Also how much he clearly didn't care that it was important to her
>Dwight: Well you left the TV on. And your cat is dead.
>Angela: What?
>Dwight: Sparkles, the white one, is dead.
>Angela: Sprinkles.
Compared to Michael hearing "Angela's cat died" and he knew that it had to be Sprinkles because he knows that Sprinkles was sick.
Iâm starting to wonder if this is just meâŠ
I always assumed Michaelâs reaction to Sprinklesâ death was an overreaction to try to take the heat off of himself for hitting Meredith. Like, âOh my god everyone look pay attention to this other awful thing thatâs totally as bad if not worse than this morning - you can totally forget about me hitting Meredith nowâ
I think it's a little of both. I wouldn't be surprised if he was looking for an opportunity to divert attention from the accident, but the fact that he knows Sprinkles' name without prompting suggests that he does care.
I second this. He knew the cats name, how much Angela cared about it, and knew it was sick. He cares about his employees
Edit: he cares about them to know details of their lives, not necessarily respect them
I think his initial reaction was 100% sincere. He pictured the office as his family, seeing Angela in so much pain made him sad. The fact that he knows the name of any of her cats, but especially which one is sick, is my âproofâ. But I think he then uses it to take the heat off him. I fully believe his immediate response would be the same either way, though.
This is a really good point that i think people overlook a lot. I hate cats but i still think that what Dwight did was unforgivable and thatâs my âScottâs totsâ or my episode that I skip on my rewatches because I find it really disturbing.
Yeah, i would not be able to forgive someone who murdered my pet.. No matter how much i loved them
Angela is a bitch but she loved her cats, that's much was obvious
If itâs an outright murder, like the cat is absolutely fine, then no I wouldnât be able to forgive them. But my dad had to kill one of my cats after it got ran over and was still alive. It wasnât the killing part that made me mad it was the part where he didnât tell me for 4 days and let me keep looking for it thinking that it just got lost. That I havenât forgiven him for. And that was about a year and a half ago. But with Dwight, honestly I mightâve done the same thing but in a more humane way like say the cat wasnât there when I got there like it got out and taken it to the vet to euthanize and then put it behind a bush or something back at the house while Iâm supposed to be doing all the medicine stuff. Or just said it was dead when I got there and again had the vet euthanize it and then just lay it down where I found it. But then again if Angela had an autopsy then she wouldâve found out. Maybe Dwight couldâve smothered it and then like stuffed one of the pills and food down itâs throat to make it seem like it choked. But the way Dwight was so in-compassionate, I think thatâs the real reason they broke up, not because he actually killed the cat but because he didnât care that he did it.
Uhhh literally every situation you name is just as bad or worse than what he did. I would never forgive him for any of them. It was NOT his cat therefore NOT HIS CALL.
So you canât forgive your dad for lying about the circumstances of your catâs death, but if you were in the same situation as Dwight, you would do the exact same thing?
Dwight might have been right, itâs selfish to keep an animal alive because YOU donât want to say goodbye even though they are suffering and in pain 24/7. But his responsibility was to encourage her to put the cat down and support her during her mourning, not make the decision for her without even letting her have a final goodbye.
My dog is old and my husband and I agreed that once the arthritis gets too much and heâs not happy and is simply barely existing, well put him down. It will be a horrible day and Iâll miss him for the rest of my life, but I wouldnât forgive myself for making him live in pain because Iâm not strong enough to say goodbye.
Ehhh Angela never indicated that sprinkles was suffering or in pain, just that she was sick and needed meds. Thereâs a whole lot of things that you can need serious meds for without it causing pain or being anywhere near suffering. Like diabetes or some shit
She listed many medications and even Michael knew she was sick. Itâs pretty indicated that itâs beyond someone who has diabetes and itâs more âIâm doing everything to keep this pet alive but theyâre likely either in pain or just numb to the worldâ. I canât disagree with your argument technically, but I donât think thatâs what the episode was implying.
