To think that the dressing gown was one step too far?

[Imdunfer]

In a petrol station buying a coffee at nine thirty in the morning. Looking down realised that the young woman behind me was wearing obvious pyjamas. And slippers. Then looking up to see a fluffy cream dressing gown.

I can't decide if it matters. I was brought up to believe that it shows a complete lack of self respect, and a lack of respect for anyone else, but does it, these days?

YABU. Perfectly normal wear for filling up your car.

YANBU. What is the world coming to that anyone thinks that's reasonable.

Not sure why you’re referring to me as Janet? Is that like the misogynistic ’Karen’ thing? To be fair, you did say you thought you’d get flamed for your post. If you didn’t want to read others opinions on it, maybe you shouldn’t have posted it. It’s fine to want to be comfy. Not sure why it has to be in pyjamas outdoors, that’s all. Thanks for saying I’m welcome to think what I like though 😊👍

and really how is their situation got fuck all to you ?...move your judgemental arse on cos i bet youre not whiter than white smfh

Obviously your hygiene standards are questionable lol

@TheJoyousHiker but what about people with CGD syndrome?

( can't get dressed, it's fairly new)

Not if they've been taken in at a silly hour and only have the clothing they went in. Or if they've still been unwell as they left

How did you trace it back to handling money?

I popped into the supermarket on my way home from work tonight - about 5pm - and a woman was in there in pjs and a fluffy dressing gown with dogs on it. She was with her husband/partner who was dressed in regular clothes. I thought of this thread!

I might roll my eyes at it, but then I admit to walking the dogs early morning and sometimes late at night in my PJs. I have a coat on, not a fluffy dressing gown on.😅.
I would be too embarrassed to go to a shop like that. I have picked my daughter up from work ( when she was working in a bar), but stayed in the car.
Asda seems to attract PJ wearers. I usually see someone every time I go.

This thread is giving Mrs bouquet. The uptight people here who think their shit don’t stink are far worse than someone who wears pjs outside their house. Delusional is what you are.

I don’t think the negativity is about shit not smelling.

there’s two possibilities -
1 the dressing gown wearer is struggling and was having a bad day, and did it as a desperate act
2 the dressing gown wearer did it in a “look at me” way, like the roller-whilst-shopping wearers

it’s the second type that most people can’t stand

Was going to say the same. Clearly they don’t understand the definition of ‘Race’

Sigh. This keeps coming up on here. For one thing, Irish people as a whole in the UK are legally an ethnic minority and, under the 2010 Equality Act, are legally protected against discrimination on the grounds of their ethnicity.

Separately, Irish Travellers are legally recognised in the UK as a distinct ethnic minority.

And in Ireland, Travellers have been legally recognised as a distinct ethnic group since 2017. A big DNA study has been able to pinpoint how many generations ago Travellers’ genome diverged from the general Irish population — sometime in the 1600s.

Too many people think race/ethnicity is based on skin colour. Their minds will blow when they discover the existence of black Irish people.

Ah well, if the 2010 equality act says it then it must be right eh?……🙄

I’m not following.

A few years ago my neighbour's DD knocked asking for help because her car had run out of petrol a mile away in town. I was sick and in my PJs. However as help was needed I put on a dressing gown, grabbed a petrol can and I drove to the nearest petrol station. And I got out of the car and filled the can for her but she went inside to pay.

And if anyone judged me for my attire, more fool them.

The people racing to defend this behaviour blow my mind. It's slovenly. If someone has physical disabilities or mental illness and they are going out in pyjamas, it's a sign they need additional support. We should not be normalising this. We should be asking people if they are ok and if they say yes, we should be denying them access to the store.

Yours is about the one in a hundred cases I would probably think ok I can see that at a push but even then in your situation I would probably throw on a pair of jeans and a hoodie!

What about those that don’t care for people’s opinions and are just going about their day? Not everything is about attention

@SquirrelSoShiny well I didn't think I needed to get out of the car but the young lady was new to the world of motoring and in a bit of a flap. Good for you that you would throw a pair of jeans on, I, however, am not as concerned with keeping up appearances as much as you.

Wearing clothing outside is hardly posh lol

They’re slobs. They exist. Best ignored.
