Theories about 'the office' that might be true


Creed Bratton isn't who he says he is

In one episode, Creed states that he always transfers his debt to an account under the name William Charles Schneider. In another, he tells us that the last guy who stole from him was never seen again, and that his name was Creed Bratton. ..And if you watch the show, if you remember the episode 'Money' from season 4, Creed even flashes his real passport, and it reveals the name William Charles Schneider.

Michael has dad issues as to why he hates Toby so much

Sure, there are plenty of reasons why Michael probably hates Toby, but if we all look at the stuff Michael gets away with, it's clear that Toby never comes down hard on him as he should. Toby could have easily got Michael fired plenty of times. My theory is that Michael's parents divorced when he was young, and he now channels his anger and feelings of abandonment towards Toby, who is a divorced father. To add fuel to the fire, Toby also represents Michael's worst nightmare: a lonely, divorced father who rarely gets to see his kid. After all, all Michael really wants is to have a family and be happy.

Toby is the Scranton Strangler

Remember that Toby disappeared to Costa Rica and returned a different person right when the killings started. He was also on the jury that convicted the killer, despite personal feeling that the man was innocent. While in the episode when Toby goes to "visit" the strangler in prison and ends up in the hospital, someone may have recognized him as the strangler and beat him up.

Stanley and Phylis had an affair before the show

During Sexual Harassment', when Toby tells everyone that they must disclose all office romances to HR, Phyllis asks if one-night stands count. Stanley has been known to cheat on his wives/spouses. Phyllis is very promiscuous. The two of them have always been very close. Also, in 'The Merger', when Karen can't stand Phyllis' perfume, Stanley mentioned that he's sat downwind of her stinky perfumes for years. Stanley at one point may have enjoyed the perfume, but after the affair, the scent turned into a bad memory."Also, in season two's "Conflict Resolution", there's an exchange in which Phyllis says, "Stanley and I are close, too", to which Stanley replies "We sit close." Perhaps this is the "bitter cooings of ex-lovers"?

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.

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.