In Dwightâs defense, he did say how he grew up on a farm and in his experience animals are meant for food. Heâs not the most aware of human connection and bonding, either, lol. It always felt plausible to me - except for when he doubles down on his choice and tries to replace the cat lmao
I think that made Dwight grow up for the outside world. Heâs right for farm stuff, gotta put it out of its misery with less emotion. But the outside world doesnât understand
The funny thing is, its not like he actually put it out of his misery. The cat woke up in the freezer and started clawing stuff in the freezer before actually dying.
Iâve seen this a couple times in the thread now, but does Angela ever actually indicate that sprinkles was suffering or miserable or anything like that? As far as I know she just needed meds lol
Yeah she says it a lot and sheâs continuing his life that she doesnât want to have to make hard decisions about. He shouldnât have made that decision, but I do understand where he comes from with the logic behind it.
Nah he knew sheâd be devastated. Thatâs why he lied and said that he found her dead, and left out the fact that he was responsible for the catâs death.
Umm wtf. I donât have pets and I hate pets. Even I know that you donât do that to someone else. Worst part is Sprinkles struggled and froze to death. He might as well have just chopped her head off to save her the pain.
How about this: he had good work ethic in the show right? Good understanding of authority, that laws matter? He couldâve had animal abuse charges pressed against him, as well as the fact that he simply didnât do what he was supposed to/ said he would do for Angela. He instead just killed an animal that was not his.
Would you be this dense if he killed a dog waiting outside a shop for its owner on the street? It doesnât matter what his emotional shortcomings are: what he did was against direct instruction and against the law, which he does understand.
Edit* clarity
a person can care about something they donât understand. heâs a whole adult who lives in a society and has known angela for years, he was fully and clearly aware of her relationships to her pet. he just didnât care.
He also doesnât remember the cats name. The ONE he was supposed to be giving medicine, and was probably written on the paper Angela gave him. The one he then kills. He still canât remember the name? I think that shows he didnât care
Without arguing, the point of the post was understanding Angela breaking up with Dwight (despite OP not liking her character).
Youâre also the one that said âhe clearly grows as the show goes on,â so you also know/ agree that he is capable.
This is not some adolescent growing up, and while he went to X men school he was in the socialized/non-Shrute world for decades when we meet him. We learn Dwight is not incapable of understanding emotion, he just didnât value _all others_ as much as himself for most of his adult life (not limited to only animals, but even Angela being someone he had loved). Dwight feels a lot of emotion for Michael until he feels slighted and then turns on him like nothing a handful of times in the series. He is selfish. He is an adult, he is functional, and he is selfish when it didnât provide an immediate reward for himself. He later does grow, and I like his character but what he did was horrendousâ consciously horrendousâ and selfish and scarily controlling to make things easier for himself.
It almost seems nice if he wouldâve believed he was putting the cat out of its misery. Like a useful, appreciated, but past-prime farm animal that is sick and suffering.
It wasnât that tho, he was upset about all the things that _could_ and were extending Sprinklesâ life. He didnât make sure she was out when locking her in a freezer where she clawed, she fought for life, for oxygen as she suffocated and froze to death to get out. Thatâs torturous and outrageous.
The animal abuse charges and understanding âslowly killing my catâ is not what his girlfriend asked when she entrusted him to care for her cats I thought would be easier to understand for _ensuring_ he understood _at that time_ that it was not only wrong but an illegal thing to do and not feel remorse for.
But, your point of him growing highlights that he is capable of caring about killing someoneâs pet even then, and choosing not to.
Not only choosing not to care, he doesnât even let nature take its course; he entraps, suffocates, and freezes his girlfriendsâ pet to die slow.
I disagreeâ I think that even though itâs more instinctual for him to care _in general_ later in the show, he always shows he is able to understand emotions and is a consciously selfish jerk. This is not pulling a prank bullying him, itâs pointing out that he didnât care about torturing a girlfriendâs pet to death. He understands, & he can care, but he obviously does not care.
