10 Iconic The Office Quotes Say Way More Than We'd Like To Admit

As scary as it is to think, we closed the doors at Dunder Mifflin for the last time over a decade ago with the last ever episode of The Office (US) hitting our screens back in 2013.

Really though, we've never said goodbye to the office pranks, romances, or wild Christmas parties thanks to Meredith as we're still as hooked as ever on this cult TV show that has planted so many iconic quotes right into our minds and... to be honest everyday life far more than we'd care to really admit.

With so many classic moments that have just stuck with us and all the incredible quotes and one-liners, we thought we would share some of the weird and wonderful quotes that appear way more in our everyday lives than they should... as we can't be the only ones, right?

"Well, well, well... how the turntables..." - Michael Scott

Such a classic moment from the 5th season when Michael, Pam and Ryan (AKA Michael Scott Paper Company) face David Wallace and Charles Miner who are keen to buy his paper company after they managed to steal a major client. A true change of fortune!

"I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious." - Michael Scott

You can be just a little stitious, right? It's totally a thing once Micheal says it anyways and we've fully adopted this idea.

"That is sort of an oaky afterbirth." - Michael Scott

You just can't help but love the subtle errors in things Micheal says. It's just more reason to love him! You'd be stunned just how many times we're able to drop this in with fellow The Office friends. The more out of place and unexpected, the better.

"I am running away from my responsibilities. And it feels good." - Michael Scott

Only Micheal would attempt to run away on a train that's coming to a stop. After he's taken all he can with money trouble and working all hours in secret, he decides to try and simply run away and you know what... we'd be right there with you Micheal!

"The eyes are the groin of the head." - Dwight Schrute

Being the expert on all things combat and martial arts that he is, we're taking all kinds of notes to any tips from a 'senpai' no less so this one is well worth remembering... and remember we have!

"I love inside jokes. Love to be part of one someday." - Michael Scott

Now if this line isn't so darn endearing we just don't know what is! Another glimpse into Michael's life and one we're always keen to pull out at any opportunity, this line gives us all the feels as Michael runs into Jim again at THE convention.

"Whenever I'm about to do something, I think, 'Would an idiot do that?' And if they would, I do not do that thing." - Dwight Schrute

After Micheal tells Dwight not to be an idiot, you know Dwight is going to take it to heart and reveals he lives his life by this one simple rule... it is actually genius!

"And I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do." - Michael Scott

Probably more of a reality than we'd be keen to share, sometimes just like Micheal you need to admit you might not be totally in your depth but that's exactly where you need to be sometimes.

"Maybe next time you will estimate me." - Michael Scott

Ever feel like someone is underestimating you? Well... maybe they should estimate you! The hilarious turn of phrase from Michael at the convention in season 3 and one to keep tucked in your back pocket.

"Why are you the way that you are?" - Michael Scott

Is someone looking to be a total Toby and ruin the fun? Whether it's casino night or someone leaving used tea bags in the sink, you've always got this iconic one-liner to bring out just so they know how you feel.
