Barefoot at Breakfast?

[Ladyhawke10]

Just wondering, do people get breakfast in PJs in the resort food courts (moderate, values) as well?

It's not a Southern thing. It's a lack of class thing.

I was about to say the same. Living in the south all my life - I have never seen that. In hotels here, people are dressed up, even for breakfast....unless they are a scallywag.

I was treated one morning by one whose PJ bottoms were just sheer enough to see that she wasn't wearing anything underneath. While it was certainly a treat for me, it was clearly not appropriate and I wish she'd dressed differently.

Gee, I hope that you are referring to the mom and not the kid.

I was just wondering about my question because it seems I've only heard about the PJs stuff in concierge or at deluxe hotels....I don't know if people have seen this in the food courts.

I've never seen the PJs thing outside of WDW!

It was a treat for you to see a little girl through her sheer clothing???

Gee, I hope that you are referring to the mom and not the kid.

Oh God, noooooooo, he made it clear that he was referring to the moms when he said "A few of the moms of my son's fellow kindergarteners drop off their kids wearing, well, whatever. Some wear ........." etc.

Ah the very subject DH and I were discussing last night. We were at the cinema and on our way home at midnight we stopped at a petrol station to get milk and because it was late, the main doors were closed so they serve through a little glass hatch (this is done for staff safety, I don't know it its done in the U.S.). There was a queue of about 5 or 6 people plus other people around getting petrol etc. Now, it's midnight in a brightly lit up busy petrol station and the woman in front of me in the queue was wearing silky pink pyjamas and slippers (she looked about 20, I might be more forgiving if she was elderly and ran out of food late at night). Ugh! It really grates on my nerves. It's one of my pet hates. It's one thing to go outside your hotel room to get a newspaper, but to appear in a restaurant or shop dressed like that is such bad manners.

So, believe me it's not a Southern thing. I see it more and more here where I live and I hate it.

You all need to be real careful




as it's a long fall off YOUR HIGH HORSE

So what as least they have something on .Here on the East coast we are use to being on the Boards with out shoes on .We are also use to seeing people wear almost nothing at all at the beach.

Some people are just not morning people and just want to relax .I get my Soda and DW coffee when we are at vacation in my sleepwear and a pair of slip-on shoes.

If you don't like it STOP STARING you know you are and wish you could be that comfortable and not so up-tight

I don't know if this accounts for all of it, but more and more I think younger generations (of which I'm a part) feel the appeal of wearing "cute" pajamas in public. When I was in high school we even had scheduled days (such as during homecoming, etc) to wear pajamas to school. Of course these were always substantial clothes- flannel pants, t-shirts and the like- never slinky nighties or anything. When I got to college we would sometimes wear pajamas to the dining hall, but always substantial ones again and of course we would wear proper shoes. I think the comfort came from living with all of these people in the dorms anyway. Would I ever go to a normal restaurant like that? Of course not. But I might venture out to the food court to grab food in full-covered pajamas, with shoes on of course. I think the problem is more with hygeine (bare feet) and modesty (amount of fabric, nothing silky, etc) than with pajamas per se. What I sleep in covers more than what I regularly see people wear in warm weather!

I'm apparently in the minority, but this would offend me much less than some of the "fully dressed" outfits you see in the parks. ****s, bellies, more skin that we should really see...

When we cruised the first time with our 1st baby, she wouldn't sleep. I found myself circling the decks of the Wonder with a sleepless child at 2, 3 am in my pj's. They are long pants & a long shirt & my flipflops.

It's not like he went out in his boxers, I wouldn't have thought twice about it.

I would agree with this- as well as the poster who brought up hygeine and modesty. I dislike seeing lack of proper undergarments, or supershort and supertight articles much much more. I think that the darker, less sheer and more "substantial" pants that could be worn as workout wear are ok. The sheer or baby-patterned pants are tacky.

The bigger problem in the OP's case, I feel, is the lack of footwear. It's dangerous and gross to go around barefoot. Is it really that difficult to slip on a pair of flip flops?

