Women wearing pyjamas in broad daylight

    wtf - seriously - a couple of weeks back I saw two (presumably unemployed, dole collecting, mother's of five children) examples of this in Dublin. Id heard about this before but somehow avoided seeing it. Today in the Irish Times a picture showing Guards around an area where a murder had taken place - and low and behold - the little knacks in pyjamas in the background. This 'fashion' is just common laziness. Not only do these people scrounge a subsistance living off the state but they are also so lazy they could'nt be arsed putting on a pair of trousers or whatever. They would rather walk around like little dirt birds in pyjamas. It looks stupid......but I dont expect any of this section of society to read this as presumably they cannot afford an internet connection on their dole payments.....These women wearing pyjamas make me angry:mad: Very angry:mad::mad:

    As the Barenaked Ladies once said, "It's all been done".

    Quite recently too.

    Yes, women in pyjamas has caused quite a stir on boards before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Ah, ya see these species of wimmen all over the country. You forgot to mention the twinbaby carriage with frightfully ugly children and a Lidl bag hanging of the side.....................while they're wearing those gigantic hoop earrings and their "charge-sheet waiting to happen" boyfriend usually in-tow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭connundrum


    If they were wearing lingerie, now that'd be a different story.

    Unless they were fat messes. Beggars and chooses etc.

    I don't mind the odd pyjama decorated knack. Gives me something to point and laugh at whilst doing my shopping in Tesco.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    They're too busy to be dressing themselves.

    two classy ladies (plenty of curves) out in pj's having a good old chat for half a hour smoking away sat afternoon about 2pm...... o it drives me mad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters


    I regularly see 65 year old women walking around in shiny pajamas. Seems to be the fashion down at Connolly Station.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,528 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Yeah good sweeping generalisation. It's a fashion. Just because you don't wear it doesn't mean it should be banned. How can you hate someone for wearing certain clothes? Are they "knacks"? All of them? Maybe they have no pretentions to must have the latest fashion and be "cool". Whew look at me! Give me pyjama wearing company than those type of shallow materialistic people any day of the week.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,743 ✭✭✭funk-you


    What worries me is if they're too lazy to get dressed in the morning they're probably too lazy to wash their va-jay-jay.

    What do you wear that's so f*cking awesome then, darkman2?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,632 ✭✭✭darkman2


    Presumaby they use PJays going to bed? - so what do they do in the morning - they have a second pair? Or do they just get up out of bed and walk out the door? Im a bit concerned about their hygiene.

    That's a very interesting topic. Can unemployed people claim a free broadband connection? And of course a pc/laptop to go along with that. I would say it is very possible.

    I think i'll stay away form your "middley" area if that's an attitude they share.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,257 ✭✭✭Love2love


    Nah its not about laziness, I seen a couple of them around and their hair and make-up is always perfect. They seem to spend alot of time getting ready. Its just a fashion no matter how ridiculous it looks to the rest of us. And its always with a pair of Ugg boots. That's why I never wear my Ugg's anymore.:)

    Well, if you want to stay in the conveyor belt of fashion AND hygiene then I highly recommend this:

    Well my response obviously indicates that i would indeed have no problem talking to people whether or not they are "in" your fashion or not. A few wear the same here around where i live. They are clean and shock horror for you their parents work their asses off.

    Tesco... lol.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭PurpleBerry


    Now, people tend to use this terminology

    "Wimmen goin' 'round in PJs jurin' da day"

    But does that mean if you came across a gaggle of girls wearing pyjamas, say, to a late showing at the cinema, then that'd be okay?



    Does it mean that I can nip to the local Centra in my jammies, as long as it's 9pm or so?

    Obviously not hard enough....they could go the extra mile and put on a pair of trousers. Its not as difficult as it sounds. Pyjama's = laziness as far as im concerned.

    Depends. Maybe they have pyjamas specifically for going outside in which case they have to put them on and take off whatever they were sleeping in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 137 ✭✭Eoin087


    Typical Irish attitude! What's next on the "my life is such a misery I need something that is completely harmless and doesnt effect me in any way to complain about?":rolleyes:

    Rollers seem to be making a comeback. In my youth every woman had her head spiked with rollers and covered by a big headscarf. Now I'm seeing them on the Red Line Luas.

    sexy, huh?

    'Skangers' - Pyjamas, bleached-blonde hair and large hoop earrings are popular with howiyas (females). Courtesy of wiki link above.


    Fact is it IS a class thing whether the politically correct here like it or not. In the real world the pyjama wearing element are uneducated, lazy, unmotivated, desperate, poor, live in council housing, usually in either Inner City Dublin or places like Ballymun, Tallaght or Finglas, live on dole handouts and have 10 kids for child benefit so they can have a drinking session at the weekends. The lowest of the low. Why would any self respecting girl/woman want to be associated with that social grouping? They are automatically seen as wasters and no hopers when they wear pyjama's. Thats why they dont.

    I have some friends who do this, well only one of them still really does it, far as I'm aware, well I've seen it done, they would have showers and put on fresh pair, do make up and hair etc.
    I wouldn't do it now, but I've no problem with getting into a car with a hoodie on over them if I've stayed in a friends house and I was getting a life home, but tbh my parents would kill me if they even knew this.

    Not all of them though. Just admit that. Also let them wear what they will. It's only clothes, don't be offended by them. There's nothing PC about wondering why you give off the impression your saying all of them are one thing. Certianly no PC from me.

    I argue against high immigration. If you want real PC take on them discussions. :p

    Its not a fact. It's you judging people on what they wear which I know everyone does, including myself, but from first hand experience my friends are all lovely hard working people, who have jobs and don't sponge off the state.
