I am curious about people's behaviour.

I wonder how women of all ages can actually walk around shops in pyjamas and rollers. But some how they manage to bother putting their false eyelashes on.
Is there some thing that you are curious about when observing other people?

HettyBetty Tue 08-Feb-22 17:04:54

It's sloppy and lazy. Although others will be along to say we should respect these women. I don't and never will.

I don't understand the shopping in your pyjamas thing - surely it's just as comfortable to put on a sweatshirt and track suit bottoms?

I wonder how people can make snap judgements about people they don't know, and jump to hostile conclusions.

I am also curious about why so many people go out together then spend half the night on their phones (presumably to other people).

I don't understand it either, for the same reasons (and because it just feels 'wrong'), but I don't assume that those who do aren't worthy of respect. I know you didn't say that either - the comment is directed at HettyBetty's post above.

I'm curious about all sorts of human behaviour.
Wearing pjs the very least thing that intrigues me about others.
I find people watching fascinating.

Not often we agree Doodledog! But I do here. I wonder how people can make snap judgements about people they don't know, and jump to hostile conclusions.

I’m intrigued with the pyjamas thing I’ve read/heard about but not actually seen with my own eyes.

Do they get out of bed and leave the house without showering? Or do they hop into the shower after discarding last night’s attire and pop clean ones on for the shopping or school run?

MissAdventure Tue 08-Feb-22 17:29:39

I can see how this will end, sadly.

I could never do that , it is slovenly, I have to much pride not to go out clean and presentable.

Kim19 Tue 08-Feb-22 17:40:00

Don't know what my reaction would be but would love to see someone in pjs just to discover that very thing.

My pyjamas are very similar to what I wear anyway, and I wear my everyday t shirts it’s them. Not that I go shopping these days but, when I did I sometimes worried that I’d get into the car wearing my pyjama bottoms. I always wear dark colours as well nice doesn’t help.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Feb-22 17:45:35

I go to the shop in my slippers, or used to, anyway. smile

The postman complimented me on my reindeer slippers yesterday. smile

My hairdresser visits me at home, often on a Sunday morning, quite early. Of course, I shower and dress before she arrives.
She tells me a number of her ‘home’ clients just stay in their pyjamas, to have their hair done … yuk.

JaneJudge Tue 08-Feb-22 17:49:28

I feel a bit guilty that I may have started the pyjama discussions. The women looked clean not like they'd just got out of bed

Lots of men look filthy and like they haven;t washed and sell the same too, can't we discuss them?

JaneJudge Tue 08-Feb-22 17:49:59

SMELL THE SAME too

MissAdventure Tue 08-Feb-22 17:50:08

My friends husband has a pair shaped like boats, then on the front are fishing lines, with fish dangling off them.

but they are in their homes and will have to shower and get dressed afterwards anyway?

does he wash them? or wash his feet. I feel we need to know

MissAdventure Tue 08-Feb-22 17:52:17

Such distaste for nightwear.
Some people must go to bed in an evening gown and kitten heels.

MissAdventure Tue 08-Feb-22 17:54:29

I've never asked him if his slippers are washed, but if I had to hazard a guess, I would say yes, they are clean.

EkwaNimitee Tue 08-Feb-22 17:58:13

I’d be arrested if I went out in my nightwear

Josieann Tue 08-Feb-22 18:03:25

In a certain town in Essex on a Friday and Saturday afternoon the women all have rollers in, having just stepped out of the hairdresser's to do their weekly shop then go out later for the evening. Why not?

I've gone out in slippers and I knew it. When I had one of our children ,although I had left a packed bag my DH arrived with only one of my shoes. I had to go down the Hospital steps and out in the forecourt to the car, getting peculiar looks until someone who had obviously gone into labour went past in her Pj's.smile