That person without shoes should have been asked to return with shoes on.

The trend of wearing pajama pants out side the house is definately not only southern. The same thing is happening here up north. Flannel p.j.s' are seen out at the store, and once, I even saw them paired with fuzzy slippers. Every generation has its "zubbas" (remember them?). How gross were they? Before that it was just as innapropriate to wear sweat pants out side of the gym (which I still agree about even though some work out attire is really cute).
I agree with the posts that say that flannel sleepwear is almost more pleasing to the eyes than some of the micro tops/shorts seen around WDW. It is strange how so many people don't care and look like slobs.

ITA! I live in MD and I've never seen anyone at the store or school or bus stop in pjs in our area. I'd have to be rude and tell them to put some proper clothes on.

I live near Baltimore and sorry but wearing pjs out in public is plain tacky. Thankfully I haven't seen it in my area. If one isn't a morning person then stay home until they awake.

Aw ... give the moms a break. For many SAHMs KIndergarten is the first time they need to get their kids up and out the door by a certain time. My DD has to be at school at 7:40 AM, which was the crack of dawn for both of us. At least the kids are dressed and at school. Who cares how the moms are dressed for the ride over?

I can see your point. Throwing on an old pair of sweatpants is a lot more time-consuming than keeping on those peek-a-boo sheer harem pants.

It's January. The SAHMs have had 4 months to get it right. No excuse. I shouldn't have to feel like I want to shield my child's eyes at his own school.

Reminds me of the 3 years I lived in Cleveland's eastern suburbs. We sometimes got a few inches of lake-effect snow every day for weeks. I used to hate it when I asked someone (especially people who'd lived there their whole lives!) why they were late for work and their excuse was it was snowing. Yeh, it was snowing where I lived, too, but I had enough sense and responsibility to wake up 15 minutes earlier and allow for the extra time needed.

a wee bit off topic but still in the same respect i seen a man in a grand floridain room hallways "running" in his ity bitty white underwear

Funny to see but VERY rude all at the same time!

I just finished an excellent book by Lynne Truss called Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door

It addresses this issue with humor and intelligence. Folks today have no boundaries. She talks about cell phones, clerk rudeness, demanding customers and inappropriate attire.

I try not to pay attention, tend to my own behavior and not react. But it IS hard sometimes!!!!

You got no argument here. I can't believe some people and I'm seeing it more and more. It's funny, my DH won't even go outside with sweatpants on. He has to be in at least jeans and t-shirt or he don't set a foot out the door.

Bolding mine. So, we're all supposed to be grateful that you didn't just show up naked? I would also suggest that people staring might be a consequence of you choosing to wear what you do where you do. I could make a similar arguement that if you don't want people staring, then modify where you choose to wear what you do. Everyone has to decide what consequences they can live with due to their choices, but rest assured there are always consequences, good and bad. If it is within your rights to wear what you choose where you choose, then it is within someone else's rights to stare if they feel it's inappropriate.

Now, having said that, what someone is wearing rarely bothers me as long as I don't have to see body parts hanging out everywhere, especially while I'm eating. There are absolutely certain things that as a paying dining customer, I should not have to just get over.

The below post pretty much sums up how I feel exactly.

I think it is a Southern thing, or maybe a tourist area thing? I live in a Virginia Beach and it is not uncommon to see people in their pajamas at 7-11 the grocery store etc. I don't do it, but I have seen enough of it that it no longer grabs my attention.

I dunno I'm up north and my Aunt used to drop her kids off for school in her robe, slippers and big pink curlers...until she ran off into a ditch in front of the school and mortified my cousins

I see some kids around in jammie bottoms, flannel type. There was a guy in college who never wore anything on the bottom but boxer shorts so he was in the cafeteria, class, the store...everywhere, in well, underwear...and we live NORTH of Chicago. I agree though in a restaurant the "no shoes, no shirt, no service" thing should apply. Although some people's jammies probably cover more than other's people's clothes do, barefoot in common areas is just plain gross especially where food is served
