18 Hilarious “Mundane Halloween” Costumes That Capture Everyday Situations In Extreme Detail
Halloween is famous for bringing out everyone’s flamboyant side, but it can also have a surprisingly dull twist—or at least, it can be portrayed that way. In fact, in Japan, a celebration known as the "Jimi" Halloween festival is dedicated entirely to capturing the everyday, mundane aspects of life.
The Jimi festival, which in Japanese translates to "plain" or "unpretentious," involves dressing up in the most mundane and relatable costumes imaginable that require lots of explanation.
Bored Panda takes a look at 18 costumes that capture everyday situations that we wish we'd thought of.

This reminded me of the protesters who glued themselves to the conductor-stand in the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg only to learn that it can be removed. They were brought to a storage room, were they could do nothing but looking stupid. Klima_Kleb...06b50b.jpg

I work across from a very small park. I watched a woman walk off the path to a tree just to put her Starbucks coffee cup in a pile of leaves and take a dozen photos. I thought it was pathetic.
