That is all.

I missed something, and my intuition is telling me it might have been hilarious.
Several trips to several different major retailers over the weekend yielded at least half a dozen shoppers dressed for sleepytime at home, except in public, in the middle of the afternoon, on a day full of crappy weather.
Also, I live in a college town, and I swear 25% of the shoppers in my local grocery store come dressed like they should be carrying a teddy bear under one arm.
Sorry, not too hilarious - just me being cranky.
But at least I dress appropriately before going out in public!

That explains it. I'm pretty sure that's standard uniform for college girls in any class before noon.
I hate when females of any age wear pajama pants in public. You look like a slob. Its like an old woman in public with her hair up in rollers. Terrible.

A few of the stores I shop in, including a grocery store, often have female shoppers in curlers. To be honest, tho, I'm guessing there is something men wear/DON'T wear, that drives women nuts. I have to admit I haven't seen shoppers in PJs...yet.

Wife-beater with the armpit hair poking out. Bonus vomit points if that hair has chunks/flakes of deodorant in it.

Grocery store?
This is what many people wear on airplanes these days.
If you're in the grocery store and some goober is dressed like a slob, or wearing curlers and a housecoat, you can just go to frozen foods for a minute and dodge them. If you have to sit next to some dirty, smelly, mouth-breathing pond scum for 4 hours on a 737, you develop a whole new appreciation for 'appropriate attire'.
I've given up on expecting the general population to exhibit any class - now I just try to control proximity!
Um, ewww! Especially if they're walkin' a rottie, and blow their nose by closin' one nostril with a finger...

Well, not just college girls or even necessarily females, or even young people. And I'm talking late afternoon when it is 30 degrees and raining out. I'm going grocery shopping this evening around 8:00p and I guarantee I'll see at least one person there in pajama pants, a T-shirt that doesn't fit, and fuzzy slippers.
Crocs. F'in horrid shoes.
I realize I'm in the minority here. 
there was a lady in Blockbuster yesterday in yellow duckie slippers.
like http://www.amazon.com/Yellow-Duck-Slippers-for-Infants/dp/B001G6QCC2 but for adults

There is a guy here at work that wears those damned shoes. He's such a doofus. Since he's a computer geek, it may not be readily apparent at first how big a doofus he is, the crocs just make it easier for people to identify that he's a doofus from a distance.
Uggs are another thing that I find silly (not that wearing them when cold is silly) more that wearing them with shorts, etc Sort of the female equivalent of wearing really long socks with shorts. Typically it isn't the shoes/clothes that piss me of, it is the socially whacked people that wear them.
Much like the silly girls who watched "Twilight" opening weekend and suddenly decide to be Gothpires or some E36 M3. Tell you what, you can be whatever you want, just get the berkeley out of my way and let me get a damned soft pretzel!
Sometimes the attire is an early clue that the person is doing the "Thorazine Shuffle" and you can adjust your route, or how speedily you pass by !!

isn't that what we all want?
I work at a pizza shop, one of the assistant managers wears Crocs. I think I remember reading a few months ago that these "shoes" were a safety hazard, especially in places where heavy objects can be dropped on a foot or in food service jobs where you are exposed to hot liquids.
To me, Crocs are just little more than "flip-flops" for wear away from pools/sports venues. I'm not sure I'd chance injury by wearing them "outside".
Yeah, I'm afraid that I'm turning into a crotchety old man at just 31. Just the other day, I came home and saw one of the neighbor's kid's toys in the street near my house and thought "Damn kids, need to learn to put their toys away..."
That brought me up short, so instead I picked the toy up and took it over to their yard and set it by the front porch (they weren't home)
Most hospitals have banned crocs for the staff due to the potential dangers involved with them.

Uhhh... There are classes before noon?
yeah being in college I have noticed the whole before noon classes half to three quarters of the class wear sweats or pajama...granted there are many many volley ball players in my classes...I don't think I have it in me to complain.
Mind you this is the same town that I saw a girl standing on a sidewalk waiting for the crossing light, strip off her sweater and proceed to walk across the street in nothing but her bra. Since then I never leave home without my cameras. 
Oh and sadly yes there are classes before noon, and for me they are math and chemistry...thankfully next term no classes before 10.
Geez Duke, my first thought when I read you post:
"Damn, 28 days already?"
Hey now, let's not be taking Bob's name in vain.
Eh screw it... it's not like Mr. Dobb's give's a rat's ass anway, lol.
ohh maddox.
I missed you.
<3 ignorant.
Man when I lived in Gainesville while going to UF the local Publix was the place to be. All the girlies were dressed up like it was time to go out clubbing or something. I swear I got more numbers going to buy groceries than I did working at Gator City (Purple Porpoise- a great bar across from the Swamp!).
Sorry to hear that the ladies in your area don't know how to dress in a manner that pleases us men.

Oh no. This desciption just reminded me of a moment I had, until now, sucessfully blocked from my memory. I was at work and approached a man who had come into the store but had his back to me as I came up and asked him if he had any questions. He had ridden his bike to the store wearing a button down flannel shirt and he was a ...very... hairy man. He did not have the shirt buttoned up all the way. He was hot, and sweaty, and not in a good way. And there, unbeknownst to the man, was a winged insect, apparently unwittingly trapped while just minding it's own business, trying desparately to free itself from the sweaty hairy mass just poking out of the top of this man's shirt.
