13 Feels Employees Get When It’s Closing Time, As Only Andy Bernard Can Truly Do Justice

What time is it? Closing time!

It's the most glorious time of day. It is officially closing time.

Any employee can relate to that feeling you get when you check the time and see that it is closing time. Some people have to fight the urge to run around, singing and dancing, because they're just so happy. Then, there are those who continue to work until the last possible second and finally leave.

Andy Bernard from "The Office" understood how to shut an office down the right way, especially when he made everyone sing along to "Closing Time."

Now, of course not every office can be that cool, but we've all experienced at least one of these feels when it was closing time.

1. It’s time to go home. *throws papers up in the air*

Giphy

Everyone stop what you're doing. Toss your work aside. It's time to go.

2. Hello customers, we are CLOSED. Please leave.

Giphy

Do you see the time? We are closed. Turn around.

3. Thank goodness I don’t have to smile like an idiot anymore.

Giphy

I can finally wipe this smile off my face that has been here since this morning. Can you tell it's totally fake by now?

4. At the end of the day, the smile just turns into an awkward grimace.

Giphy

I feel that this smile has become deformed. I hope I haven't scared anyone.

5. We can run around like crazy people because we are CLOSED.

Giphy

Turn the music up!

6. Why am I the only one who is happy about closing time?

Giphy

No one seems to be excited, like me... I wonder why.

7. After work, you get to be a totally different person.

Giphy

You can be anyone you want because it is closing time.

8. Everyone, HURRY. I was done hours ago.

Giphy

I know it's not a contest, but I'm just always done first. Maybe others just drag their work out.

9. I’m so tired of hearing people speak.

Giphy

If another person talks to me about work, I might just snap.

10. Let’s reflect on the day. I think it went well.

Giphy

I think it was a pretty productive day, don't you?

11. Did the phone just ring? Do NOT answer it.

Giphy

Don't touch that phone. We are closed.

12. Is it bad that I’m always the first one out the door?

Giphy

It's not that I have to be first. I'm just always ready to go.

13. Peace out. I’m out of here.

Giphy

It has been real, guys. It's time say goodbye and goodnight.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
