Bit of a bull and a cow going on about people going to the shop in their pyjamas. Are we to assume that if these people are still in their pyjamas that they have got out of bed, not washed or changed and gone straight to the shop.

I suppose the question to be asked is would you want to be downwind of a congregation of unwashed minge at the check out whilst queuing to pay for your pain au chocolat?

    ....... I suppose the question to be asked is would you want to be downwind of a congregation of unwashed minge at the check out whilst queuing to pay for your pain au chocolat?

    Ah.... classic! ROFL!!
    I've seem them as well, usually in a dressing gown with a Marlboro between their fingers!!!

    I've had pyjama days when it's my first day off after a 7,8, or even 10 day straight work week, and I don't have to go out anywhere. But if I do have to go out for groceries I have to be clean and tidy, even to the local corner shop.
    Pyjamas shouldn't be worn anywhere outside the front door! IMHO

    Even worse if they are sporting a pair of those poxy croc things on their feet.
    Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)
    Ribble Gran Fondo, Campagnolo Centaur (winter bike)
    Van Raam 'O' Pair
    Land Rover (really nasty weather :lol: )

    Quite right Frank! Last thing you need when you're looking forward to that pork pie is the smell of a stinking, dirty doner kebab in front of you.
  • Can't help but feel the issue is the quality of the gift rather than the wrapping

    It's the gift that chooses the wrapping.
    Says it all really.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    What do you do when laid in bed and your other half starts getting frisky, insist on a scrub down with carbonic soap.
    Or how you suppose people in cafes feel when a group of sweaty cyclists sit down next to them.
    The issue is people going out in their night attire not how they smell.

    Yup - next my local Waitrose will be booting the cycling club out of their store cafe.

    Wasn't there an issue with parents being banned from taking children to and from school in pyjamas? Remember reading a while ago about it. Setting bad example to the kids etc. How can anyone be so sodding lazy? Can't they wait to get back to Jeremy Kyle or something?

    I mean honestly, if you're going outside for a bit, just put some jogging bottoms and sweatshirt on!!

    Really, how much f*cking effort does that take?

    Am I alone in not being bothered in the slightest by people shopping in pyjamas. Why does it matter?

    normally I would agree, but I have chased a fox down the road once in my pyjamas (I was wearing them not the fox) .... 3am in the morning the little fceker kept screetching away in the garden ... threw a couple of rocks at it and it just came back 3 seconds after I went back in the house ..... so got mega pissed at it and chased it for some 1/2 mile

    man they can run fast

    I was at the Premiere Inn Stratford for Ride London, and a whole family (mum, dad, son, daughter) came down to breakfast in PJ's and dressing gowns/slippers.

    They were very nicely dressed to be fair (and possibly from abroad) but it was still so wrong!

    Unwashed, non underpants c0ck and Crocs in Tescos is several levels down though (where is Judge Dredd when you need him?).

    The sports guy on BBC Breakfast was sticking up for pajama shopping today ........ as he sat there in suit and tie :roll:

    Its all about standards (double standards where BBC are concerned) :wink:

    No, your not, tbh does it matter? what matters is your own standards, not other peoples.

    Monday night I went off to mcdonalds dressed in flip flops, grey baggy jim shorts and a puffer jacket. A rare assortment of attire but since I had just jumped out the shower and my daughter did the daddy bit despite being 16 I went off to get some supper for madam and her fella.

    The drive through was shut which meant I walked into McDonald's. The strange thing is no one gave me a second look and I didn't seem out of place.

    Strange times in Telford.......

    what about if you get up at 4:30 .. put on your bibshorts + top and your cycling shoes .... do a quick 2hr blast and stop at Tesco on the whay home to pick up a couple of croissants ?

    unwashed - check
    No underpants - check
    c0ck - check
    crocks - no .. cycling shoes

    that would probably be deemed acceptable. ......... so one would assume its not the physicality of what they are doing that's wrong .. after all we are both unwashed and don't have underpants

    so it must only be another case of intolerance of anyone that does something different to how you would do it ?

    by the way I think they are dirty common scum .... but then I am an elitist snob :mrgreen:

    I think that anecdote says more about McDonalds and its clientele than Telford :wink:

    She would probably be encouraged to look around near the freezer compartments if her top was a bit clingy

    Not that she has any t:ts of course
  • The lowest I've stooped is wearing slippers on a long haul flight to Denver, they were/are The North Face tent shoes though so probably cost more than the entire Tesc PJ ensemble.

    Yes, it does matter, other people's standards matter. Some people don't give a monkeys about anything, they don't care about themselves or their surroundings. The same people that don't care about themselves really aren't going to give a toss about anyone else, they dump litter, their kids are allowed to run riot and have no discipline, they are quite happy to sponge off the state as they see no point in working when they can get money for doing nothing and who knows what else. Yes, standards do matter as the lack of them has an impact on other people.

    My missus is not averse to popping into the local offie of a morning to grab some milk or whatever in pj bottoms and a baggy top no bra, the guys in there call her Tits McGee because of it. It might be lazy, but who's really more lazy? Her for not getting changed into something more suitable, or me sending her off down the offie in the first place because I'm hungover and cant be bothered :lol:
