum drop older child off at school with younger child in pram. Kid you not, mum was wearing a dressing gown with remote control in one pocket, babies bottle in the other.
We left that school.

I don't know why anyone would go out in pyjamas during the day. I did it once on the small hours of the morning but had a coat and boots over the top. I don't have kids but would never do the school run in pyjamas and don't remember ever seeing it when I was kid, my Mum wouldn't have dreamed of it. I saw a woman just last weekend walking across Morrisons carpark clearly wearing pyjamas, slippers and a dressing gown, where are these people's self-respect?

I'm a big believer in cleanliness in public, so I'd rather see people in clean pyjamas doing the school run/in Tesco (some people have 'day' pjs), than straight out of bed but wearing proper clothes. But in a hotel it's more likely that the people at breakfast in pjs have literally just got out of bed and I agree with you that it's grim and inconsiderate to the people around them. I'd make an exception for children though.

It's basic manners to have a shower and get dressed, so you are clean in public.
