PJ's in public?
Replies

The only thing I've seen out in public that has offended me recently is my neighbor coming out of his house in his boxer shorts and house slippers...nothing else....mind you, I've never met the guy before...his wife and daughter were standing in my driveway talking about our dogs...and he comes out to join us all...0

Yep.... you definately don't live in rural Iowa, do you...0

I wouldn't do it, but I don't really care if other people do.0

Totally read that title wrong, now I am disappointed.
And girls in PJ's for some reason is so very sexy... like the photo alexbusnello just put up.0 -
Pajamas should be worn at home and lets keep scrubs at the workplace, please. Its tacky.
so I should have to hide on my way to and from work because of what I am required to wear to work?0 -
If it's a lace teddy I think it's ok.
^^^This is true. I often wear lingerie to go grocery shopping. But sloppy PJs? No way.0 -
i love this thread.
People who do not care what you think have ruined your day by not attempting to impress you.
Here you went and got dressed, probably in nice new clothes, to fit your nice new body that you've been working so hard for. You did your hair. You checked your reflection. Put on your face, some deodorant, probably even cologne. You're wearing nice shoes. You don't have dirt under your fingernails.
and that guy in WalMart in that picture up there
just doesn't give two fVcks. he has power over you and he doesn't even care. He's the honey badger of your shopping experience. He's the forum troll of the real life.
get over yourselves, LOL. pjs are seriously your first world problem?
I you. ^^^
As I was reading through this I was gearing up to say something of the same nature. Some people are so pathetic, as long as someone isn't smeared in *kitten* or walking around naked, why the flip do any of you care what they look like? Deal with your own issues, and quit worrying about what other people's issues might be just because they wore their PJ's in public.0 -
Laziness at best? Giving up on life?
You are making judgements based on a piece of clothing!!
To those who can tell the difference between "Trying to be cute" and a medical condition. Let me tell you you cannot. I have been sick for the past 8 year with a Chronic illness, and oftentimes at my worst, friends tell me how great I look.
Well, as long as the pajamas are being worn by someone in pain, but if you are just comfy...**** YOU!
Why are people so angry at menial things?
To answer creech's question though - I have no problem wearing PJ's in public! Though I agree with another poster here, I don't think I'd feel comfortable wearing a nightgown!0 -
It doesn't make someone a complete slob or lazy just because they're wearing their pajamas in public. I've done it plenty of times and I don't care. I don't want to put on makeup or get dressed after 8 PM just because I need some milk, toilet paper, a snack.
Don't say "I don't want to get dressed to go buy something after 8 PM" right after claiming you aren't lazy. I'm pretty sure that's the definition of lazy.0 -
I wear my jammies out sometimes. I don't understand why anyone would be bothered by my appearance so I don't change if I just need to run out for a bit. If people are offended when they look at me (which is ridiculous), they can look away.
Part of it is laziness too. My sister called the other day when I just got in the door to ask if I could pick her up and bring her over. I had just spent a minute getting one of my feet out of my high top cons so I just left with one foot shoed and one foot socked.0 -
Also, I'd much rather a guy wear pj's or sweats in public than skinny jeans.
Ha ha, so true!
I've just been out in my PJ's and slippers, I didn't get out of the car though. I'd feel silly being seen out in public in my pink checked PJ bottoms but each to their own!0 -

So much wrong with this insipid post ...
#1 - It doesn't ruin anyone's day to see people wearing pajamas in public. At most it's a minor annoyance. Irritating but insignificant, like an insect.
#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.
#3 - Nobody said anything about dressing to the nines to go to Walmart ... just that it might be more appropriate to take a few seconds to switch out your flannel pants for a pair of jeans if it suddenly occurs to you that you need some toilet paper.
#4 - No one wearing pajamas and slippers to Walmart has power over me or anyone else. I think that's pretty obvious.0 -
I am not saying I am pro/con PJ's in public...but...I work in the medical field, wear scrubs to work. What is the difference between wearing scrub pants in public vs "pajama bottoms"? Most of my pajama bottoms are nicer and of better quaility than my work clothes...
My hubby doesn't change out of his scrubs after I pick him up from work to go have dinner or go grocery shopping. And before the germaphobes go completely ape crap, he works in a sterilized OR. When I worked @ the hospital, I wouldn't change either. Unless of course we're covered in blood or other bodily fluids. But for the most part, we're sanitized from head to toe given the department we work/worked in.
And plus 1 on the crappy quality of scrubs. My sweat pants, which is what I usually sleep in, are 100x better quality!0 -
The jokes on all of you because my yoga pants are my pajamas!
THIS! Thank you!0 -