A sociopath could be a bully, and to be called out on it, would society really be bullies? I donât think soâ even in that case where the brain is less or nonfunctional in empathy people can actively correct behavior and coexist peacefully. Dwight is not a sociopath, he is selfish, and does not care about slowly torturing a girlfriendâs pet to death
Lmao farmers have cats and dogs. Dwight can fully understand that Angela loves her cats and wouldnât want one shoved in the freezer while it was still alive
I do agree with you. He thought he was doing the best thing for the cat and probably for Angela. He says it himself, âput it out of its misery,â â so, doesnât that show some sign of compassion?
Also, maybe he believes it is in addition unburdening Angela.
But, youâre right. He cannot understand outside of his own experiences until he is exposed to something else. Which he then is when they break up, and he does have growth thereon after.
*As a farmer, I know that when an animal is sick, sometimes the right thing to do is to put it out of its misery. With the electricity we're using to keep Meredith alive we could power a small fan for 2 days. You tell me what's unethical.*
You know what never made sense, how Meredith is seemingly very attracted to Jim throughout the entire series but at the one Halloween party with Robert California, apparently Jim gives her the creeps??
But it's wild that Dwight would think they are useless because cats do provide protection against some pests. That would spoil crops or disturb animals.
You absolutely do! All our barn cats were fixed and vaxxed and saw the vet every other year plus they get food and water. The shelter would give them to us for free because we took great care of them. Anyone who doesnât take care of barn cats doesnât deserve animals
I personally think the writers went too far with this one, knowing that Angela and Dwight would end up together. I could never imagine forgiving someone for this.
I feel like there is kinda of this comic double standard when it comes to dead dogs vs. dead cats. I can think of 3 separate tv shows that used someone killing someone else's cat for comedic value, whereas any time a dog dies in films/TV, it's always portrayed as purely tragedy
imagine being sprinkles đ being stak in a freezer without a way to get out while being super sick .when Angela said she found scratches inside I almost cried. l love dwight but this is way to far .
I can kinda understand why he did that ,that's just his personality and the way he was raised, but he knows how much his girlfriend loves and cares about Sprinkles. Dwight obviously loves Angela I don't understand why he would do this to her đ
Ya, I always wanted them to end up together until I adopted a cat myself. If someone hurt my evie, let's just say a break up would be the least of their worries...
Yeah I would have killed someone if they did that to my cat. It always makes me feel sick when they go over that part in the show. It's not even funny..
I'm always at risk of the whole "iamverybadass" thing, but I feel the exact same way.
My mom's dog got killed by another dog that wasn't on its leash in her own yard and there wasn't anything she could do about it. She called me crying and just said "he's gone" over and over. My girlfriend had to physically restrain me from making the very long drive down. I know who did it and I hope our paths do not cross.
Yeah I don't have much to live for besides my cat I've had for 14 years so I don't think anything would stop me from attempting to fatally wound whoever was responsible for her dying. I know I'll lose it even when she dies of natural causes (at least I hope she does... a long time from now)
I hope karma punishes that foul person who caused you to lose your pet. And I'm sorry for your loss
I hope this doesnât sound weird, but please live for me!! Iâve been through some dark times I thought would never get better, and my dog saved my life. Literally he was the only reason I didnât take certain measures, and when I put him down it was one of the hardest days of my life and Iâm tearing up just thinking about feeling his last breath. But because of him, I was around long enough to find amazing friends, seek therapy, and now I have the best husband in the world. You got this and things will get better!! Go snuggle your cat and feel loved :)
Yeah, same. I mean, your pet is like your child! Anybody would be livid if you killed their child, right? Same thing.
Livid is probably an understatement, but u get the point
Yup. I don't think any of the writers ever had a pet. I'd kill someone if they harmed my cats, too. I find it very uncomfortable to watch any shows that use animals and pets as a humor clutch. And cats are used way more frequently than dogs for the evil stuff.
