Stop Wearing Pajamas in Public

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently dropped a gem of advice that we absolutely need to chat about: he’s urging folks to ditch the pajamas and step up their airport fashion game! Now, I’m all about comfort—trust me, my couch and I have a deep relationship—but there’s a time and place for those fuzzy pants, and it’s not in public spaces. Let’s be real, have you seen some of the get-ups people are rocking at the grocery store? Pajamas, slippers, and even bonnets—it’s like a slumber party gone rogue! This episode dives into how our current dress code (or lack thereof) in public places might be a sign of a bigger issue, where we’re treating shared spaces like our living rooms. Join me as we unpack why a little pride in our appearance can go a long way for everyone’s sake!

I just heard one of the best pieces of advice out of a government in ages.

Speaker A:

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asked Americans to stop wearing pajamas to the airport and dress a little bit better.

Speaker A:

Now, I'm all for dressing comfortably.

Speaker A:

I do it at home.

Speaker A:

But some people, they've taken it way too far.

Speaker A:

I see pajamas and slippers and bonnets at the grocery stores and gas stations and yes, on planes, in trains, and it feels wrong to me.

Speaker A:

I find myself wondering, where's your pride?

Speaker A:

Now, I don't know if this has a direct impact on our behavior, but I do know that more of us have started treating public places like private ones, doing whatever we want and not caring about the rest of us.

Speaker A:

And that's not good for anyone.

Speaker A:

So what do you think?

Speaker A:

Let me know on jamesabrown.net on that note.
