Forgot to take out the trash, the Halloween costume.
"Too embarrassed" to wear glitzy, showy Halloween costumes, a group of folks in Japan decided to start wearing "mundane" ones starting in 2014. These hilarious "jimi Halloween" costumes feature people in ordinary, everyday types of situations.
Like, here's a lady who is playing a "camera assistant for children's photo studio":

This lady is a YouTuber testing lipstick colors:
「めっちゃ可愛くないですか!!??」を甲高い声で繰り返し言うと美容系YouTuberになれます
会場で「本当にYouTubeやってるんですか!?」って色んな方に言われました

Mundane? Sure. Boring? Never. Clever? Yes, my god, yes!
