The pajama party is over. <\/p>\n
Tampa International Airport set the internet ablaze on Thursday after its official X account declared war on what it called a full-blown fashion emergency unfolding at the gate.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve seen enough. We\u2019ve had enough. It\u2019s time to ban pajamas at Tampa International Airport,\u201d its post <\/a>read.\u00a0<\/p>\n First Crocs, now PJs \u2014 Tampa International is cracking down on comfy travel fashion, and the internet is not impressed. AP<\/p>\n After bragging about previously \u201cbanning Crocs,\u201d the airport said they were moving on to address an \u201ceven larger crisis: Pajamas. At. The. Airport. In the middle of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe madness stops today,\u201d the X post read.\u201d The movement starts now. Help Tampa International Airport become the world\u2019s first Crocs-free AND pajama-free airport. Do your part. Say no to pajamas at TPA.\u201d<\/p>\n The tongue-in-cheek manifesto quickly took off online \u2014 and not everyone was ready to fold up their flannel without a fight.<\/p>\n \u201cWho the f\u2014k cares what I wear while your TSA agents go through all my s\u2014t and pat me down?\u201d someone wrote beneath the post.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWhat do you care what I wear on my flight where I\u2019m going to be crammed in with a bunch of miserable people while some d\u2014bag reclines his seat into me?\u201d<\/p>\n Not everyone is ready to trade comfort for courtesy, of course \u2014 especially in cramped cabins and amid chronic delays. Bloomberg via Getty Images<\/p>\n Another similarly<\/a> sounded off<\/a>: \u201cIs this a joke? The TSA makes us wait in line, remove our shoes, belts, empty our pockets, and scan us. Crocs and pajamas are a response to having to go through all that. Easy on, easy off. No belts. No shoe laces. No pockets to empty.\u201d<\/p>\n Others argued that cramped cabins \u2014 not cozy sweatpants \u2014 are the real problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe if there were more room on the plane, people wouldn\u2019t have to wear such flexible material.\u201d<\/p>\n Still, not everyone was clutching their carry-ons in outrage. Some applauded the airport\u2019s attempt<\/a> to restore a little jet-set decorum.<\/p>\n \u201cAlmost every other nation on Earth (yes even the poor ones) respects itself enough to not wear bed time clothing in public besides the US?? Tampa, you\u2019re doing the Lord\u2019s work,\u201d a fan of the ban penned.<\/a><\/p>\n Another chimed in<\/a>: \u201cThank you it\u2019s time for adults to behave as adults and grow up. If they can\u2019t or won\u2019t then how can it be expected that today\u2019s children won\u2019t repeat this behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n And then came the nostalgia for the golden age<\/a> of glam travel.<\/p>\n \u201cThere used to be a time where Americans would dress up when they travel. How Americans dress now speaks volumes as to where our National soul is at.\u201d<\/p>\n
