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.

Person Standing In Line At The Security Checkpoint Of An Airport
The one situation that's just as full of suspense as an actual Halloween thriller.

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

My husband & I did this ONE time. Bridezillas are real and they whine among us. It was a distant relative of his, so we offered to do it for travel costs ($500 US) IN ADVANCE. She threw a fit, her Mom threw a fit and I (the tough one out of the two of us) said, "Tough tits. Pay us $500 for expenses, in advance, or we will not be there. Period". No money. No money. 1 week before the wedding I emailed said Bridezilla and asked if she still wanted us to shoot her wedding. "Of, course!" she says. "Okay, where's our $500 expense fee?" "Oh, we'll just give you cash the day of". "No, that's not how it works, this is not how anything works. We would have to pay for gas, since your venue is 3.5 hours from us, rent a room, pay for meals, etc. You need to transfer the money into our PayPal account by the end of day tomorrow or we will NOT be photographing your wedding". We never got the money, so we didn't show up at the wedding. F*ck you, Avery.

These aren't dull at all. They really show a sense of humor and a lot of creativity. I love them.
