Pjs are lazy people's choice of attire

New topic to speak about, turning away from all of the violence happening all around not only the United States but across the globe. This new topic is one that really baffles my mind, meaning there probably is not too much to baffle then. Has everyone noticed the lazy people all over town? In Wal-Mart, Krogers, McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc...? These lazy people are hard to miss when you see them. The lazy people I am referring to are the ones who visit local establishments while still in their pajamas. I call them lazy because apparently they are either too lazy to get dressed or too lazy to show any kind of initiative in life.

Just today I observed a woman, probably in her late 40's, early 50's, get out of her car at the East Side Casey's General Store with these flannel looking pajama bottoms on and go inside to purchase something. This was about 11:30. I have seen people on various occasions entering Wal-Mart wearing pajama bottoms at various times of the day.

Those of you that do this, I need to tell you something...you look like an idiot. You look like a lazy bum. I observed one the other day preparing to enter the Food Rite on the East Side wearing pajama bottoms, house shoes and a white t-shirt with no bra on and folks she needed a bra reeeaaallllllllly bad. I am sorry if I am getting to specific but I am attempting to prove a point. This is what the world has come to these days.

People driving expensive cars or trucks and using an EBT card, that one always gets my crawl. Driving vehicles I cannot even afford to buy and getting assistance. I am so for the drug testing to obtain financial assistance I can hardly stand it. And I think it should be random testing. I think the State of Missouri needs to hire people that all they do is to go around to people drawing assistance and take UA's or BAC's on them to see if they can pass it. They are caught dirty the first time is their warning, the second time there is no warning, the assistance is immediately stopped and once they can pass a drug screen then 30 days later they can begin obtaining their assistance again. The third time caught dirty they lose their assistance for good. And if you try to move to another state it follows you. It should be on a national database.

Granted I am not one to see a child suffer for their parents' ignorance and stupidity so another type of assistance needs to be put in place for the children. Something where another member of the family can step in and take care of purchasing items for the child. If there is no other family member, then maybe a close friend or even a Public Administrator type.

Now back to the PJ's thing, I honestly feel if you are going to go around in public dressed like this you really need some type of self esteem therapy or something. I become somewhat embarrassed just seeing this and being near it much less getting out of the same vehicle with this person, which I would not do any ways. Folks, if I am ill, in the middle of the night and have to go to the ER I still would put on a pair of sweat pants or jeans or something. I will put it this way, if you are going around in your pajamas you might as well go around butt naked because there really is no difference. I probably should not have said that but at least if I see someone running around butt naked that means two things...they have read this article and they wear pajamas everywhere.

Last but not least, kind of an in conjunction type of thing with the PJ's rant but for God's sake, would you all that walk around with your hind end hanging out meaning your pants are down below your waist but above the knees, PULL THEM UP!!! You too look like an idiot. You are not a gangsta, you are not a "G", you're an "SLF" which stands for "STUPID LOOKING FOOL". And people ask and wonder why you are always targeted and looked at so hard by law enforcement. With your pants down like that you must be carrying about 30 pounds of something illegal because even with a belt on your pants hang low. I do however think it is hilarious watching someone trying to run from the police like that because when you run like a penguin you are not hard to catch, hence the idiot I called you all in the beginning. And no, this is not a racial thing because people see white, black, Hispanics actually any race or even gender doing this. I got an idea, clean yourselves up and go get a job doing something to make a mother proud.
