Endgame Worst Ways to get Dusted - Finding Comedy in Tragedy

[Melpardus]

So of course we're entering Endgame in a post-Decimation world, and we'll presumably get to see a small glimpse of how the world is handling the loss of half its population, mostly as it relates to our heroes of course. But what about everyday people who were just going about their regular lives? What are some of the most interesting, inconvenient, or straight-up funny scenarios under which someone could get dusted or bare witness to a dustee?

To get the ball rolling with a few of my own examples:

• I'm thinking someone's Tinder date got circumstantially stood up when their date vanished and that guy's still at the bar waiting.
• That person who was on hold with tech support when the workers at that company got dusted.
• Someone got snapped mid-"alone time" and left behind a bunch of incriminating evidence...

There's about 3.8 billion casualties so someone somewhere in the MCU Earth probably experienced any of your suggestions.

Well if we're going for inconvenient...That poor cheerleader at the top of the formation when her teammates vanished below her.

The poor person who ordered a pizza and the delivery person got dusted. There's that awkward point when you aren't sure about calling the pizza place and even if you do...they probably don't have enough people on staff to deliver your food.

Or someone utterly losing it during an argument and then they turn to dust. Maybe saying "I could just explode!" There's going to be someone who isn't freaking out when seeing that.

Maybe you are in line somewhere and the only person who turns to dust is the person ahead of you in line. A quick look both ways before moving on up to order.

Playing 2v2 in Rocket League, and one player gets dusted. 2v1 is a hilarious even when you've got the two players.

That Thanos thought this thing through on multiple levels. I mean, sure... The line at the DMV is now shorter but they can't process your forms any quicker because they're working with half the staff.

You just recovered from a life threatening disease, only to get dusted minutes after the doctor told you can go home.

Me sitting in a plane only for the pilot to get dusted and make me scream for my life.

For other Marvel heroes:
Jean PhoeniX Grey gets resurrected for the billionth time, only to get dusted.

Magneto escapes from imprisonment only to get dusted minutes later.

The X-Men defeats the Apocalypse and the horsemen only to get dusterd minutes later.

Someone on Reddit pointed out there was probably an anti-vax parent out there who saw their child turn to dust right after his/her injection.

• A 98-year old man who wins the lottery but then gets dusted the next day
• A prisoner on death row about to be pardoned but then gets dusted
• Someone walking down the aisle on their wedding day
• A play-it-safe man who is too afraid to fly but then finally boards a plane only to get dusted
• People stuck in a traffic jam (we had that at the end of Infinity War)
• Someone on their cigarette break
• Someone meeting the person of their dreams and then that person gets dusted (and so does their spouse)
