3* '''Exaggerated''': It takes him a month to finish the above tasks.
4* '''Downplayed''': Bob occasionally performs mundane tasks, but only when it's relevant to the plot. (For instance, after changing clothes, his new outfit causes someone to mistake him for a look-alike.)
5* '''Justified''':
6** The amount of time it takes for Bob to complete his quests is relatively short (an hour or less).
7** BladderOfSteel

17** But it can't store '''that''' much.
18* '''Parodied''':
19** Bob stores his unneeded belongings in his kitchen and bathroom, since he rarely uses either of those rooms.
20** Whenever Bob considers that he may need a bathroom break, he frequently procrastinates every chance he has to relieve himself.
21* '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob can go days without eating or going to the bathroom, but then he has to eat and go to the bathroom for days on end.
22* '''Averted''':
23** [[AntiPoopSocking Bob takes breaks on his quest]].
24** The quest is a very short quest; there shouldn't be any need to take a break in the middle.

30* '''Discussed''': ???
31* '''Conversed''': ???
32* '''Implied''': A time-lapse of several different things is happening. Bob is carrying out his to-do list items, and [[BigBad Alice]] is [[BigBrotherIsWatching watching]] Bob's bathroom and kitchen. The time is shown and Bob never visits these places.
33* '''Deconstructed''': Bob suffers from a rare condition in which he simply does not feel hunger, thirst, or urges to use the bathroom.
34* '''Reconstructed''': His body has adapted to this condition, so even after it's cured, he still doesn't ''need'' to do those things very often.
35* '''Played for Laughs''': Bob doesn't realize he'd never stopped to for a bathroom break ... until Alice points it out, and suddenly finds he has [[CentipedesDilemma an all-consuming urge to pee]] and [[PottyEmergency precious few bathrooms to go in.]]
