Mundane made awesome: The Game.

As a firm lover of this trope, I wanted to have a fun game with that: Someone says something mundane, and we try the most awesome way to work about it.

"Somebody working on railroad station"

You can have the game, but games go in the Games Section of the forum, please. This doesn't really fit in Writer's Block.

Okay... He pretends the spikes to hold the rails together are demons and that his hammer belongs to Thor.

Playing Chinese Checkers.

You are playing with giant pieces using Jaegers with Pacific Rim music playing in the background.

You are getting dressed.

It becomes a Transformation Sequence, with exaggerated movements, Audible Gleams on your buttons and belt buckle, and an awesome Stock Footage-style background. Oh, and the old clothes are thrown across the room. Where they crack the wall on hitting it.

Riding the train to work/school.

The train is running through a gorgeous futuristic city that's suspended In Space, and the job you're going to involves controlling the Jaegers from Pacific Rim.

You are eating waffles.

While beating up Chuck Norris AND Bruce Lee.

Dying.

You just got shot. By a Titan. You fail to understand why it didn't just eat you, but it decided that gunshot wounds add flavor. As it eats you, Mikasa kills the Titan but unfortunately it is too late.

Shopping for food.

You are a badass ninja who steals everything you need off of the shelves, and you instantly kill anyone who sees you in cold blood.

Cracking a nut

You crack the nut. With your teeth. In overly gratuitous slow motion while Ride of the Valkyries plays in the background.

Jumping in a pool.

When you dive in, all the water in the pool flies up into the air. You hit the hard cement at the bottom, but before you can examine your injuries the water falls back down, suffocating you.

Logging on to TV Tropes.

You don't have a computer, so you assemble a powerful gaming PC yourself.

Waiting in line at the DMV.

It's actually a test by your master in order to improve your focus.

Walking.

...for the first time in months or years after a serious accident because of your persistence and tenacity at rehab.

Knitting.

With katanas, and the intestines of a dragon you just killed.

Digesting food.

Digesting hyper-hot peppers.

On an airline.

Ready to jump off in a parachute into a hole in the fabric of space and time.

Writing a novel.
