Come on people

Why people?  I believe this epidemic of public pajama wearing began with Walmart, but it appears to be widespread now.  I'm fond of looking up words.  Epidemic:  widespread occurrence of a particular undesirable phenomenon.  Pajamas at the grocery store, the bank, the post office,  the ballgame, the mall.
When and why did this become acceptable?  You are adults ... sometime each morning, we are supposed to brush our teeth, wash our face, maybe even shower, comb our hair and .... get dressed.  And NOT back into pajamas.  No one wants to see a grown woman wearing her Super Hero or Hello Kitty PJs at the grocery store. No one wants to see a grown man in Batman pajamas strolling the aisles at Home Depot. Put some pants on! There are a few exceptions that society will let slide, but not too many. In case you can't figure this out on your own, I found these helpful lists online.

Acceptable Pajama Wearing Locations:

  • At your home
  • At your friend's home during a sleepover
  • At your Grandma's house
  • At the hospital if you are a patient
  • Going to get the mail (on your driveway, not at the post office)
  • Doctor's office if you are very ill
  • Walmart from 9 PM - 9 AM if buying cold medicine, toilet paper, or Kleenex
  • Fast food restaurant if going through drive-thru
  • Bank if going through drive-thru
  • College Dorm
  • At Bible-study (if the group approves / this ones for you Nicole!)
Non-Acceptable Pajama Wearing Locations:
  • Church
  • Court
  • School (any age level!)
  • College classes
  • Inside fast food restaurants
  • Grocery stores
  • Nice restaurants
  • Bars
  • Bank
  • Post office
  • Work (unless you are in a sleep research lab!)
  • Walmart between the hours of 9 AM to 9 PM
  • The mall
  • Target
  • Any store!
  • Your friend's house in daylight hours
  • A wedding
  • A wedding reception
  • A funeral
  • A hospital when visiting a patient (the nurse may try to escort you to the mental ward.)
  • At the park
  • At the beach
We've heard the phrase "pull up your big girl panties and get on with life."  Well, your big girl panties aren't red plaid, made from flannel, have cartoon characters or say 'juicy' across the butt.  These are not adult clothes. If you want to hang in front of Slicks liquor puffing your cigarette, put on some clothes.  S. Santa Fe has an average of 15,659 cars passing you each day (yes I looked it up), and I pass you twice ...  put on a t-shirt and some jeans, and be a part of society.
