    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.

        I had coworkers in the early 2000s who would do this, working in a white collar profession, and pretty sure they weren’t alcoholics or doing (hard) drugs.

          That’s crazy. We couldn’t even wear polo shirts then and before 9/11 we had to wear ties.

            They didn’t wear pyjama’s to work, but they did wear them out of the house to go buy snacks or such. Also, a number of us didn’t normally wear suits or ties to work, especially if we were technical and not sales or administrative. This might have been due to not being in Canada. I did a few weeks in Toronto, and a number of guys followed the same rule.

            Edit: the most frustrating programming error.

        I used to see it in the States maybe 15 years ago but I also saw it in the UK (Liverpool) about a decade ago.

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

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