Extremely Short Timespan: Presumably no more than a few hours, as a man tries to get home during a terrible traffic jam.

Convenience Store Gift Shopping: The man winds up sitting on the bouquet of flowers and smashing them, when dragging another man out of his car (the other man thought it was a taxi). Desperate for something to bring home to his wife, the man stops at a store and gets a sunflower, which is so tall it sticks out of the sunroof of his car. (Then he later forgets this and closes the sunroof, slicing off the flower.)

Alcohol Hic: Eventually the woman, hungry and bored, tucks into the food at dinner—and the bottle of champagne. A "hic" follows.

Match Cut: From the wife putting a very small present under the napkin at dinner to the husband carrying a much bigger present.

Running Gag How the man keeps getting his car trapped by other cars. Once his car is trapped on the street by two cars parked in front of and behind it, close enough to touch. Another time he can't even get into his car when it's abutted by another car directly touching on the right side and a van touching on the left. The man who has to move his car to allow the husband to get out. This second man was in the middle of a shave. We see him repeatedly through the rest of the short, his chin covered by shaving cream, trying and failing to find another parking space.
