    I work in a bar/ nice restaurant and it drives me nuts when people come in in pjs or sweats. Walmart, cool...McDonald's, whatever, post office whatever....I can't do it but to go into a nice sit down restaurant wearing pjs is wrong....honestly I see it as disrespectful to both the establishment and the other patrons.

    I think people need to get dressed before they go in public.

    Example: your looking for a job and you were at the store at your pajamas and guess what you have an interview Monday.. Well guess who's behind you in the grocery store buying milk, your potential employer..well, you don't know you go in for the interview and he/she recognizes you from the store..because you were wearing pajamas and that potential boss would be like that's not how i want my company represented. If she's to lazy to get dressed to go to the store she might be to lazy to get up and come to work looking professional or appropriately dressed..

    You never know who you might run into.. Now I'm not saying get dolled up to go too the, store, I'm saying, get dressed.. Jeans tshirts.. Even workout clothes is better than pajamas,if worn properly.

    I would never do this. Sure it is comfortable. There is a time and place for PJ's. Not public attire.

    I've done it a few times before. Usually when I'm not feeling well & have been in bed all day or something & end up having to run to the store because I ran out of meds or juice or needed something quick to eat. PJ pants & a jacket. It's not like it's an ideal way to go out, but usually at that point I didn't even want to go out in the first place & it would just be for 5 minutes or something.

    I hate to see PJs in public but it's a very regular thing over here in Australia:grumble:

    I sleep naked so it's not an issue with me, I have got to get dressed before I leave the house :blushing: I'm not inflicting my nightwear on anyone!!!:laugh:

    #2 - Dressing well is not about trying to impress other people. It's about having a sense of pride in yourself. If you don't think how you present yourself speaks volumes about who you are, you're living in denial.

    Intelligence, success, sense of humor, strength and compassion = sense of pride

    Jeans, suits, makeup, high heels, sweaters =/= sense of pride

    I work from home. I don't have to dress up for work so I don't.Not every person is so vain about their appearance. *gasp* I don't wear makeup everyday. My husband thinks I'm beautiful without it. I don't give a darn what other people think.

    Side note: Wearing PJs does not mean you didn't shower. Some people take a shower in the evening due to limited time in the morning.

    I have worn PJ's in public from time to time....

    If I am home for the night, and realize I need to run to the corner store for a bag of milk, I am going in my PJ's

    In fact, I even wore them to work last Wednesday, lol - just the bottoms, I wear a uniform shirt.....

    Meh, it happens....I do not do it everyday, but once and a while, it just makes life easier.....who cares!

    Wait .. whats a bag of milk?

    Milk.....in a bag....in three bags actually....it's a Canadian thing :wink:

    NEVER EVER wear pjs in public. Once you do, you've said "that's it, I've given up".

    It's not hard to invest a little effort, people.

    THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Stereotyping: a tool for simple minds to approximate the complexity of the real world.

    That made me chuckle as it was stereotyping those who stereotype. :drinker:

    Tough crowd.
    Good, someone likes irony. :drinker:

    Be sure to tip your waitress.

    I see people at my work all the time in pj's. I really don't understand it. I find it kinda gross and very slobby. No adult man or woman should ever go out in public in spongebob squarepants pants.

    I think its completely unacceptable, really clothing is not that hard to put on! Nothing simpler than jeans and a t-shirt only takes two minutes to get dressed and little to no thought. Unless your house has caught on fire and you ran out in your pajamas and are at the store to buy some new clothes to wear then there is no reason to be roaming around in public in them. On a similar note I must stress....leggings are NOT pants. If your top does not fully cover your bottom than you require more than a pair of leggings. Nothing worse than the I am going to bend over in my leggins and now they are stuck between my butt cheeks so you can watch my *kitten* as I walk around clueless, uck! I feel there needs to be a public service announcement about these things, when did this become acceptable by any standards?

    Haha.

    I'm a teacher and I can't wear pajamas out and about even on PAJAMA DAY!!
    My kindergarten students always ask why I didn't wear my pj's to school on such a special and cozy day and I just tell them that my pj's are old and nobody would want to see me in them.
    Some teachers DO wear their pj's to school on PJ DAY... even the principal does.... but I just can't.

