Now I am going to sound like my Grandmother.  Grandmother Annie Brown, God rest her soul, a steele magnolia times ten.

I am sick of seeing people out in public in their pajamas.  Sick of it.  Sick of seeing butt crack, boobs sprawled splat for lack of underwire or any underwear for that matter, and Cheeto induced gutoverhang hanging out all over the sides.  And this is just on the women. What happened to self pride.  No, do not blame it on the economy.  This was happening way before people lost jobs and paychecks.

I actually just witnessed someone asking for a job application at a local coffee shop wearing this ensemble:

Tank top with bra ( but barely)

Flannel Pajama pants hung down below the belly with snippet of belly showing and snippet of top thong

(whale tail I think it’s called?) streached beyond it’s reach-showing just over the crest of a tattooed lower back.

Belly should not have been showing. Or for that matter-the polka dotted streched whale tail.

Flip-Flops.

Dirty feet and flips very flopped.

Hair not brushed.

No make-up.

This person was early 20’s.  Did she really think she would get hired showing up like that?  Have I missed something in the cool factor quota these days?

AND then:  At Staples just this week on two occaisions-there in the copy center-in the self copy section-were three people in their pajamas.  Printing resume’s, hair all dishelved, stains on said pj’s and absolulty no concern whatsoever.  These people were no in their early 20’s.  Road hard and hit up-mid 40’s and 50’s.  Two women one man.  At least he had shoes on.

It is one thing to see a sleepy toddler in the grocery-still in pajamas-exhausted mom just trying to get through the ailes and get home.  It is one thing to stay in your pajamas all day-and stay home.  It is another thing all together to think wearing the pajamas you have been wearing all week should be worn just one more day-and in public.

Am I supposed to feel sympathetic for these people.  Feel sorry for them-so down on their luck that the only thing they have the capacity to do is wear dirty pajamas-and hope luck will change?
