Pajama People

A few years ago, my buddies wife made a joke about the Pajama people of Butler . Butler is the county seat here, and has all the problems that go with a town like that.
I had never really noticed it till she pointed them out. She works at a Red Lobster and said that they come in all the time .
I started to notice the trend myself , but usually only when I was in the vicinity of that town.
It seems to be catching on everywhere now.
If you ever see me out in public with my pj's on, just know, that I have 100% given up on life .
Do you have them where you live ?

What funny is, a few years back the "pajama people" were mostly associated with the Whiskey Tango crowd. Now its drifted over to the high end affluent class.

Nobody is safe.....

I can't say I've seen it, but I would prefer it to guys with their pants at the bottom of their butts with boxers in full view. How did that sh.t catch on???

My experience is that there is no way someone who looked like this, would actually patronize any establishment that I go to. Just like nude beaches and nude 'resorts' or 'clubs' the only people that do this are the exact people who you do not want to see

^^^ That brings a memory. When I was in jr high school...some buddys and I decided to climb a fence and break into a nudist camp near our town. It was a very hot day and they were all out.

We were all scarred for life.

I see it all the time. And I cannot respect anyone who wears sweatpants in public other than at a gym. Such a lack of self respect.

damn, Rick beat me to the comment on sweatpants. Agree with him completely, I am fairly certain that is the preferred attire for college aged kids now a days.

I was going to add sweatpants into my initial post. I would never leave the house in sweats, and I am a dirty long haired auto mechanic

i have to confess to having worn sweats in public the other day. But I'm down with Covid, hadn't planned to get out of my car to get my meds, but then realized I had to get gas. I'm still embarrassed.

A guy I know was in the supermarket at 9:00am and there was a Maori woman in her PJ's buying a large case of beer. She saw him looking at her and she said "Rich bastard." He said back "it's not called being rich, it's called got a job."

I think the trend started with pre-teen / early teen girls, but caught fire with older girls, then onto fat / lazy women and finally dudes.....

We see plenty of girls up to the age of 10 wearing their onesies down to the beach. Quite a practical outfit for them.

This area went thru a real 'pajama phase' 4 or 5 years ago...popular mostly with the college crowd. Fortunately, don't see PJs in public very often around here these days.

I guess it could be worse...

On our last airline flight there was a mother - daughter and son all in PJs. Non were the body shape that anyone wanted to see "dressed" as such. They were the three biggest slobs I had ever seen, and I am a world class slob, or I thought I was until I saw them.

On our way to CR last year we had a very early flight. A family all dressed in matching PJ's were waiting to board our flight. The Mother, father and 3 kids, all matching PJ's.....I accidentally made eye contact with the father and he saw me and then slowly looked away with a look of utter shame on his face.....I knew this was not his idea and the Mother was extremely proud. Poor guy......probably praying none of his friends see him.....

Actually around here to see folks in their PJ's all you need to do is head to the WalMart!
