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.

That's genuinely scary 😅 I keep messing up with things during packing and end up with the weirdest shirt in the carry on. Winners include, a jar of tom yam sauce, almost full water bottle and a full on wine and beer bottle opener. Still the most suspicious a guard has gotten was when I had two cameras with me 🙄

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