The person comfortable enough with themselves to be comfortable in public
has better self esteem
and more self confidence
than ANY individual who wanders around obsessed about what everyone else is wearing.

judging other people based on their choice in fabric coverings for their body "speaks volumes" about a person's character

I feel the need to point out a few things that make this whole thing even more ridiculous...
The OP stated that she had just changed into her PJ's...so from this I deduce they were clean. This makes the "anyone wearing PJ's in public is a dirty slob" agrument kinda invalid.
Many, many people I know do not wash their jeans every time they wear them. In fact, many high end clothing companies reccommend you do NOT wash them with every wear to maintain color and appearance. So people are already walking around in dirty *kitten* pants.
Yoga pants or sweats are ok but flannel pants aren't? Can I wear a tee shirt? If we are getting techinical I sleep in my tee shirts...and go out in public in them too!
Lastly...I love that everyone is so dang judgemental based on other people's clothing choices. You don't know people's circumstances. I had a friend whose house burned down in the middle of the night. All she had on was her pajamas. She had to go shopping for new clothing as is...jammies and dirty from watching her house burn down. She looked like hell and got dirty looks...none of which was her fault.
I don't care what people chose to wear out in public...it simply doesn't affect me.0 -
So people can't go shopping in jammies cause that means they haven't showered, but they can go shopping in exercise clothes? Pretty sure they're going to be a lot smellier and less clean after exercising than after sleeping
Wearing jammies out in public means you have a lack of respect for yourself? Not really. It means that either I'm a) tired, b) hungover, c) comfortable enough with myself to wear what I want and damn what anyone else thinks... if I'm happy enough to wear pyjamas then I sure as hell am not going to get dressed just to appease some judgemental people
I keep a clean bed, I wash my pyjamas regularly. They're probably cleaner than my outdoor shoes, jeans, outdoor jacket, etc. which have many more opportunities to collect grime than my pyjamas do!0 -

Hell yes! (to the response I mean, I LOVE THIS!!)0 -
Pajamas should be worn at home and lets keep scrubs at the workplace, please. Its tacky.
so I should have to hide on my way to and from work because of what I am required to wear to work?
Absolutely not, you should not have to hide when in scrubs BUT, I have to say, it kinda grosses me out when someone who works in an environment requiring scubs because they work around chemicals (in a lab) or sick people (hospital or doctors office) and they do not change before coming to my house. It's germs germs and more germs that are being brought into my environment that do not belong there. That is my one and only beef with the scrubs issue.
Sorry, don't mean to offend! :-)0 -

I dunno. isn't a hospital the most effective place to pick up a MRSA infection? Even in a "sterilized OR" ...0 -
My husband is a Marine. I've been "taught" what to wear outside the house. PJ's is not acceptable. I would get in rather big trouble if I wore them on base. Same with shirts that are to low, or skirts that are to high... I'm not even suppose to wwear sweat pants or joga pants it's against their "rules".
But I don't find you odd, those are "bed" clothing.0 -
With you on the PJs.
Also won't wear sweats in public, or yoga pants unless I'm going to and from the gym or to and from work.
The one that absolutely gets me the most is teenaged/young adult women that will spend nearly two hours getting ready in the morning .. and then leave the house in pjs or pyjama pants. :grumble:0 -
Agreed. Always dress as if you'll run into your ex. No PJ's in public!0
-
I went to the local shop once to get some beer in just my boxers!!! There and back was about a mile and a half and it was about 3pm on a Saturday afternoon! It was a bet. I've yet to lose a bet! LOL
So, PJ's? That's nothin' 8-)0 -

Not offended...I personally think this whole thread is silly!
And I understand the thought of it bringing germs into your area. But again, you are picking up those germs at the store, mall, church etc...I maintain a much "cleaner" environment at work then most people do in their own homes. Still, I don't go rubbing up on strangers in my scrubs. Me running in to grab some TP and wine is not going to infect anyone.0 -
Seriously?
Have any of you ever been clinically depressed? How about too fat to fit in ANY other clothes you own? How about literally so broke that you can't do laundry? How about so busy from schoolwork or taking care of your kids that you don't have time to do laundry? Had insomnia so bad that you felt sick to your stomach?
There are about four billion reasons why someone is wearing pajamas in public. If you don't know that person's story then you have no right to judge them.
The amount of anger you are all showing on something so menial is downright ridiculous. I'm really surprised that you are all in agreement in this. It's completely childish.
Don't act like you're so high and mighty. Someday you might be there.0 -
What irks me is when people show up to court in PJs and house shoes.. Like WTH..
"ummm.. thats not our client Your Honor!" *slaps forehead*0
