One of the more annoying things about me is that I can recite The Office to you like I can recite "Driver's License". It is one of my favorite shows and whenever I need to laugh it's my go to. Michael Scott is arguably one of the better characters on the show and he's a bit of a lunatic at times. Here are some of my favorite quotes from him:
"Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I liked to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it's not like this compulsive need like my need to be praised."
Excited Season 5 GIF by The OfficeGiphyI believe this quote truly embodies the enigma that is Michael Scott. Understanding his personality is a struggle, but this pretty much sums it up. Also, I can definitely relate sometimes! I think most of us can get in the mindset of thinking everyone has to like me, which is fine, but remember being okay with who you are is far more important than someone liking you.
"Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject so you know you are getting the best possible information."

"I learned a while back that if I do not text 911, people do not return my calls. Um, but people always return my calls because they think that something horrible has happened."

"The worst thing about prison was the Dementors. They were flying all over the place and they were scary and they'd come down and they'd suck the soul out of your body and it hurt!"
the office television GIFGiphyThis one.... I don't even know what to say. I hope i'm never in the situation where Dementors are real.
"And I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do."
No Way Abandon Thread GIFGiphyYeah, this is the quote most of us can probably resonate with the most.
