21 Times Michael Scott From 'The Office' Made You Very Thankful He's Not Your Boss

Moviefone
August 15, 2016 - 1 min read

Sometimes Michael Scott (The Office," and other times, we didn't hate him -- he just gave us a major case of secondhand embarrassment.  Here are 21 times Michael Scott made us thankful he's not our boss.

When he couldn't comprehend basic parts of his job

When he didn't even know what he was saying

When he hit one of his employees with his car

When he ruined rap music for us all

When he didn't realize that you're not supposed to get info from Wikipedia

When he didn't understand acronyms

When he offended all overweight people

When he decided he loved coats more than his employees

When he just ditched his job because reasons

When he talked to his HR manager like this

When he didn't understand how knocking worked and scarred Pam for life

When he itted that he knows nothing

When he didn't know how quotes work

When he made up his own dumb phrases accidentally

When he threatened the safety of his employees

When he was definitely always the Michelle Williams

When he didn't realize that you should know how to read before the age of five

When he was not great at constructive criticism

When he didn't understand boss/employee boundaries ...

... Ever

When he was basically us, and we shouldn't be anyone's boss