    I was at a pizza place near San Diego a few weeks ago and in walked a customer to pick up her phone order... you guessed it... in her pj's!! The guys working were very professional with her, but, the minute she left they started rolling their eyes and asking each other wth that was all about? Hearing this, I said to them, "I think she just came from Wal-Mart." LMAO.

    People don't realize that others snicker and poke fun of them BEHIND THEIR BACKS. Of course not in front of them. At least people still TRY to APPEAR kind, caring, and accepting.

    Haha I am just too old-fashioned I guess - I might lay around the house all day in my PJs, but I seriously feel like a guilty piece of trash walking out to the mailbox at 3 pm in my PJs!! I have once or twice run out at 5 am in my robe & PJs to get creamer for the coffee... but NOT to the store - I went to my office which was vacant and in an unpopulated at that hour business district to get my creamer LOL!!!

    I know a lot of teens & younger folks think it's cool or at least acceptable to walk around in PJs these days... but I saw one of our teens at church in her PJs the other day and it bugged me so much... I know this girl has clothes. It wasn't youth sleepover night. No one else was in their PJs. They were obviously PJs. That bugged me as much as the girls who come to church practically wearing lingerie, and the guys with their pants hanging below their tushes. There are some places that just command the respect of putting clothes on. (Now my church IS casual, jeans and shorts etc are perfectly acceptable at any service... I just think "cover up the junk or goodies" and "not pajamas" should be understood by all..... But please forgive me for being at all judgemental about this!!)

    If I ever wore sweatpants/pj pants, it was because my jeans were too tight and uncomfortable. Get off your a$$es and move so you fit into your real clothes.
    I recently bought a pair of Hanes sweatpants to workout in at the gym but they are too tight. I guess I bought the wrong kind.. I'll go to Walmart later and get a pair of Tweetybird or smiley face fleece pj pants, put them on in the bathroom and finish my shopping. At least I'll fit in with the other people of walmart. Now that song is stuck in my head..

    After I was in a train crash I wore pj pants 24/7 because my knee was too swollen to get my jeans on and the brace stayed up better on the pj fabric. if I'm running to the grocery store really quick or running to go pick someone up and I'm already in my PJs I dont bother changing as long as my PJ's are appropriate for the weather and not lingerie type stuff.

    I also don't get the women who wear sweatpants with wording across the backside. Unless your backside is microscopic it doesn't need a billboard across it.

    Ad why is it the ones with the backside billboards usually have ample assets?

    My opinion is that it is a personal choice. If someone is comfortable wearing PJ's in public, I am okay with that.Then again, I am a pretty laid back person :)

    I am still somewhat uncomfortable in sweats in public but getting to like that more. Absolutely no PJs for me in public of course I usually sleep in the nude so definitely not going there.

    Of course I have seen plenty of people in public in PJs or sweats and don't judge them just feels wrong to me.

    Well...teenagers are a bit less aggravated by the whole concept. I'm 19 and I have absolutely no problem with it. I've gone outside in my PJs more times than I have in formal clothing.

    Which reminds me, I have to go to the grocery store right now. And I'm still in my PJs.

    I honestly see nothing wrong with it! I guess it just depends on how you were raised. I can remember several times growing up where my mom would go down to our little local store on the weekends in her pj's to grab something for breakfast. Every now and again when we are running late in the mornings I will take my kids to school in my pj's. When we lived in a colder state there were several times where either my husband or myself would go down to the the gas station to grab milk or bread at night or in the morning in our pj's and yes dare I say it slippers too!! I don't see why it matters if you are wearing flannel pj bottoms or just a pair of sweats. Both are comfortable and warm!

    I will admit, with our annual women's retreat coming up, I have been evaluating my PJs and shopping for a new pair (cuz most of my warm ones are waaaay too big now yay!!) - because the evenings on retreat are one big hilarious pajama party, and if any pictures get taken and posted on Facebook, I wanna be in some cute PJs! (after all I am one of the few single gals in my church ...maybe one of the few single guys will see those pix :wink: )
