Official Mundane Bingo Sign Up Post!

Comment for a card.

If you'd prefer a card that does not skew towards an American or European perspective of mundane, please make a note in your sign up post. Thanks to the community, we have many prompts that represent many flavors of mundane.

Mod Edit: 12/23/2010

All cards should now be assigned out. Card assignments are now on hold for this round, and thanks everyone.

(Card assignments will probably re-open at some point in the new year. The last quarter of 2010 was sort of Murphy's Law in action for your mod.)

If we run a second round of this, I think I'll gather prompts based on setting! For now, tweak as required, and consider the prompts in the spirit of the prompt, not the letter of the prompt.

Swerving constantly to avoid potholes
asking for/being asked for a loan
(Another) full day traveling by boat
first day wearing new perfume
birth: hospital physician-assisted
winding the clocks
drinking a hot beverage on a cold day
late to work
Someone makes an overly personal remark about your physical appearance.
Trying to find where they set down/hid the To-Do list.
Trapped between an oncoming car on one side and a sheet of ice on the other.
Hiking
FREE SPACE!
-being stood up
going to pick up more clothes detergent but the store is out of your preferred kind
card games
pause in [activity] to observe prayer
-napping
hoping that school is cancelled
The meeting that just won't end
Realised you forgot to bring toilet paper
Going through airport security
Climbing the pomelo/other tree for fresh fruit
Attending a sporting event
meal preparation
