30 Times People Were So Blinded By Their Own Nostalgia, The Internet Called Them Out For It (New Pics)

Remember when people could live on what they were paid? Me either, that was before my time. I’ll wear my pjs to be comfy while coping with crushing weight of corporate greed’s drain on society.

Ah yes, a photo of a typical trip to the grocery shop way-back-when. The husband would always accompany the wife. There's no way he would work 9-5 and then go out with the boys.

Back in the day, my mother never left the house without wearing a girdle. Not to go to the grocery store, not to go on vacation, or to go to a PTA meeting. Inside the house, she didn’t wear one, but I have clear memories of her struggling to get that damn thing on. I also remember visiting Williamsburg VA one summer. If you’ve ever been in the southeast US in summer, you know what I mean. When we got back to the hotel room free walking around all day, she went to shower and change for dinner. That’s when she found out her girdle’s elastic waistband had melted enough to fuse with her underwear’s elastic waistband, because it was hot that day, and she’d been exercising and getting hot herself with all the walking we did. That was in the early seventies, and the moment I decided I would never wear a girdle—-they’re called Spanx today, btw. I never have worn one, I just try to stay in relatively good shape and buy clothes that actually fit. Now that I live in Maryland, I am much much cooler in summer than my mother was back in the day, I can tell you.

I don't like wearing my pyjamas during the day anyway

Remember when your Father's job was enough to have a middle class lifestyle where Mom stayed at home and guaranteed everyone had clean ironed clothes and home cooked meals instead of working two shifts then blasting something in a microwave for dinner?

But, back then pjs had an obvious look to them. Today, the same set can be sold in one store in the pj section, and every day wear in another. I buy pjs like that for the exact reason that I can stay in my pjs during the day (having a chronic illness where I am in bed sick more than not), but can pass as dressed if a visitor stops by, or the 10 minutes it takes to drop off or pick up the kids from school. I wore pjs to a medical procedure and the doctor had no idea, commenting they wanted the same cute outfit.

Yes, and he probably only paid $15 for that cart of groceries 🙄🙄

Now see, my nostalgic thought seeing this picture was, remember when a family of four could buy a full cart of groceries every week on a single person's paycheck?

I'm not a fan of the pajama look but I'll take it over wearing a full suit and tie to go grocery shopping.

As long as it's not your "staying in bed" pajamas, for me you can do what you want. At least wear an "outdoor" pajamas

No but I didnt wear my church clothes to grocery store

I never did or will never do that, I wore my undead pirate costume with fake scar tattoos up my neck as a 6 year old

I'll take pajamas over putting on a suit every time I needed to go to the store.

if i was making a very comfortable living wage with one job supporting my family of four and my two story house in the suburbs maybe i’d dress like that who’s to say

Remember when you could afford a house and nice suit on minimum wage and only one stream of income?

For real though!

I can't shake the feeling/fact that my family back then wouldn't be allowed in that store and if one of them so much as walked on the sidewalk the mother would hold the daughter against her and would have the shopkeeper make them leave.

Bruh, you're lucky I put pants on in any decade

I'm pretty urge this image was uncommon as well. Dad would've been at work, kids would've been in school!

Imagine grabbing rotisserie chicken from Costco in a suit. 😂
