Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

[offshore171]

I think it's more of a Western society thing in general

>France and Germany have entered the chat

I cannot wait to see an American trying to defy Qantas’ dress code policy and wear their thongs to the lounge …..

 

[mrsterryn]

This fat old lady still wants to wear her crocs

American.....thongs

There will need to be a sign at the front indicating the meaning of "thong" for the Americans

 

[Quickstatus]

I have yet to receive pajamas when entering a lounge

That has not stopped people wearing JimJams in a Lounge or out in public for that matter

One could also say the same about activewear.

This is still jarring - excercising in jimjams in a food preparation area.... at least I can't see activewear

they can wear their version of thong(s) all they like. I just don't want to see it (well perhaps on selected individuals.. hey I'm only human )

and I personally wouldn't give two hoots if anyone did (i'm not making any body shaming affirmation comments about anyone ).

I mean this is exactly where things like the domestic dress code becomes over the top. I think most of us agree on this. Sure, I have no sense of style, but even if I did I simply wouldn't care. Not for me to worry about. if the croc wearer is clan an comfy that's fine by me.

Definitely an example I think of what people like @Mr H are commenting about - and I agree totally.

crocs or sandals or whatever.. eh... that doesn't affect me or anyone else imo. Now pull dirty feet out of them and pop them on a table or chair, and there might be a problem...

A quote from G Bruce Boyer ( A well known fashion editor )

“It is both delusional and stupid to think that clothes don’t really matter and we should all wear whatever we want. Most people don’t take clothing seriously enough, but whether we should or not, clothes do talk to us and we make decisions based on people’s appearances.” – G. Bruce Boyer

I think you mean thong! I don’t know about you but I think most folks would find it challenging to fit into multiple thongs

For some reason, the supposed enlightened still don't understand the "don't judge a book by its cover"

A few weeks ago I spotted a couple in the HND immigration line proudly wearing their Qantas Business PJs.

Don't judge a book by its cover is precisely how my dad got kicked off the annual book cover judging panel. Easily some of the worst advice I've heard!

Unfortunately sometimes all you have is the cover to make judgement.

By the way I'm obese. Have been for a long time. Smile at people and I get evil looks. I know and can tell that I have already been judged before I can say anything. They must think I'm some evil weirdo. But the tide turned the minute that gorgeous angel came to my life. Now people smile at me when I am with her....

I have been thinking about different attitudes.
I do care about the way some people dress and I don't fancy sitting next to a passenger in a tank top with hairy armpits exposed.
It seems to me it's all part of a general loss of standards in the
community. Just because some may not be concerned is not a
valid reason to allow inconsiderate behaviour (read dressing ).
Unwritten and written rules, commonly known as etiquette, have
developed for the good order and peaceful coexistence and an
understanding of others needs.

So you don't like someone with tank top and hairy armpits, even if they just sit there and do nothing? Geez...

 

[Quickstatus]

inconsiderate behaviour (read dressing ).

If there is one thing I'm sure of is that the relationship between behaviour and dress is often an inverse one.
Some of the worst behaviour in a lounge can be found in some of the "best" dressed.

How would you feel if I said I did not want to sit next to a woman with her hair uncovered? Or even to sit in the same room as a woman? Should her inconsiderate behaviour (read dressing) be allowed?

As long as you don’t mind her tank top and hairy armpits.
