Japan's hilarious Jimi Halloween (jimi means "mundane") event is where participants dress up in "costumes" that illustrate boring everyday situations. There's a list of these on Twitter, and below are some of our faves from this year:

Person who was headed out but forgot something inside the home, is too lazy to take their shoes off so crawls back inside to retrieve it

Person trying to photograph something shiny but the reflection is preventing a good shot, so they improvise a way to block the light

Person who looks like they will be getting off at the next stop, meaning their seat will be available

Considerate boyfriend

Cashier forced to wear holiday-specific partial costume

Girl who is on the poster for "My Neighbor Totoro" but who never actually appears in the movie

Person who tries to reach for subway handle without taking eyes off their phone and misses

The person who has to hold the ribbons and scissors at ribbon-cutting ceremonies

Office worker responding to an emergency

Guy reading in bed who accidentally drops his smartphone on his face

Person who traveled to period costume event but forgot the wig

Person who wants to photograph their pets, but cannot reach their phone without disturbing the pets and thus ruining the shot

Person who gets their sleeve caught on the doorknob

Guy who missed the last train of the night

Person who makes it easy for restaurant workers to clean up

Person sitting in an aisle seat who is trying to see Mt. Fuji after hearing the captain's announcement

Person trying on eyeglass frames in a store but their vision is so poor they can't see what they look like in the mirror

Person who mis-poured the beer and must wait for the bubbles to go down

A parent trying to play Mario Kart

Politician who has been instructed not to tell the truth by his party, and his mind goes blank in the middle of the press conference as he realizes that the BS answers he's giving sound strange even to him

When the store clerk seems busy and hasn't gotten to you, so you pretend to be doing something on your smartphone so as not to put pressure on them
