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.

Nobody cares.

@Asdada Don't look if you don't like it 😂
I always show this picture on these (tedious weekly anti-pj) threads of this fantastic pair of 1920s pyjamas.
I wonder what colour they were? I wish I had the body to wear something as pretty and floaty as these.
I can't believe the non important things people get het up about.
(picture make take a minute to show)

I couldn't tell you what anyone wore today - I don't waste my life staring at other people's outfits, unless of course they are extra stylish and I have outfit envy. Which is quite often. See also: trouser envy, dress envy, hair envy.

Your one golden life, and you're frittering it away on pointless, futile, joy-killing anger over something you can't influence.

@MatildaMovesMountains exactly. I went on a bus today with about 20 people on.
The driver had a uniform. I couldn't tell you about anyone else 😂
Edit : I lie. I did think briefly "isn't she hot in that coat" about a lady in one of those long puffy coats.

Those people who think its fine and they are just clothes, 'who cares!? mind your own business!', how about going out in your underwear or just a towel?
I mean if everything is covered and its nobodies business then is it fine to be shopping in boxers or a slip? Would you clutch your pearls for this or be ok with it?

Geniunely interested what the cut off point is! (I live in a fairly dodgy area and have seen some pretty hair raising sights....including a guy walking down the middle of the street in his underwear!).

When I am in a hotel, I'm really not interested in the clothing of people I don't know. Of course I can see them, but I am hardly forced to sit looking at them, even if they are on the next table. I am focussed on my own food, the company I am with, thinking about the day I am going to have, not gawking at others in the dining room.

It's not hard to pay little attention to people quietly getting on with their breakfast when you have your own interests to be getting on with.

If they were stark, bollocks naked, I might look twice. But it's not going to put me off my breakfast unless they've dunked their unmentionables in the bacon.

I have better manners than to sit staring at people, regardless of what they have on. I'm not embarrassed by what other people do, it's a pointless emotion to attached to another person. It is their embarrassment to have, or not as the case may be.

I don't get these people who can't just get on and shop/eat breakfast/whatever whilst somebody else does the same in different attire. It's a public space. Other people exist in it. Clothes don't stop people being sweaty and smelly.

If I was this bothered I would have breakfast in my room and shop online.

You'd ask a hotel for a refund because a guest came down in PJs??

What an earth do you expect the hotel to do about it, throw them out? (after allowing them time to dress so as not to offend your delicate sensibilities, of course)

Seriously, I think you might need a bit more to occupy your mind...

Sensible approach. Though isn’t this the point? Not everyone wears PJs in bed.

Some people wear shorts and a vest. Or joggers and a t-shirt. So how does anyone know people are wearing (to breakfast in an hotel, on school run or in supermarket) clothes they’ve slept in?

Is it OK as long as it’s not identifiable sleepwear? When most of the criticism about wearing PJs is about wearing clothes you’ve slept in.

I would have my suspicions about a poster named "ampleplumposter"🤔 Dropped a grenade and MN is not disappointing him.

Life is just too short for this, people. Live by your own values and let others live by theirs.

My nan had an outfit like that in early 30s. With flowers on.

My cut off point is if people are being a nuisance. Where I live, it's not uncommon to see people drunk during the day, lying on pavements outside the weather spoons, etc, shouting at passers-by. Wearing odd/minimal clothing is no threat to me unless they run up to me shouting the odds. I don't see what people wear or don't wear as something that I have any need to be bothered by.

I just think it violates the sanctity of pyjamas 😂 How can your pyjamas feel lovely and comfy at the end of the day if you've worn them outside?

Very soon, people will be taking a dump in public on the pavement and posters on here will be saying it's their rights, innit. That’s the way things are going here. The number of notices around saying "abuse will not be tolerated" towards public servants suggests an infantilised society where grown adults act and behave like toddlers, including refusing to dress appropriately in public.

We are a nation of scruff bags who get scruffier every day. Not saying we should all go around in a suit but I do think it’s a little sad how scruffy people are these days. I blame Lycra and shell suits. That’s when it started.

No chance I’d turn a blind eye

What would you do then? Loudly confront a stranger in a hotel restaurant, thus causing a scene?

I wonder which of you would be considered to have the least decorum...

Ah yes, the natural next step from silk pyjamas at breakfast is taking a dump in public.

Let people eat breakfast in whatever clothes they want. I'm sure you wear things other people deem inappropriate for the occasion. I don't see jewellery at 730am for the school run as necessary and anyone "done up" for just that trip out is inappropriate (school mum friends will be gossiping that you're after the dad's).

Employ staff to intercept them before they reach the breakfast room to avoid refund requests?

Or use AI to spot a pyjama at 20m?

Insist on sniffing people before they’re seated to check they’ve showered?

I wonder (if truth be told) what percentage of people eat an hotel breakfast before having a shower, but wear ‘regular clothes’ (whatever they are) rather than identifiable PJs. I’d bet a substantial proportion only wake in time to dash to breakfast before it ends, then shower afterwards, especially if they’re not checking out that day.

But apparently that’s OK, as they’re not wearing (potentially freshly laundered) PJs.

Why is it inappropriate to wear jewellery and dress up?

I don’t wear makeup and jewellery for any occasion.

For the school run? Why is it appropriate? Also try reading, I did say it's because it will look like you're trying to get with one of the dads. Or, another thought, just prove you're "better" than the other mums.

There's a woman in my office who wears cocktail dresses, diamonds (or at least diamond effect) and full "night out" make up every day she's in. She has thrown herself at several male co workers, despite both them and her being married. People talk about the fact she dresses like that purely for the attention and in an attempt to "snag" one of the men.

I went to India a couple of years ago on an organised tour. Stayed in a very nice hotel in Shimla in the Himalayas. There was a notice saying please do not come to breakfast in your pyjamas. So I imagine that notice was directed at the badly behaved Brits not at the Indian guests who were beautifully turned out and well dressed.

You just keep throwing in more bollocks posts don’t you? 😂

Considering how many "nice hotels" OP stays at, you'd think she'd have a better handle on being nice.

@YourAmplePlumPoster , like you I would never wear pyjamas outside. You talk about beautiful manners etc, but I don’t really think using an outdated expression like ‘wrong in the head’ is very appropriate or kind.
