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.

I think there's a massive difference tbh, what someone does in their own home is their business surely?

Also @Berlinlover I too have seen it with my own eyes too here in Dublin, most recently in McDonalds (judge away folks 😂) It's not about race, it's an observation

There's always one!!

A bloke on a horse in the CBD and you in your nightdress? Are you sure it wasn't a rauchy dream?

There are signs up on the doors of a corner shop in my nearest city (in Ireland) asking people not to come in if they are wearing pyjamas. It doesn't stop them though.

I can't judge though; I once accidentally turned up at work wearing my slippers. At least it gave the rest of the office a good laugh.

The lady in my local Post Office always has gloves on & I don't blame her, I would too no matter what (or who I was serving!) if I was handling the amount of money she & other workers handle throughout the day & I'm not even a germaphobe, I just hate the smell of coins etc..

This could have been me the other morning. I had a phone call in the night to say my mum was in hospital and it wasn’t looking good and I just ran out of the house. Luckily by the morning she was out of the danger zone so I drove home to get and shower and dressed etc… before going back. Needed petrol so stopped off and the pay at pump was broken so I had to go inside in my pyjamas. I’m not saying that this was what happened here but I am very careful to judge. You don’t know why someone is there and wearing what they are. To be honest even if they chose to do so. So what. It’s not impacting my life.

There has been a shift in nightwear and daywear stylings too.

I remember years ago Boden selling "baggies" for men as loungewear which were basically flannel pyjama bottoms worn with normal t shirts/jumper.

Then came all that velour juicy couture business, which was only a whisker away from velour pyjamas. Then at the more "tasteful" end, we started to get cashmere loungewear. And all the while gym kit was becoming mainstream clothing. All those little boys in football kit might as well be in their summer pjs. I mean what really distinguishes it from pull on pj shorts and a hanging t-short style pj top.

It takes very little time to throw on some clothes. Underwear. Jumper, jeans. Or top and skirt.
Slip on footwear.
Only a bit longer than putting on a dressing gown and slippers.
If you decide to put on a dressing gown you can put on underwear, jumper and jeans instead. If you can put on slippers you can put on slip on footwear, be that trainers or ballet flats.
People choose not to.

I just see it as attention seeking. These people never seem to look sheepish or slightly embarrassed. They usually strut around, with an attitude of ‘look at me…..’ I always think to myself that they’ve probably got new PJs and slippers for their birthday and want to show them off.

Lack of basic manners.

PJs are better than thin leggings stretched over someone's bum 🤮

And I turned up in mismatching brown shoes at work one day… oh how they laughed 🤣

Skin-tight skin-coloured leggings - that’s not something I’m keen to see !

There’s a good old fashioned word for this - slovenly. ‘Slatternly’ will do equally well.

What a load of bollocks.

Especially a colossally fat bum. There should IMO be a ‘public decency’ law against it.

They are too lazy or dysfunctional to dress themselves. There isn't really any other conclusion.

I wouldn't go out like that myself but I couldn't care less about how someone else dresses.

Way back in the day where I lived there were lots of women put all their makeup on in the morning and dressed up in their finest pyjamas and night wear and went out into the neighbourhood. You would see them, the good looking ones anyway, being chatted up by the local men. It was a bit of a social thing back then. Probably 90s.

What, you think leggings should be for slim people only?

Not necessarily- I used to go to the gym after working nights, shower and put my pjs on to go home in. So you can’t say who has or hasn’t washed.

Back in the 1990s when my DC was at an independent primary school, there was an American lady that would do the morning school run in her PJs every day. She also had her morning coffee in a drinks holder on the dashboard of her Range Rover (before it became a fairly common thing). She got my admiration for being so daring, the rest of us would be too embarrassed to show up at school like that. The family was extremely wealthy and she didn't work, unlike most of us who dropped DC on the way to the office.

A friend was telling us that a bloke on his driver awareness course got a rollicking for being in his pyjamas. I can't remember if he got refused to continue, or made to change into normal clothes 😂

PJ and d/g wearers anywhere other than their home are just lazy bastards. And probably waiting for someone to tut tut and god help you if they have something dangerous in the d/g pocket, or they have been gargling so their screaming voice can be heard in response. And Travellers are not a race. They just race the wrong way on the motorway and cause death and destruction, amongst other things. Fact.

No, but anyone with a colossal arse should have the decency to wear a long enough top to cover it, if they want to wear skin tight leggings.
