Why do people go to the hotel breakfast in their pajamas?

No need to even get cleaned up, but being in public in pajamas unless there's a fire or other emergency that you are escaping from is low class.

if you care if you appear to be 'low class' in America then you have bigger issues than pajamas. We are a low-class country, bub.

I didn't say I cared if I appeared that way. I just said it IS that way. Going out in public in pajamas is low class.

I don't think it's a big deal, as long as they are clean.

They want to feel at home at their hotel.

They think they are at home getting breakfast.

To prove they’re staying there

I don't have pajamas, so I sit there in my undies.

I hope that's better.

To me, this ranks as a lesser evil than going outside one's home in PJs.

I'm eating in a Wendy's right now, I'm wearing my pajamas.

You eat at Wendy's. Wearing your pajamas. Posting on LetsRun.

Dude!

People who come to the hotel lobby and the breakfast area in pajamas and house shoes are idiots.

The lobby of the hotel and the breast areas are PUBLIC PLACES. You don't go to work or to the store or anywhere in public dirty, unshaven, dragon breath and nasty wrinkled pajamas bare foot, so why go down from your room looking like morning crap?

Would you rather they go naked?

Depends...Quigley or Caster?

I've never ever seen this. Then again I've never been to America. Do you guys really have steak for breakfast and what the f is broiling. Just found out what that is. At leat frying uses oil fir grilling it literally makes no sense! We call it grilling because you make it in an effing grill!

New phones keyboards and this site has no bloody edit feature.

You didn't need to say.

There is zero chance someone who didn't care would have made your original comment.

Because they are more concerned that their favorite breakfast foods will be gone before they have time to get dressed and they might be getting near the closing time.

The "continental" bit refers to the breakfast, not eating it in your pyjamas.

Why are adults wearing pyjamas anyway?

Answer to the OP:

Many (not most) AMERICANS go to the hotel breakfast in their pajamas for the same reason that many (not most) AMERICANS fly wearing cargo shorts, sweat pants and sandals.

Both of these practices are considered appalling in the rest of the world. To so this in Europe, Japan or Hong Kong would be like showing up with no shirt on.

I can't think of a good way to end this thread without using the words "pigs."

We got that covered as well.

I can top that! One morning before breakfast, I shot an elephant in my pajamas.

How did the elephant get into your pajamas?

I'll never know.

Low class.

So they can get more sleep and recover faster from their 100 mile weeks
