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.

Weird attention seeking behaviour.

They want people to look at them.

It’s disgusting. There are so many comfy outfits these days, there is no need.

It shows a lack of respect for yourself imo.

It doesn't bother me personally; I just think those people have no standards.

Back into their bra or knickers.

What if they take their showers in the evening? Then they have washed.

Well it’s not normal. But has absolutely nothing to do with you what other people wear.

But why don't they just wear hoodies and joggers, why the full extreme fluffy teddyprint style range? We should be grateful that the onesie trend is no more.

Yes I think it’s disgusting too. I could never wear outside clothes to bed.

Yes when I see it I don't like it and I think to myself lazy bitch but it doesn't offend me personally.
If they want to wear the clothes they sleep in in the petrol station more fool them.

Ewww 😄😩

Pretty sure it's illegal to drive in fluffy slippers, anyway...?

There is nothing in the OP that says the woman drove to the petrol station. Or that the slippers were fluffy.

It doesn't bother me but then I often go to the supermarket during a run, so very sweaty, very unwashed, and wearing running kit (which could be mistaken for pjs if you just glanced - running bra and shorts).

My son was working on the till for a few months before uni and mentioned many times how he was handed sweaty cash from women's bras. He always said he was so tempted to take the change out of his underpants to pass back to them 😂.

They are the same race , just a different culture

Who cares.
And you obviously don't remember women going to the corner shop wearing a pinny and curlers with a fag ganging out their mouths.

My near neighbour sits outside her block in her dressing gown and with phone and vape each morning. I just wonder who gets her children ready for school.

The children probably get themselves dressed. Not everyone babies children.

I really cannot agree. Despite the social progress reflected in law and business practice etc, I think all the ills you list have become very much darker, and no less common.
I am amazed and horrified to find that forty five-years on, I’d class Thatcher’s Britain as essentially a much better place to be, even taking into account the terrible travails faced by many.

I reckon a huge proportion of the social evolution which was being nurtured back then (unsympathetic government notwithstanding) has been so undermined and ‘built over’, that things have essentially rolled backwards.

(Just stop and consider misogyny. Feminism has been totally traduced, and refashioned unrecognisably. Even female MPs in a Labour government work against us, and that’s a drop in the general ocean of such betrayal)

☹️

One is a baby

Knickers! Yuck!

You never know what's going on in someone's life, she could be on the way back from the hospital having rushed there in the night. There are any number of reasons a decent person could get caught short in an emergency and not being their best at any moment. Or maybe this is her being her best and it's the first time she's been able to leave the house in weeks.
Or maybe she's going to a pyjama party.
Does it matter? It's clothes, you can't see her bits.

It seems as though they want to tell everyone they are bone idle and lazy.
Not something to boast about I would have thought.

It's grim. Some people don't have respect for themselves or others anymore.

You’ll get plenty of people on here saying “why does it bother you what other people are wearing”, etc. but you’re completely spot on.

It’s slovenly, slobbish, and bone idle, and symptomatic of the general decline in standards. And yes, I do judge people who can’t throw on a pair of jeans/trousers and a top before they go to the shop, despite the fact that it has no impact on me whatsoever.

And no, I don’t give a toss that I don’t know their circumstances. The only circumstances in which going to the shop in your pyjamas and a dressing gown might be acceptable is if the person is seriously mentally unwell.
