15 Things About Pam And Michaels Relationship That Make No Sense
Fans of The Office know that one of the most loved aspects of the series is the relationships that develop between the people working at Dunder Mifflin. Whether it is romantic or platonic, these relationships are key in people coming back to watch the show again and again. Jim and Pam may be the power couple from the series, but the relationship that Pam shares with her boss, Michael Scott, is one that should be looked at a little more closely.
Once the series officially gets underway, we learn that the pair have known each other for some time. As the series progresses, we see some interesting ripples in their relationship develop, and while some of these things are perfectly fine, there are other moments that make absolutely no sense at all.
Today, we are going to look at the moments between Pam and Michael that simply do not work.
15 Pam Forced Him To Sit In The Back Of The Car
Seeing two friends ride in a car together is completely normal, but there are times when Michael is forced to sit in the backseat of Pam’s car. This most notably happens after the Diwali part that the two attend. Why would a real friend to someone make them sit in the back?
14 Michael Giving Her The Longest Engagement Dundy
Most people would assume that friends would be in tune with the things that bother their friends, but this is not the case with Michael and Pam. For several years running, Michael gives Pam the Longest Engagement Dundie, and this is something that has always rubbed her the wrong way.
13 Pam Slapped Him In Front Of Everyone
This was something that may have been deserved, but the way that it went down is what left us confused. Pam gets heated with Michael after he starts dating her mom, and we cannot really blame her. However, she winds up cracking her boss in the face in front of everyone.
12 Michael Dates Pam's Mom
Let it never be said that this was a good idea. We get that Michael is older and wants to find a partner, but he and Pam are supposed to be friends. Why in the world did he think it was a good idea to date her mom? This was a selfish move.
11 Pam Sees Michael Naked And Still Works For His Paper Company
There are actually multiple instances of this happening, and we still don’t get it. Pam has walked in on Michael changing in the past, and she saw his junk when he was sulking after starting the Michael Scott Paper Company. Still, she decides to stick around and work for the guy.
10 Michael Reveals Her Pregnancy To Everyone
Okay, so we are going to give Michael some grace here, because this was not intentional. However, it is something that he should have had a little more control of. Michael is the reason why Pam’s pregnancy leaks around the office, and this is not something a friend would have done.
9 Michael's Secret Conversation With Pam At The Airport
Now, Michael Scott is someone that loves attention and he loves having all eyes on him. So, when he finally leaves Dunder Mifflin, he tries to do so secretly. Furthermore, he turns off his microphone when he gives Pam some parting words. Why in the world would he choose to be modest now?
8 Pam Avoids Hanging Out With Michael At All Costs
Friends usually like to hang out with one another, but this is just not the case between these two. As much as Michael wants to spend time with Pam, she and Jim do everything in their power to avoid hanging out with him. They eventually got roped into dinner at his place.
7 Their Awkward Embrace At Pam's Art Show
Michael is one of the few people that actually shows up and supports Pam at her art show, and they wind up having a touching embrace when she is overcome with motion. However, this gives way to an awkward moment, but we have to wonder why Pam got so weird about things with her supposed friend.
6 Michael Calls Pam Ugly When She Wears Her Glasses
Michael is known for saying things that he probably shouldn’t, and this was especially true when Pam had to wear her glasses to work. Michael refers to her as “ugly” when she is wearing her glasses, which is exceptionally harsh. A real friend would have been supportive or tried to at least be funny.
5 Pam Blasts Him For The Scott's Tots Mistake
We all make mistakes, and while our friends should always keep it real with us, they should also be the people that have our back. After it is revealed that Michael made a massive mistake with the Scott’s Tots debacle, Pam put him on blast and refuses to give him any support.
4 Michael Tries To Kiss Pam
Michael and Pam have always been friends and nothing more than that. The pair wind up having a touching moment after Carol & Michael break up, but Michael then tries to kiss Pam, which causes her to pull away. After all the time they spent knowing each other, why did he think this was a good idea?
3 Pam Manipulates Michael
This is something that real friends would never do to one another, and Pam is guilty of this. Michael can be easily confused, but this does not mean that one of his friends should manipulate him. Pam has done this on the show, and we can’t understand why she’d do this to a friend.
2 Michael Pretended To Fire Her
There are plenty of moments in the series that see Michael do things that irritate and genuinely anger his employees, and he never really learns his lesson. Early on, he pretends to fire Pam, which causes her to cry. Shouldn’t he know her well enough to not do something like this?
1 She Berates Michael For Quitting Dunder Mifflin
Pam quits Dunder Mifflin and follows Michael out the door when he decides to start his own company. However, when things aren’t working, tension breaks out in the Michael Scott Paper Company and Pam blasts him for leaving Dunder Mifflin. You know, the same thing that she did. What a great friend.
