WASHINGTON (TNND) — The Tampa International Airport in Florida posted that pajamas at the airport would be banned, but then had to clarify it was a joke.
“We’ve seen enough,” the airport posted on X Thursday.
They added that they had previously banned crocs at the airport.
“We know this decision could be disruptive to someone in your life,” the post continued. “It’s time to have a difficult conversation with them. You can do this.”
The airport clarified the post was a joke in a statement to USA Today, saying they frequently make joke posts like this.
“Tampa International Airport regularly shares lighthearted, satirical social media content as part of our ongoing effort to engage with our followers,” the airport said in a statement to the outlet.
“Today’s post about ‘banning’ pajamas was another playful nod to day-of-travel fashion debates. We encourage our passengers to travel comfortably and appreciate our loyal followers who enjoy the online humor.”
Last year, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy encouraged fliers to dress better when traveling on an airplane.

“I can’t mandate you dress up, but don’t wear pajamas and slippers to the airport,” he said. “I think if you dress a little better, you behave a little better.”
