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

I have been wearing my pajamas a lot these days due to COVID and not going out much. I ran in my pajamas pants the other day. ?

Another question. Do you have to wear formal clothes or is it sometimes okay to wear pyjamas in video conferences at work during covid?

Only formal wear is appropriate. For men that means a tux with white shirt and a bow tie.

Witnessed this this morning and had to comment. A Quality Inn -- yeah I know -- in Northern Michigan. I guess last night was a bridal shower/party, whatever they call them. The "ladies" came to breakfast in their pajamas. No one weighed under 200. Most over 250. A collection of tight, ill-fitting clothing that revealed too much, simply disgusting. They reeked of cigarette smoke and last night's beer. They dominated the waffle machine and cleaned out the pastry tray. I saw one couple leave in disgust. I nearly vomited while choking down my biscuits and gravy as their stench wafted over me. As I left, I swiped a room card and holder off their table and turned it at the desk -- told them I was checking out, room needed a deep clean.

I don't believe your last sentence. But if true you are a bigger a-hole than the people you are complaining about.

Just know that they do so at their own peril. Slovenly, lazy, slobbish habits will eventually bite them in their

pajama-clad a$$es, whether at their next job interview or in trying to get laid, or in their next Hollywood audition. Let them lounge!

This is a problem across all things and life activities, very much including work. It’s possible to be very casually dressed but still put together and look good. When you’re exiting the home for anything other than exercise, please please take 5 min to prepare thyself for public consumption. The idea that ‘self care’ is like this accomplishment to be celebrated by the gen zers is so infantile it hurts. You send your self a message that you are not worth looking after when showing up in the stoner uni.

Another reason why is that these hotels only serve the breakfast at really early times and most people get it only a Sunday morning. No one really wants to be up on a Sunday morning that early unless they're an old person. So only a small percentage of their customers actually take advantage of the breakfast, if you can even call it that. I never acknowledge or eat it myself. I just get my own breakfast which is better and more convenient than a free sh.itty breakfast scam.

I do not even own those.

I do not always clean up first. Usually, I work out at the gym and stop by after.

Now if you're smart, you're going to the cheaper but still respectable hotels, because what you discover is that the beds and tv's are more or less the same at cheaper and more expensive hotels. We got bedbugs from an expensive NYC hotel rented for us by relatives. That hotel charged $25 for the night for parking and $15 for wifi. Its breakfast was about $25/person. We paid for none of that. It was a complete rip-off, and that's pretty much the norm for hotels like Hilton. Pay for parking, wifi, and breakfast. None of that is worth it. Your typical La Quinta or whatnot will give you waffles and a good breakfast, at least pre-COVID, bagels, muffins, orange juice and apple juice, etc. (Just don't eat the scrambled eggs at hotel buffets). You get free wifi. You get free, hassle-free parking. I can never understand why anyone would be dumb enough to pay hundreds more and get far less.

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

The precise manner in which it came to be that the elephant was, in fact, donning my pajamas is likely to never be known by me!

Is it really that hard to clean yourself up a bit and put on some real clothes?

I think this is more of an American practice. When I was visiting before Covid it was a shock to see people wearing house slippers and bed clothing in public at the market.

If you're traveling with a wife and three kids, free breakfast is worth every penny. We generally try to stay at Drury Inns because you get free dinner as well.

So basically an average American is what you have just described.Fat wasters.

Why do you stay at low class hotels?

Must just be Americans

I've been to Europe and they do a few things better. No doubt about it.

I'm conflicted on the subject of not looking like a f$cking slob in public. I would never ever go outside of my house or hotel room in pajamas, house slippers, etc.

But I do go around town wearing t-shirt, shorts and sneakers. That's what I like to wear and I'll admit that it's not great. I should probably make the effort to dress up a notch or two, but I usually don't.

Two guys can be wearing shorts, tshirt and sneakers but can have very different looks based on physical fitness, quality and fit of clothing and personal hygiene (unkempt hair, etc.). Same situation for two guys wearing a "suit". One guy can look sharp as hell and the other can look sloppy and unimpressive. Both wearing a suit.

but nobody should wear pajamas on a plane or in the grocery or at a hotel breakfast. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Nope, this guy is right on the money.

Well, it depends on if not being an ahole is accepting of anything and everything. If this is being an ahole then I'd rather be an ahole.

haha, i`ve never seen that
