    Going out in public in your pajamas.

    I have seen this on very few occasions, and each time, the pajama-wearing individual is very obviously only out in public so they can either stock up at the liquor store or meet their meth dealer. I don’t think this is common.

      This was in early 2000 New York and Washington DC. Spent about a month there and saw it daily.

      Go to Walmart (not the neighborhood Walmart, the super Walmart) and look around

      It’s common at the high school level. It’s a byproduct of pandemic lockdowns.

        I see that with adults, and WAY before the pandemic. First time I saw that, Bush Jr. was in his first term

      I do it regularly because it’s comfortable and I do not give a single shit about what anyone thinks.