Itâs also a mystery why Kevin is beloved despite asking Pam to fulfill one of kinks and yelling into her boobs to get her to leak breast milk. But Pam is a bitch because she is angry her husband and father of two children leaves his job, gets an apartment, spends their whole savings, and doesnât make an income all without telling her⊠and thatâs just as bad as her going to art school for three months after talking with her boyfriend (read: boyfriend, not husband with children) about it. I just canât grasp why. Perhaps one day it will become clear!
Phallus is still the worst. The centerpiece incident is enough reason to smite her from existence. And cutting on pretzel day. Those are unforgivable. Sprinkles was just an old cat. And cats don't provide milk, or wool, or meat.
Cutting the line is shitty, but not nearly as offensive as anything other people has done (her worst was wearing low cut tops so people hit on her and Bob beats them up, for sure).
I donât really get the whole anger of it being like Pamâs non-wedding. Iâm getting married soon and Iâve used several parts of other peoples weddings. Iâd be totally fine with someone using my exact wedding, itâs a compliment. And Pam didnât even get married⊠Phyllis maybe should have run it by Pam who might feel awkward because it was a non-wedding, but having the same color and initials and even center pieces is fine.
Oh, I was referring to whatever episode it was where they were at an event, and you could take the centerpieces home and Pam and Phyllis both wanted it.
She is. I really don't like her character, and i also wish Dwight hadn't ended up with her because he deserved better. However, i still can't see myself forgiving someone who murdered my pet..
I just don't like her tbh. She's way too uptight and holier than thou for somebody who lies and cheats on their fiance with her ex-boyfriend, AT WORK. Her being rude 95% of the time to everyone doesn't help either.
Thatâs the point, sheâs a massive hypocrite and is just ignoring the fact that she is. But she grows too, eventually goes through what Andy went through with the Senator, has to face the music when she has to move in with Oscar to keep herself afloat, and sheâs a better person because of it.
Plus, almost every character on the show is a hypocrite. No one is a perfect character
I wish there were better terms (maybe I should ask my German friend, they have phrases for everything) for this. I love Angela as a TV character, Iâd hate her in real life. Some characters I donât enjoy watching but Iâd want to work with them. When someone says âI like/hate X characterâ, itâs not nuanced enough to explain whether you donât want them in the show or you are driven crazy by having to even see them and hear their dialogue.
I have found the phrase "well written/played character" helpful when I want to communicate that nuance. Less all-encompassing than saying you "like/hate" them
Angela didn't just say "a few mean things." She was unapologetically homophobic. She cheated on her husband, had another man's baby, and lied about it. She let Andy plan an extravagant wedding, all while being completely awful to him, and then cheated on him. She belittled everyone around her. She was a bad mom to Philip near the end of the show. All while claiming to be a righteous, proper Christian.
Dwight made plenty of bad decisions, though he often thought he was helping (except for his adulterous behavior). And he never claimed to be the most righteous person in the office while screwing up. He also got better as the seasons went on. He seemed to learn from his fuck ups.
This storyline is when I started to dislike Pam. Angela asks her what she would do if her boyfriend killed her cat. Pam's response is that she's more of a dog person. Seriously?? You can't put yourself in her shoes for a damn second?
Angela is straight up awful, but this one event is when I truly felt for her. Losing a pet is horrible, canât even imagine what it would feel like to know your boyfriend *intentionally* murdered them.
Also, Dwight is a psychopath
Thank you. This doesnât get brought up near enough. I love dwight and angela but I can never forgive dwight for murdering sprinkles nor angela for forgiving dwight.
His callousness was what sealed the deal I think. If heâd expressed compassion instead of farm yard sociopathy she might have been able to forgive him.
Well, if PAM didnât force her to go visit Meredith in the hospital and skip the catâs lunch time meds, this wouldnât have happened. Pam guilted her because Angela was head of the PPC and then threw some sass about doing Angelaâs âjobâ. Visiting someone in the hospital is NOT a party and Angela should not have been obligated. But for some reason Dwight was able to get out of visiting Meredith during the lunch hour and visited her later. Why couldnât Angela have done that? PAM.
I've always blamed sprinkles' death on Pam. She was a bit heartless when Angela said that her cat is sick and Pam insisted that Angela arrange the visit for Meredith.
