One of the funniest things about the south is the casualness of the dress and at the same time the fanciness of the dress. For football games girls put on pearls, dresses, and heels. Men put on button downs and ties. This dates back the civil war where “picnickers” would put on their finest attire and go and have a nice lunch while cheering on the men in battle. What has changed is that the battle is no longer war, but football.
Yet to walk their dogs in the neighborhood they put on pajamas, or hell sometimes they put on the pajama shirt and forget the pants.

I have seen a large number of people walking their dogs in the morning in the nightwear. Women in skimpy satin pjs just a walking their dog without a care in the world. Old men with nightshirts that are way to short to be worn without pants. Some in sweatpants even though it is 80 degrees at seven am.
Sure you may think it is just my crazy neighborhood, but it is not. I have seen this in multiple neighborhoods all over town. Whatever happened to putting on presentable pajamas before going out with the dog?
I would blame the MTV, or dirty music, but it is elderly people doing this my friends. And I know they are not watching the MTV.
Or are they?

Since you brought up the civil war, I will confess that I was most angry when I was at the Ford Theatre the night Lincoln was shot and they refused to refund me my money for the ticket.
I cannot believe the nerve of those people. 🙂
haha.. too funny!
I’ve been thinking the same thing! What is with people going out in their pajamas?!
I have no idea. I think they are zombies and about to eat our faces watch out!
Sometimes I miss the South and sometimes I’m glad I live in the north, where we have fences so we can just let Fido out the door and let him back in when he comes scratching.
I have a fenced in yard and no dog, these people need to invest in some fences.
This doesn’t even scratch the surface of what people deem worthy to wear to walmart or the grocery store!
OH I love that website. People of walmart. The best!
Great Post! I am amazed what some people wear to work some day – YIKES!
I know. I want to say just because you worked here in 1980 and that was appropriate then, does not make it appropriate now. You should see what highschool girls where to class and then act offended when you send them to the office to change.
I am guilty – I was out in my pj’s with the dog just this morning. But my pj’s look like yoga wear so I guess I was mildly presentable. 🙂
So long as they are presentable I will give you a pass.
oy vey.. you REALLY don’t want to see what I wear when I walk the dog.. Hence, he gets walked under cover of darkness.. It’s not a pretty sight…
I think you ought to post it on the internet so we can all have a good laugh.
