I agree with John. They are not wearing pajamas, they are wearing their idea of sweat pants, essentially. --50.82.xxx.xx

Times they are a changin'. I don't wear my PJs in public, but yes, the "people of Wal-Mart" are....interesting, to say the least! --173.20.xxx.xxx

Sweat pants drive me nuts as well, people just don't know how to properly dress anymore. --24.187.xxx.xx

Then during the 80's "designer" clothing became all the rage and we allowed it somehow...so now maybe the kids have rebelled against paying $$$$$ for a pair of jeans and just buy pjs! --50.82.xxx.xx

I don’t know. My kids are young adults and teenagers. I have never seen them, their friends or anyone at any of their schools dressed like that. What would happen if they showed up at school or work dressed like that? The people I’m seeing certainly aren’t young trendsetters anyway. More like the moms who don’t bother getting out of their PJs to put the kids on the bus.....and then picking them up at the end of the day still in the PJs. I must just say that I’ve noticed on trips to Canada that the public display of PJs disappears. You can go there all week and everyone is outside in their day clothes. --174.199.xx.xxx

Unfortunately pajamas are also court attire for many tenants in my big city and some are torn to expose areas that swimwear would cover at a public pool (disgusting), these folks spend 30-45 minutes going thru the metal detector lines thru the buildings, always a chuckle from the bunch I hang with cause they talk the longest and still lose. --76.188.xxx.xx

I spent a good part of the day last Friday at a tire store buying and having installed a new set of snow tires. A lady came in wearing her PJs, and spent several hours there waiting for her work to be done. I just don't get the attitude. However, I pointed this out to my 33 year old daughter once, and she said "what's the big deal? I do it all the time." So I guess I just don't get this new generation. --75.166.xxx.xxx

Public PJ wears seem to be loyal to the fleece bottoms and dingy t shirt type. The fleece bottoms must be adorned with a goodly amount of hair and crumbs. Not a good look IMHO. --72.172.xxx.xx

I think this is generational. I was shocked the first time I saw someone in the supermarket in PJs, not i just judge if I like the PJs or not. --108.51.xxx.xxx

My DIL just asked for PJ bottoms for Christmas LOL! So I bought some for everyone just because. --50.82.xxx.xx

I only rent to white collar professionals to come to my showings in suit and tie --198.135.xxx.xx

With exceptions for people viewing the house on their way home from work if it is work related dirt. --174.216.x.x

I see them with their slippers on too. --72.134.xxx.xxx

Not PJs, but still something odd---When I was teaching school the parents would come up before school began to meet the teacher and check out the classrooms. One mom brought up her child (middle school) and the mom was wearing Bootie shorts. I kid you not, half of her "cheek" was hanging out. Some people do not dress appropriately.. --24.233.xxx.xx

I agree with this stereotype. --50.32.xxx.xxx

I don’t think it is a generation thing either, I see people of all ages, shapes and sizes wearing PJ’s in public. They should all be rock climbers, as tacky as they are all they would have to do is walk up the cliff, lol. --166.137.xxx.xxx

Yeah, and whenever I see an old pic (pre 1960) of the crowd at a baseball game, all the men have suits and ties on! Now, people wear sweatpants to funerals. --70.90.xx.xxx

Or, you see old footage of men working factory jobs on assembly lines in the 1930's and they have button down shirts and ties on. --70.90.xx.xxx

Just went to a local tavern for dinner and a couple came in wearing PJ’s. I would not have rented to them had they shown up at a showing like that. --24.61.xxx.xx

This falls under the "you can just tell" umbrella. They show up to view a place and you can just tell you won't be renting to them. More people fall under that umbrella the longer you do this. --50.32.xxx.xxx

PS Dig back in the archives here to see posts about denying anyone with tatoos. --73.102.xxx.xxx

ROF-LMHO! I can validate all of the above. DH and I were at WALMART today and all the freaks came out of the woodwork. DH says the management tells the sales people to take care "not to notice" these people. People in costumes, people half naked, people in 6 inch heels. "Just look the other way" is their policy. These people are customers. Unless they have a gun--just ignore them. --108.87.xx.xxx

Brooks Brothers or Jos. A Banks style never goes old. --73.182.xxx.xxx

NHsailmaker, that is how my plumber dresses but with jeans, belt, tucked in button down shirt. Makes me happy since occasionally I am the extra set of hands and he will sometimes teach me something simple so I don’t have to call him for it. I myself am a fan of Duluth Traders longtail shirts. Not cheap but very practical. --24.61.xxx.xx

Welcome back Charlie! --24.61.xxx.xx

Don’t mind the casual look of sweatpants or even yoga pants. That is casual , comfortable ....whatever. My pet peeve is the people who obviously were too lazy to change their clothes when they got up . I drove one of my kids to take the SAT this weekend. About 40 kids walked into the school at 7:30a.m. Not ONE pair of PJs. There is hope! --71.10.xxx.xxx
