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.

Sooooo good to feel self righteous if you don't have to share a packed bus with someone who doesn't wash and pisses themselves.

How do you know me and my kids are not vulnerable?

😬

Completely agree. It sounds a lot harder for you than it is for me, but on a day when my RA pain is flaring it takes me much longer to get ready for the day than it would take most people and every movement hurts. I sleep in leggings and a T-shirt now, partly in case I need to answer the door or interact with my DM's carer (DM lives with me) before I'm able to shower and dress. Generally speaking people with no pain/health/mobility issues really seem to struggle to understand how much energy has to be mustered up for the most basic tasks for some of us.

Nobody is forcing you to do it, are they? Your 'self-respect' is your business. Somebody else may not equate attire with 'self-respect' in the same way.

You are not going to be physically injured by seeing a person in pyjamas. It really shouldn't matter this much to you.

Their bodies are covered. It is no more unhygienic than sitting down in yesterday's trousers and top that they wore for a sweaty couple of hours in the car driving to the hotel, or on the train where they could have picked up bedbugs.

It's not something I have done, I don't even own pyjamas. But I don't understand why what other people wear is this much of a concern.

Never mind society for a minute. Tell me, in your own words, in what way this harms you on a personal level? What about this particular human behaviour cannot simply be ignored whilst you get on with your day?

Well, are you?

Whether or not you are, I'd hazard a guess that it's a damn sight easier for you to find somewhere to wash your clothes/body than it is for a homeless person.

Is that really the worst that's ever happened to you?

I'm about to go to my optician for a check up. I will, of course, be wearing my Jim jams just as I do when I go for appointments with the doctor, dentist, hospital and job interviews. I'm sure most posters here do this 😅🤪

Can you really not see the difference between leaving the house for this kind of appointment, and leaving the house to drop your kids off at school, or going downstairs to the hotel lobby to get breakfast?

Again, why does it concern you if they did. You aren't doing it. Nobody has told you you should be doing it, so I am still wondering why what other people choose to wear is of such a concern to you.

OP has also only seen one person eat breakfast in a hotel in their pjs. And apparently is now mortally offended that anyone might go anywhere in PJ's.

Moving the goalposts a bit, are we? 🤪

😆 🤣 😂 moving them back to Reddit - with any luck.

Quite. And has made the giant leap to anyone not being bothered by this must be happily attending interviews in PJs.

Not only have I done this a few times, (in hotels) I actually washed and got changed in to fresh PJs to do it. I love wafting about in PJs in the morning, but don't sleep in clothes.

My favourite time was in a very swanky place, in satin PJs, on the terrace in the sun eating my scrambled eggs, before retiring to my room/balcony with the newspaper crossword and a mimosa. Bliss.

Wonderful to see how I long may have lived rent-free in people's heads 😄

I would not stop smelly homeless person from using the bus - its their right and the nature/ purpose of the public transport. The fact they smell bad and are gross - well, its life... its not like I'm going to discriminate or abuse them over it.

My original comment was re someone sitting in their bed clothes on the piss stained seat and then, I assume, going to bed wearing the same clothes. Its not something I would consider hygienic, but seems a lot of people on here would not mind. I normally get changes once I get home, and would never sit on my bed wearing "street clothes". But everyone's standards are different, I know that.

School or corner shop - don't see a problem.
Big shopping or town - pretty strange.

So why didn't you get washed and changed into fresh normal clothes seeing as you're capable of doing it. I can only assume that people going down to brekkie in pj's fresh out of bed in a hotel or a shop don't know how to wash or dress themselves like a small child. It's childish, infantile behaviour.

Your obsession with other people's sartorial choices is really weird.

I also bought satin pj's. They could possibly pass as evening wear. Not so much the Disney or snoopy ones, or the ones tightly fitting around an 18 stone body. Anyone remember when pubs banned 20 stone men from coming in shirtless with their builder's crack on display? I seem to remember some protest about that 🤔 😀

Pj's are for the home. Pj's are for the home. What person doesn't understand this?

Silk floaty pjs are beautiful.
Much more beautiful than some "smart" outfits other people wear.
More comfortable too.
But why do you actually care so much?
Really what actual difference does it make to YOU?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Okay, not the best description, however I agree with you that sitting beside someone who stinks on public transport is horrendous.

I have no idea if the man who sat beside me recently was homeless, his grey tracksuit bottoms and trainers were clean-ish, he stank of stale piss, stale alcohol, his finger nails were filthy, he sat beside me for 8 stops, I didn't want to offend him by opening the windows, I was dizzy holding my breath. I live in the city, there is homeless facilities for showers and clean clothing 5 minutes away.

Vile.

They only banned 20 stone men? Or everyone?

I agree. I’ve literally had major life changing surgery and a week later whilst feeling the worst I’ve ever felt, I've still got myself dressed and done the school run whilst on crutches - fully presentable in clothes. There is no reason for it, it’s embarassing. I knew someone who would say ‘I don’t give a fuck what people think of me’ and wear he dressing gown whilst doing her Tesco shop each week. I could never understand what she was gaining by wearing that instead of putting a coat on instead

Other members of the public have to look at you in your PJs though. It’s disgusting and depressing and I’d be asking for a refund from any hotel that allows it. No chance I’d turn a blind eye. I don’t eat breakfast with a view of anyone in PJs even if I’m related to them.
