DEAR MISS MANNERS: When I went to the DMV to get a temporary tag, I noticed that every person in line -- about 25 people, from young to middle-aged -- was wearing their pajamas and flip-flops. They all looked like they had just rolled out of bed.
They were also all on their phones, oblivious to others. I felt like I was in their bedrooms or bathrooms, not in a public building.
Is it too much to ask another person to put on some decent clothes, wash their face, take their hair out of a shower cap, brush their teeth and brush their hair before being out in public? Is sloppy the new chic?
It’s downright disgusting and disrespectful of others. Do they go to school like this? To work? To church? Where are the boundaries?
I am befuddled and feel disrespected. I don’t have millions of dollars
