When Michael dated and then broke up with Pam's mother and Pam hit Michael in the face in front of her coworkers, was she being a bitch?


When Pam hit Michael and started her self-righteous demands that Michael never date anyone related to her, I think I pretty much decided that Pam is a bitch and quite possibly the least likable character in The Office, which is a shame because she wasn't always that way. It used to be Angela.

No

1. It was his idea
2. He was fine
3. The reason, manner of which, and timing of the breakup warranted a lot of anger

I get that you have a hate boner for pam but there are far scummier characters on the show

Maybe Dwight is less likable, especially with how he's gotten more openly hostile towards Michael after Michael refused to run that family-owned paper company out of business. Right now it's between him and Pam for most hateable character, though I'm only on season six, so if new developments occur I might change my mind.

EDIT: Oh, wait, Ryan's pretty horrible too. He's probably the worst. Then it's between Pam and Dwight.

i'd have to say yes. resorting to physical violence over such a issue seems extreme. few very scenarios outside of self defense do I find hitting someone to be acceptable

I'm not, you presumptuous little silly-billy. I just know that fans of The Office are divided on whether Pam is likable or not and I think it's interesting to see how people feel about her actions throughout the show.

Cathy was more of a guest character and really just a plot device

What really annoys me is Timothy Olyphant being in the show. They made such a big deal out of hiring him only for him to be a background character in a couple episodes and then he is practically never mentioned again.

Yes.

Kelly


No. Yeah, she's kind of obnoxious, but she hasn't done anything outright malicious outside of some petty competition with Pam.

Angela


Maybe at one point, but she seems to be getting progressively more likable whereas Pam is getting progressively less likable.

Gabe


Haven't gotten to him yet.

Good point.

Jan is pretty bad, yeah. Todd shows up so rarely that it's hard to dislike him since I forget he exists.

I dunno about that. Jim is the only one who seems to genuinely care about Michael. As far as him and Dwight go, Dwight is constantly trying to screw Jim over so I can't really fault Jim too much for the pranks. Plus Jim has tried to genuinely help Dwight on occasion despite Dwight not deserving it, like when he tried convincing Dwight not to fall on the sword for Michael over that golden ticket deal.

are you kidding me? Pam really cares about Michael. but he way overstepped healthy boundaries with dating her mother and dumping her that way.

he's semi-regular at a few points in the series. he is horrible. he is the worst.

Really? I don't get that impression. Especially after the whole "I could give a shit about your happiness" bit. I don't think Pam cares about anyone but herself and Jim.

Jim, at least, consistently shows sympathy to Michael and tries to help him out of awkward spots. Pam just seems to tolerate Michael at best, which, to be fair, is pretty understandable given that it's Michael. But I don't think she cares about him.

That may well be. Just finished the first episode to introduce Sabre, for the record.

I broke the tie!

Also, back in the day, I used to think the office was way better than parks and rec, but after rewatching the office, and actually watching parks and rec, my opinion has flipped.

Parks and rec is just so much more uplifting and light hearted. So much more fun than the office

It also does a better job of rounding out its entire cast and just has plain better characters.

Todd was the worst, tbh. What a fucking d-bag, although that was the whole joke.
