10 Things From "The Office" That I Wish Were Real

"The Office" goes beyond just humor, heart, and bunches of paper.

10 Things From "The Office" That I Wish Were Real
Doug Kerr

Since it first aired in 2005, “The Office” has cemented itself as a classic American comedy series. With over the top workplace shenanigans and an inefficient boss, many of us are left thinking “Thank God I don’t work at a place like that.” Nevertheless, the universe of “The Office” has some pretty cool stuff that I wish really existed.

1. Pretzel Day.

The episode where we all related to Stanley more than ever before. Although Pretzel day does exist (mark your calendar for April 26th), it’d be nice if every workplace observed the holiday like the Scranton Business Park.

2. Princess Unicorn.

My horn can pierce the sky! If only something like this existed during my childhood. You can never go wrong with a princess doll or a toy unicorn. However, a toy with the royalty of a princess combined with the magic of unicorn is a game changer.

3. Prison Mike.

Underneath that hard exterior lies a gentle soul. I think we’d all learn something about ourselves, the prison system, and dementors if given the chance to speak with this reformed convict.

4. Belsnickle.

Have you been impish or admirable? If children were raised with the frightening Belsnickle instead of jolly Santa, we’d have less of these darned millennials buying avocado toast over houses.

5. Suck It.

Maybe a better name for David Wallace’s invention is needed, but it’s not a bad idea. A vacuum tube designed for children that cleans their room for them couldn’t possibly have any safety hazards.

6. Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.

Bob and Phyllis are one of the most overlooked couples of the show. Let’s not forget that in the Crime-Aid episode of season 6, Bob Vance paid a thousand dollars just to hug Phyllis. Jim and Pam who?

7. Threat Level Midnight.

Michael Scott gifted us with a masterpiece in season seven. There’s been a lot of buzz about a potential Office reunion, but I’d rather see Michael’s lifelong dream turn into a reality.

8. "Somehow I Manage" By Michael Scott.

Michael’s famed unpublished memoir on his life and management style. The cover even features a picture of Michael shrugging. It shouldn’t take very long for it to hit bookstores, as he’s already written it all in his head.

9. Charles Miner.

He was kind of a jerk to Jim, but it wasn’t completely undeserved given that he’s known to slack. I just wish that I had a boss that was an exact replica of Idris Elba, that’s all.

10. Belles, Bourbon, and Bullets.

There’s been a murder in Savannah, I do declare! In season 6 episode 10, Michael pulls out a murder mystery board game known as Belles, Bourbon and Bullets. Characters include Caleb Crawdad, Deb U. Tante, and Voodoo Mama JuJu


"The Office" is a show that will forever be in the hearts of its fans. Someday, maybe some of these neat ideas will be in our hands.

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.
