Barefoot at Breakfast?

[Ladyhawke10]

Sorry that happened about the deer accident!

It seemed like this man didn't have any reason for being out there in his PJs other than he was treating the hotel's breakfast area as his living room. Maybe some people see their hotel room as the bedroom and the common areas as the rest of their house--like the pool area as well...

I guess that could go along with the bathing suits without coverups in the hotel lobby and general areas. It would be the same thing if someone stopped by for food on the way to their room straight from the pool

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I have no problem with men wearing speedos or women wearing bikinis. Doesn't bother me if there are walking to their room. What I was saying is I don't want to see it at a restuarant establishment. Yes, I do think in that instance you should cover up!!!!!

I'm guilty of wearing flannel/fleece pj pants outside of my home - mainly to the mailbox stand across the street or while in the car to drive my kid to the school bus stop on cold mornings. This is how I dress while I'm at home all day. I'm recently retired military and am thoroughly enjoying wearing comfortable clothes (and NO combat boots;o) for a change! I do NOT wear my pj pants to a grocery store or anywhere else I'd have to get out of my car and/or where anybody would see what I have on my bottom half;o) I don't want to embarrass my kid at the bus stop and robes are a definite NO-NO outdoors!

I see kids/teens (mostly girls) wearing pj pants all over the place. Grown women look ridiculous wearing flannel pants with puppies, cartoon characters, kittens, etc., on them out in public. However, as other posters have mentioned, I'd much rather see pj pants on ANYBODY over some of the definitely offensive clothing (and, lack there-of) clothes I've seen on some. I don't care what age people are - girls or guys - FAT isn't cute hanging over/out/or showing through clothes!

I understood what you were saying...I was making a new point related to one that I've seen made before on these boards. Personally, I think bathing suits and speedos are for the pool area, and when guests walk through common areas, like the lobby (even if just to their rooms) they should have on cover-ups. Especially so if someone stops by a restaurant or food court on the way...

Opps...Sorry. I guess I am the one who misunderstood. * feeling stupid*

That is just tooooo funny! And that is exactly how I feel when I see stuff like that too...EWWWWW, and it's the last thing I want to feel when I'm eating.

I do find it kind of odd, but not entirely unexpected, that no one who said that they should be able go anywhere they please in their bathing suits, bathrobes, barefeet, etc has ever come back and answered my question from several pages ago, so I'll ask it again because I really am trying to understand.

Would you actually go to a restaurant in your hometown dressed like that, or do you think it's okay at WDW because your room is nearby and that somehow makes it different?

 

[aplejax76]

Dizneyfantic..... Interesting question.

I would think the majority would not do it at home. I know that I always cover up when I'm done swimming. Although I think that might have something to do with my big fat........ Well you get the point.

My guess would be no (they wouldn't do this in their hometown) because it seems like the hotel=personal house phenom (lobby is big living room that one can walk through in bathing suits on the way to room or restaurants are eateries okay for PJs/ barefeet, etc. while rooms are bedrooms). It may have something to do with not having to get in a car to go anywhere so PJs seem as good as anything...I dunno, I could be way off, that's just what it seems like.

The flannel pj's in public thing started as a college fad; the Chronicle of Higher Ed. had a big story on it a few months ago. It is spreading to teens now; still a fad. I don't think there is anything really regional about it, except insofar as it is influenced by climate. It is popular at my son's Catholic grade school for the girls to wear character PJ pants under their skirts on their way to/from school in cold weather; they have to take them off before entering the classroom, so you see them all in the hallway after bell shimmying out of them. (Oddly, though girls are allowed to wear long uniform trousers just like the boys, they don't; they all stick strictly to skirts all year, and keep warm with the PJ's in the winter.)

Once I was in the concierge lounge at the Chicago Hyatt and encountered a woman literally sprawled out on one of the sofas in a hotel bathrobe, lots of jewelry, and nothing else. She was having coffee. About an hour later I encountered her again as she was leaving the hotel--in a cab, wearing an an extremely revealing cocktail dress. It appeared she was not a guest herself, only the um, "guest" of a guest.

I confess, I'm a barefooter from childhood, and I take my shoes off once I reach my hotel room. I don't bother to put them back on if I am going to the pool or running to the ice machine, or even if I need to visit the front desk late at night because I don't want to wait for them to send someone up. I don't go out in my nightgown &/or robe, though.

I think "jingle jangles" might also be appropriately applied to women who wear way to small bikini tops or tank tops as clothing.

I vote to submit "jingle jangles" as a new entry in the Oxford dictionary. Gets right to the point with no vulgarity!!!

Jingle Jangles

 

[disneyfreakjackie]

Oh for the love of GOD!! Get over yourself! I have stayed in plenty of concierge levels and see plenty of folks in their jammies getting breakfast. WHO CARES?! How do you ever go to the pools, or the parks? I'll dress in anything I darn well please and have been known to trek down to the lounge.....*gasp* barefoot!!! I'm fixin to add insult to injury here....I own DVC too. Can you BELIEVE the people they let in?!!!!

 

[Tarheel Tink]

It is so NOT a Southern thing (very insulting!). Like it has been said before, a class thing.

Someone dropped off their pet to our animal hospital and was in their pajamas and fuzzy slippers- but she was a notorious local crackhead. I've seen someone in the grocery store in pajamas but dismissed it as mental illness.

 

[Mickey Fliers]

If you are in my neck of the woods, you just might see me in my pink jammies, husbands way-oversized Merrills and my LL Bean winter coat in my back yard taking the dog out to do his business.

Yes, you heard it here first. I like to be dressed to the nines to pick up dog poo!!!

 

[abaldacci]

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

as Matt said
I as a southerner will claim alot of things, but I will not claim ever to have orwill in the future go to a place of bus. in my pj's. My momma raised me better.
