Dwight: Security in this place is horrible. I once brought a potato gun in that can shoot a potato at 60 psi. I had it with me all day. **Can you imagine what could happen if I was deranged?** ---

[QUOTE=cbawlmer] I could have sworn all those boxes said something like “File Storage”. I’ve deleted it from our TiVo so I can’t check, but I think they were all meant to be old files. I doubt they were ALL about Michael, but the complaints were definitely getting buried in a bunch of old paperwork that no one would ever see again. [/QUOTE] They did say storage, I remember looking to see if they were storage boxes or just boxes of blank paper. ---

I liked Creed’s complaint: “I don’t like sitting and looking at the redhead. I want to sit facing the receptionist.” He doesn’t even know their names! 😃 ---

I loved Jim’s humorless mouthing of “That’s what she said” along with Michael, illustrating, again, how predictable and unfunny Michael must be. I also loved the use of “save the date” as a noun (I can’t stand that phrase much anyway). Toby’s having logged Kelly’s “complaint” that Ryan won’t call her back was great. ---

I liked the fact that Kelly was completely unaware that the fact she had just had a ‘really great conversation’ was because the other person _did not say anything._ ---

:smack: Wrong Office thread, sorry. ---

[QUOTE=Hentor the Barbarian] Toby’s having logged Kelly’s “complaint” that Ryan won’t call her back was great. [/QUOTE] Or Michael’s response to that: “Join the club.” ---

What does “save the date” mean? I didn’t know what Pam and Angela were talking about. ---

“Save the date” is sort of a pre-wedding, wedding invitation. You’re told to keep a date free and then later you get the whole overblown invitation with an RSVP card and such. ---

Wasn’t there something about how Angela was complaining about Dwight “until about six months ago. What happened six months ago?” meaning that’s when they started seeing each other? ---

[QUOTE=gigi] Wasn’t there something about how Angela was complaining about Dwight “until about six months ago. What happened six months ago?” meaning that’s when they started seeing each other? [/QUOTE] Yes. It’s been six months since “the party” where they hooked up. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-office-5-4-open-spoilers/355507.md?page=2)
