A school in the UK has banned parents from dropping off and picking up children from school while wearing their pyjamas. Now I can well understand where this fashion is coming from, after all it’s all about comfort isn’t it. But where do we draw the line? When did comfort and let’s be frank, laziness, overcome a modicum of self-pride? And do these people wear the same pyjamas for days? The actual practicalities, not to mention hygiene, of the exercise boggles the mind.
It’s actually supermarket chain Tesco who is to blame for this whole Ban The Bedwear campaign. Staff and management got tired of people lobbing to pick up their carrots and tomatoes in their jim-jams and instigated the ban at the beginning of the year with a sign that read:
To avoid causing offence or embarrassment to others we ask that our customers are appropriately dressed when visiting our store (footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted).
Customer Elaine Carmody was the first person escorted from the store. Here is a picture of the lovely Elaine in her supermarket shopping gear which, let’s be frank, is bloody awful. Yet she must care a little because she is wearing kickarse rap singer gold hoops. The whole look makes you wonder that if she was too lazy to get dressed, was she too lazy to brush her teeth? Are last night’s dishes still sitting in the sink?
Yes, these comments are judgmental, and I don’t know anything about this woman, but that’s what happens when you wear your PJs all day–people judge.

What’s wrong with a good old pair of trakky daks. More comfortable and stylish that pjs.
