...the hell? Where do you live that people go to the store in their pajamas? Here the security would be having a chat with them in no time, not to mention having other people assume that they need to call an ambulance for the poor confused person.

[caecilia]

Uh. Where do you live, because that seems a little extreme to me.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT. Northern Europe. I can say that I've never seen anyone out in public in pyjamas, other than in their own front yard.

[caecilia]

Ah, okay. In the US it became a trend about a decade ago. It started with college students who just didn't feel like changing when they went to class and was pretty big by the time I got to high school (which was about ten years ago). Granted, most people just wore the pajama pants and had a regular shirt. I think.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm from Northern Europe, too, and my first reaction to seeing a person wearing pyjamas in public would be to make sure they're not an Alzheimer's patient or something of the sort, because it's just not done, ever. (Like pyjama bottoms, perhaps, but nothing more than that.)

(I've lived in Scotland for a few years now, and haven't seen it done here, either.)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm from Europe too and this thread made me go "why THE FUCK would anyone go somewhere in their pajamas?".

[sirenssong]

Wow. That seems a little bit... much just for pajamas at the store.

[(Anonymous)]

The only people going outside like that here tend to be demented old folks who are lost, so that would be the default reaction.

[charming_stranger]

Also northern Europe, and now that you mention it ...

I suppose when I read "pajamas", I assumed that meant pajama pants (and long-legged ones!) with an ordinary t-shirt, or at least with a jacket over the pajama top. That might make people do a (mostly discreet) double-take here in Sweden, at least if the pants had very noticeable print, but security wouldn't even blink.

Anyone walking into a grocery store (or further from the house than the mailbox, really) in full pajamas and nothing else (nothing sensible, that is) would get a lot of stares.

[(Anonymous)]

Northern Europe again, and I've done the one you mention: pajama pants (tartan, I might add), t-shirt, my heavy coat and my boots. It was ten at night and we'd run out of milk, the shop was ten minutes away and no-one in my family can function without tea in the morning, which requires milk. Rather than have to get up earlier in the morning and run to the shops and back in the craziness of the school-and-work run, I just decided screw it, boots and coat over my PJs, and walked the damn ten minutes to the shop. I got a couple of looks, mostly because of the tartan, I think, and otherwise was perfectly fine.

So long as everything's covered, you're not freezing yourself to death and you're not in your underwear, I don't see the problem.

[(Anonymous)]

With you on that one (also northern Europe) never seen anyone in the store in pyjamas.

Once a guy in a light up cowboy hat but he wasn't very sane. If you would walk in in pyjamas everyone would think something was wrong.

[truxillogical]

It's a thing in America. I don't get it, but it is perfectly "normal" these days to go out in public wearing fleecey flannel or cartoon-print pajama pants as if they were outside clothes.

I mean, when I was in college, you saw a lot of "I just rolled out of bed" kids do it. But these days, no, lots of folks just...walk out in that.

At which point you usually just say a thank you that at least they're wearing pants and hope they don't pay you with boob money.*



*Also, some women, usually of the larger or more well-endowed variety, frequently keep things like cellphones and loose bills tucked into their shirt and held their by the force of their breast. Sometimes they use the, ahem, natural front pocket, but usually I see it just shoved in the side there.

not ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

oh, that explains a lot

I've honestly never seen that outside of american shows/movies, and didn't know it was an irl thing as well!

[(Anonymous)]

Well, it's not just an American thing... when my grandfather was at Cambridge (so in, like, the thirties?) he would walk down the street to the corner shop in his pyjamas, slippers, and dressing gown, and was by no means the only student to do so.

Then again:
a. That was the thirties and therefore not the same
b. This was back when students weren't actually expected to be self-sufficient and the Cambridge porters and bedders kind of waited on the students hand and foot
c. It was fucking Cambridge and they gave (/give) zero fucks.

[truxillogical]

Yeah, I'd say there's a smidgeon of difference between walking around in a dressing gown (and oh, college students, they've never really been bastions of fashion) and going around town in the Family Guy pants you got at Wally World.

Does give a rather hilarious mental image, though.

[(Anonymous)]

College trends can always extend to "everyone" trends pretty easily. Plus it's always a thing that what is acceptable to wear in public changes as time passes.

Like my Grandmother ranted to me about how she doesn't like that jeans became a trend because to her, jeans are clothes for farming and not things you wear outside of that. You will never see her in jeans, only slacks.

[(Anonymous)]

What's wrong with boob money, though? My sister-in-law started carrying her cash and cell that way after being pick-pocketed twice because she figured it was one place no one was gonna steal from unnoticed. Granted, she keeps her stuff tucked under the strap more than in the cup.

[truxillogical]

It is creepy as balls. It's the same as someone coming up to me and handing me the card that they held in their mouth two seconds ago because their hands were full of cellphone and book. I get that it's convenient. But it's also gross. Seriously, just gross. Because other people have to deal with that.

Your cellphone, fine, keep it where you like. It just looks trashy as hell, but hey, at least I don't have to touch that.

[zenity]

This. as someone who used to somewhat-frequently accept boob money, It's not really something that thrills the cashier when you reach into your shirt to pay for your items. :\ At least in a wallet or purse it's not getting (possible) body sweat soaked into it.

Not to mention, why on earth would you want money rubbing against your skin for an extended period of time? At least when handling money you can wash your hands more easily. For your boob's sake, ladies. Money is super filthy.

[(Anonymous)]

Every time I've accepted boob money while working, it's been all sweaty and gross, and it's really awkward watching a woman reach her hand down the front of her shirt and rifle around in there.

[(Anonymous)]

Boob sweat's what's wrong with it and the awkwardness of watching the lady fish it out. It's only slightly more hygienic than carrying it in your underwear. If I have to resort to stashing cash in my bra, I make sure to take it out long before I get to the register.

[(Anonymous)]

I used to work near the beach in summer, so usually the customers were pretty sweaty. It's really awkward and gross when someone hands you a bill drenched in sweat, be it from their boobs, or their sneakers or worse. Just don't hand people things covered in your bodily fluids, it's not right.

[(Anonymous)]

Someone called the police on me last weekend because I went out for a walk on the first nice day of Spring and was dancing to disco music on my ipod. Apparently they assumed I must be high. So much for all those romcoms with the manic pixie dreamgirls!

(I live in US east coast, btw.)

[(Anonymous)]

Well, considering Boston thinks lightbrites are bombs....
