The patrons in their PJs paid to stay in this "posh" hotel just like you, @I am still oxox.  You would have mentioned immediately if they were rude and hogging the buffet but you didn't.  

 


Why would I care or look at what some one else eats that's their problem, showing up in a public place in what you slept in turns my stomach

Seeing people out in public, anywhere in public, makes me wonder if our country is having a serious shortage of full length mirrors.

Funny, but I think I also see some "virtue signaling" in your comments ... or is that just a coincidence?    


@Tinkrbl44 Virtue signaling usually includes an "I" statement. But your opinion of me is none of my business.


 

@Love to Run 

 

So just because you didn't use "I" in your disparaging remarks means you think you have class and manners?  Uh, okay ... sure.

@Love to Run Your post make no sense what are you trying to say, try plain English so we can understand  What is virtue signaling?

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

There is nothing in Love to Run's post that indicates she is virtue signaling. She merely stated that criticizing the way others dress when it has no effect on anyone else is no show of class or manners regardless of where you live.  This whole notion that seeing someone in a robe or PJs and slippers at breakfast is stomach turning is a bit over the top.

So be it this thread has been a total character assassination. If you do not agree with a person there is no reason to demoralize them.

I am not demoralizing anyone.  You asked what the definition of virtue signaling was and I just copied and pasted the definition.

Maybe you need to take a look at the charactar assassinations you threw about.

@Love to Run 

I am from the south but spent a lot of time all over the country and world with my father's foreign assignments and my husband's military career.  That, too, is exactly how we feel.  If someone speaks disparagingly of another, that someone is not asked back to social events as disparaging remarks are  considered "gossip" of the worst order.  We would have been told to wash our mouths out as youngsters.  I do recall having to attend a tea with my mother when I was about 4-5 and I made a remark when we returned home about the way someone was dressed.  I got a face-to-face scolding from my grandmother and I didn't get to attend any social event with my mother until I was older although my sisters did.
