AIBU to think hotel breakfast in pyjamas is not acceptable?

[Nextones]

AIBU yo think that adults should not arrive at the hotel breakfast in their pyjamas?

we’re staying in a city centre hotel. Nice place- nothing fancy, with breakfast included.

thus morning, 2 young women (prob early 20’s) came down to breakfast wearing short pyjamas, barefoot- clearly just out of bed. They were loud, and not overly polite to the staff either- “where are the plates” etc. just brash and abrupt.

Im generally not a fussy person but this sort of thing feels like a lowering of standards to me. I don’t think we saw stuff like this 10-15 years ago.

AIBU to think that this is not acceptable?

Utter claptrap. You talk as though there was some sort of insurmountable problem. Which there wasn't.

Get up twenty minutes or half an hour earlier, get showered and put on your clean clothes. Just like most other people. Easy enough surely and doesn't take much thinking through.

It’s tacky and slobby. . But tacky and slobby people walk amongst us.

wrong person

I don't think so.

Exactly. It conveys that they live in a minging pigsty, don't shower often, lie about not dressed all day, and have no self respect.

Exactly! Then that atmosphere makes us all feel down.

No different to when lazy mums do school runs in pjs, the chav look is clearly a thing in this country (not a look I like to add)

Not you, the person you were quoting. I confused her with the person who did Park Run.

@Wookyhole Can I send you a DM? Just have a random question, related to the thread.

Well it’s a new low when you are told you’ve a stick up yer arse as you don’t wear pyjamas to eat in restaurants. If that’s having a stick up my arse il welcome it proudly. 😂

Me too 😂! I may carve "standards" on mine 😜

Really? Even for young children? Are you in the military or related to the royal family?

The debate about what is more or less hygienic is dancing on the head of a pin. Unless very extreme it’s a matter of perception …however if a shared social code states that we are dressed/washed and dressed before appearing at breakfast in a restaurant, it stands to reason that refusal to do so attracts attention and not in a good way. Personally I find it cringey and unpleasant because it’s an expectation instilled in me that we get dressed in these circumstances. Those that don’t …well, it feels performative…”I’ll do what I like …stick that in your pipe and smoke it, sort of thing.” Quite a while ago, maybe 12 years ago we as a family had hosted a celebration in a big central London hotel. Bed and breakfast was included for us and we had to get up early because in spite of the late night the DC were due at school the next day. We all washed and dressed feeling tired and a bit bleary eyed, nevertheless. In the restaurant there was an entire family (not guests at our event) who were in their nightwear at a table eating breakfast. Did I like it? No. Did I judge? Yes. Did I complain to the hotel? No, but I regret not doing it.

I know. Imagine not wanting to eat hotel breakfast in bed clothes and thinking that others that do so have low standards, and that means you have a stick up your arse? Are people's personal standards of decorum and appearance as low as that these days? What a country we're becoming. The wife and I are flying out to Gran Canaria tomorrow from Glasgow, and you can bet your life we'll be clean, tidy, smelling nice, and presentable.

No.

I work in a hotel and so many come down in pjs / barefoot. One man came down in just a robe; absolutely nothing else; got an eyeful that morning. It’s awful and so disrespectful

Yes, it's not that difficult is it?
Even if you're not a royal or in the military 🙄

How repulsive. Did no-one speak to him about it?

Excellent points. 👍🏼

I used to bring casual clothes to change into for breakfast. Then I realized they look identical to my pajamas.

Now I throw on a light cardigan to make me look a bit more polished and just enjoy my breakfast.

Editing to add that even when I travel, I wear fresh pajamas every night after showering before bed.

Unacceptable! they're not in their own home, they might just as well come down in a dressing gown and slippers. Pull on something casual, track suit bottoms and a clean t shirt at least. I haven't read all the posts, but if they didn't, the management should have had a word

There are enough sausages about at breakfast as it stands. I don’t want to see anymore.

You wear it proudly, but just know your judged too. Uppity stick people are judged for taking themselves too seriously, rigid prudes who need a good 🍆 sorting.

I am British but of Indian heritage ( grandparents Indian yadayadayada).. And this is not cultural..!!!

I’m American and grew up with this being a somewhat normal thing for teenagers or uni students to do. We were still polite to everyone though. We once did a school ‘prank’ where all the seniors (final year of high school) showed up in pajamas and then drove off to eat pancakes at a local restaurant. It was the end of the school year and all exams were done so a bit of a celebration. But still, public wearing pajamas at breakfast en masse.
