I have never understood how it could be legal to drive with a dog loose in the front seat of your car. And people who drive with their dogs in their laps make me positively stabby.

@MizJenkins: You know what, I agree. Only because I learned first hand what can go wrong when dogs ride in front seats. I used to let my large dog ride in the passenger seat and one day he bumped my window button, and it rolled down automatically. He jumped out while I was driving about 50 miles an hour. Luckily he was okay, he just had some scrapes and a skinned butthole, but I learned that I was a fucking idiot who expected my dog to be safe in the front seat. I tell everyone this now, in hopes that it won't happen to anyone else. It was traumatic for both me and my dog. What started out as a fun trip for us ended up scarring both of us for life.

Seriously, the guilt I feel about this is never ending. I REALLY encourage people to rethink allowing dogs to ride anywhere in the car unrestrained.

@GirlFailer: Yeah, if it's illegal for kids to ride unbuckled, then the same rule should apply to dogs. (And I'm now promising never to let my little pup ride without buckling her in! Used to be good about it, but I get lazy sometimes.)

Still, I'd be a lot more concerned about this woman in the photo if she had a cell phone attached to her ear, like 90% of the drivers I see on the road every day. THOSE people make me stabby.

@MizJenkins: Seriously! My dog has to stay in the backseat (he prefers it back there anyway), because he's large and bumbling, and the one time I let him into the front seat he managed to knock my car into neutral while I was on the highway. After I recovered from my heart attack, I pulled over and shooed him into the backseat, where he happily stays.

Hmm, I just miss my high school music competitions... The only time I felt I could get away with yoga pants, tshirt, and pillow was when we'd be on a bus for four hours. That, and if it was too cold, you could still wear your pajama pants under your uniform (floor length dresses) and no one would know.

Can we work on a crackdown of publicly wearing curlers? And I don't mean, you just came from the beauty shop and needed something from your car. I mean, you're out at the mall in curlers and house slippers. So angering.

@Raspberry Swirl's love is on lockdown: It depends. If the curlers are accessorized with a dangling cigarette indoors, it gets a pass in my book.

@Raspberry Swirl's love is on lockdown: That's its own Doña institution, and I also hate it. Sunday mornings in the mall are the worst.

"Doña, I don't care if you have Misa afterward, just take those curlers out and put a pañuelo for chrissake!

Until last September, I would not have been caught dead wearing pajamas in public. Then came Hurricane Ike and the near total destruction of my neighborhood. I wore pajamas in public fairly often after that, because I just didn't give a shit about anything anymore.

A former colleague of mine wore pjs to work often. In a law office. She got fired pretty quickly. I guess clients found it hard to trust an attorney wearing fuzzy Winnie the Pooh pants.

Jammies. Shanghai is complaining about jammies.

Seriously Shanghai you have a lot of more important things to be worried about than jammies. Take a deep breath and chill the fuck out!

Hey shanghai, it's the sweats you need to crack down on. The sweats!

This girl has gone to the store in PJs, a bathrobe, and a knit hat with a pom-pom on top. Leave the PJs out of this, china.

The police need not intervene with clothing. But Jeebus Cripes there has to be a way to stop people from using the streets like a runway to the couch. It's not just the sweats and teddy-bear print pj pants. I've seen people with fluffy slippers crossing the street. I'll say it again:

FLUFFY SLIPPERS IN THE STREET.

There is no such thing as shame anymore.

@the_decider: The HS where I teach cracked down this year and will not allow students to wear slippers to class. We had to make it policy - state it in the dress code - that students were NOT allowed to wear PJs or bedroom slippers to school. We had to actually specify they were to wear DAY CLOTHES and SHOES.

Shit, in 1977 I was sent home from school for wearing a "Disco Sucks" t-shirt under my flannel. They called my mother to pick me up. My mother demanded I turn the shirt over to her as soon as we got home and she took it outside to the barrel and burned it. I can only imagine what she would have done if I had tried to wear SLIPPERS to school!

I have never worn pajamas in public (not even in college). Just seems a bit odd to me. But I also wear decent clothes to the airport and I don't own flip flops.

(I blame my very Southern grandma for all of this.)

@thatonegirlsays: I can't stand wearing pajamas if I'm up and around. It makes me feel icky if I keep on the clothes I slept in.

Even if I'm just bumming around my apartment for the day and not even seeing another human being, I have to at least put on jeans and a fitted tee. I can't deal with a lack of structure in my casual clothing. I don't own a single pair of sweats.
