The Office: Last Night's Most Relatable Moments

It's difficult to pick the most relatable moments from last night's episode of The Office, because the whole thing had me flashing back to previous office moments of my own! Well, except for the ferris wheel and fireworks at Toby's going away party. But the whole premise of being suspicious of a new co-worker - in this case Toby's replacement, Holly - was pretty spot on. While we (hopefully!) don't creepily peek through blinds and watch the new person like Michael and Dwight in the clip below, there's certainly plenty of judgment surrounding a new employee on her first day.

Most of us have probably been on both sides of the situation - we've felt like the new kid at school and slightly territorial when somebody new joins the team. Dwight says to Holly, "Have you met Kevin, he's here on a special work program. He's slow, ya know, in his brain." Then he follows up with the camera and says, "Hazing is a fun way to show a new employee that she is not welcome or liked." I don't know about hazing, but there's definitely a suspicious curiosity that surfaces when a new employee comes along. Check out the clip below of Michael and Dwight plotting against Holly, and if you missed last night's season finale BuzzSugar has the full recap.

Last night's episode of The Office followed Michael, Pam, Oscar, and Darryl on their field trip to the job fair at a local high school. Michael told Pam to bring only one piece of paper with them to the fair, because "a blank sheet of paper equals endless possibilities." When a kid signs his name on the single sheet of paper, Michael insists that it's damaged goods and unusable. Michael sends Pam on the hunt for a new sheet of paper and she's obviously frustrated with Micheal's stubborn and insensible antics. Are any of you familiar with I-want-things-the-way-I-want-them demands (even if they don't make any logical sense) that Pam has to deal with from her boss? I've sure been there before. Check out the clip below, and if you missed last night's episode BuzzSugar has a full recap!
