Are pyjamas worse than camel toe leggings or 'shorts' that are so short you can see a girls fallopian tubes? I don't think so.

A lot worse. But only if she's hot.

Thats a bit fcuking harsh to be fair...ive seen it in more affluent areas too!

In Singapore i think it was, Pyjama's were symbolic of wealth as people couldn't afford to wear clothes with the purpose of them being for bed. SO as Singapore's wealth was spread through the lower classes with economic boom, people who were then able to afford and purchase pyjama's started wearing them day to day to demonstrate wealth, as one would wear an expensive suit here, or designer attire.

However, thankfully, a lot of people in Singapore retain an element of taste and have made known their dissatisfaction of seeing people around town in pyjamas.

I don't think it's harsh at all. Of course there'll always be exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking it will be the skangers doing this 99% of the time.

and yet their ad had someone (man) waking up in the middle of the night and heading to tesco in his Pyjamas for something.

It's a dirty habit, carried out by dirty people. I pity their children. I know if my mam or dad when to the shop in their PJ's when I was younger (or even now),, we would have looked at having them committed.

As long as people wash I don't care. No excuse for poor hygiene.

entropi · 19-06-2013 11:49AM

These people clearly don't know about online shopping, possibly the internet itself.

They burn my eyes and send me to the depths of utter depression.

Of course. And total transparency. Like, if a woman is going shopping for lingerie she should do it naked. Just as you go to a restaurant when hungry or a pub when thirsty.

Witnessed it in my local Aldi a week or so ago,2 women got out of a hiace in pyjamas,slippers & one had a dressing gown then headed into the store to do their shopping-it was 2.30 in the afternoon.

It became such an epidemic in one convenience shop in the town that the owner has banned anyone from entering wearing pyjamas.

Pjs no but comfort ya. Trainers uggs or shoes than slippers. Suitable footwear. And we thought falling or skinny showy or baggy trousers or pants track suits were bad!

Yes. A tux for men and ballroom gowns for women (or a ballroom gown for men and tuxes for women, whatever you're into)

Pyjama wearers should be executed on the spot :pac:

The King of Moo · 19-06-2013 08:38PM

Yeah there should be dress codes for when people are shopping.

I can't stand the sight of people wearing jeans in public. It just shows a lack of respect, wearing clothes for dirty work like that. Could they not be bothered changing into dress clothes?

It's the same thing with people wearing runners on their feet. They're for running, for f*ck's sake!

Why can't people use clothes only for the specific functions they were designed for!? It f*cking disgusts me otherwise!

I do and during the good weather recently, lots of people have been complaining about the riff raff walking around topless and in vests/wifebeaters

Snobs should be banned from the planet.

That analogy doesn't fly. You look like a tramp when wearing pyjamas in public, no two ways about it.

More attention should be focused on the causes behind why someone has such a lack of initiative and focus in their life that they consider it acceptable to appear in public wearing their PJ's

This is incorrect, I know a few people who wear pj's out and about. They are NOT the same ones they sleep with. They have wardrobes filled with different PJ's and it is some sort of fashion statement.
I don't really get it.
But although it might LOOK lazy, more often than not, some thought has actually been put into it S:

I don't really care what people wear when shopping so long as it isn't fur. I'd be much happier if shops didn't allow people to let their kids bring bikes/prams/rollerblades/hurleys/footballs/scooters etc into shops. They are shops not fricking creches people.

Do you mind leather?

A year or so ago tesco in fairview would not serve anyone in a school uniforms, Now it by chance I was in the shop at the same time as my young lad was refused service. I spoke to the manager and asked why he said they were short staffed... lol... Great way to treat their future customers...
We don't shop with them now.

Legs.Eleven · 19-06-2013 09:55PM

I just remembered that I used to go to the ATM and the Off License downstairs in me jim jams when I was a student living in Phibsborough back in the day.....huh!

hadepsx · 19-06-2013 10:01PM

whatever about this 'ban', what about them people with their heads in the clouds who just abandon their trolleys in the middle of the isle, very fustrating, ban them feckers

There's many ways about it. That's your opinion. I might think that people wearing baseball caps look like tramps, but I couldn't care less if people wear them.

ToddyDoody · 20-06-2013 12:10AM

What if I wear spray-on clothing?

Norwesterner · 20-06-2013 01:28AM

Imagine if a man stood outside the school in his pyjamas.
How long before he's on the sex offenders list?

I hope to God you're a middle-aged woman from upper-class rural England who speaks in received pronunciation and teaches equestrian arts by day while moonlighting as a elocution instructress, because I honestly can't think of any other reason why you'd use such absurdly pompous language.

Were you alright, man? Did you need to call an ambulance or were you able to walk home yourself after that ordeal?

BerryBlue · 20-06-2013 03:11AM

I've seen people dressed so woefully, that they would actually look better in pyjamas!! Seriously people - leggings (while comfy and a nice alternative to tights) CANNOT pass as trousers/pants/jeans!

BerryBlue · 20-06-2013 03:14AM

On the other hand.... I have when either drunk/ hungover/ in a different country - actually popped to the shops in some form of sleepware & twas weirdly liberating - maybe we should have a national pyjama day????

Irish Guitarist · 20-06-2013 05:03AM

Plenty of things annoy me in supermarkets. How people dress isn't one if those things. If they're going to throw people out for anything, throw them out for blocking up the aisles or for letting their annoying little brat cycle around on a trike (I've seen this happen a lot lately).

I rarely see anyone walking around in pyjamas here apart from a woman and her daughters that wear matching pyjamas, dressing gowns and slippers shopping in Aldi. It looks a bit odd admittedly but it doesn't bother me.