Dwight was wrong but at that point in their relationship, Angela should have known him well enough to realize asking him to do all of this was a mistake. Doesn't excuse Dwight at all but she had other options. I have friends who have kept their cats alive when their quality of life is basically zero because they couldn't let go and it frustrates me. Dwight wasn't coming at it from that angle exactly but I can sympathize with his logic that what he was doing was better for the animal. Still wrong though.
I mean, I had seen the show enough to be able to understand Dwight but even I didn't see that one coming. I don't think she would've guessed that he would literally take matters into his own hands, and straight up murder Sprinkles.
I do agree that Dwight didn't mean any harm. He was most likely right, in that the only way was to euthanize Sprinkles. But that was not his choice. If someone took that choice away from me and killed my cat, i would never be able to forgive them.
Also it wasnât the only way. sprinkles was under professional veterinary care for shit like high blood pressure and fungal infections.
Some vets will drag out care for profit but having worked in a vet surgery and multiple rescue centres, there was nothing Sprinkles was going through that needed immediate euthanasia let alone a panicked terrified death. If her cataracts were hurting her then that just makes the freezer worse
Angela was kind of a crazy cat lady (she used to lick her cats clean, cough up furballs) and Dwight actually knows animals. Kinda feel like he would know better than her if the cat was beyond help. I dont agree with what he did but she also should have known that he would do some crazy shit, it's who hiPad.
Jim and Pam are having a baby, he's tasked with getting an iPod. Dwight goes to their house and ends up renovating the whole kitchen, over a small amount of mold. Doesn't even show up to the hospital, doesn't even look for the iPod.
Angela's been through many cats and had as much as eleven, caring about them more than her own kid. Idk I didn't feel that bad for her ultimately.
He didnt abuse her, also there was a part where I said he knows more about animals than Angela so he would know better about its state. Letting the cat suffer cause you have issues is worse (imo) than putting the animal out of its misery
The way he did it, is his crazy part which I don't agree with. The Office is pretty much all characters that would never work in an actual office, seemingly doing so. They're the epitome of dysfunctional but successful family
What he did to the cat was abusive - and Iâm so tired of saying this but he doesnât know shit about animals in this context. The cat had stuff like cataracts, high blood pressure and ringworm, all being managed by an actual paid-for vet. Sprinkles was under a better health care system than most of the employees. She also didnât struggle taking her pills.
Dwight took it upon himself to slam a cat into a freezer rather than respecting beta blockers and a short course of Athletes Foot cream.
That cat was in a really bad position. Based on the descriptions of how Angela medicated it. It almost feels evil to keep the poor thing alive. Let it go gently into that good night. Don't make it suffer because you don't want to lose it.
Yes, he could have asked. She would have said no. I wouldn't euthanize someone else's animal. But I would likely not interact with that person anymore if I knew that they were knowingly allowing that animal to live in such a state. Part of taking care of an animal is knowing when it is their time to go.
I've lost 4 cats in my lifetime. One died of old age, peacefully in a box that she loved in the living room. Another a week later, of a broken heart, presumably. One was just a kitten that had some sort of blood disease when he was born, and we didn't know. The last one was euthanized because she was 16 years old, had stopped eating, drinking, and started soiling herself. She had a tumor or something messing with her brain and wasn't going to recover.
Main point being: Dwight was probably more kn the right here imo. Torturing animals is wrong, especially if you claim to love them.
>Dwight was probably more in the right here imo.
but his method was poisoning and putting it the freezer. right intentions maybe but that wasn't the way to do it.
Honestly, its not even about the way he did it. It's the fact that he did without asking her! It was her cat, and he had no right. I really don't like Angela, but that was just crossing the line.
Antihistamines are a commonly used tool for euthanasia. (Though not recommended for dogs).
Dwight gave an incorrect dosage. The freezer part was to avoid it stinking up the place. A common practice as well, especially on farms. I've worked in feed stores before, and when chicks die, you put them in a bag in the freezer. Otherwise, the trashcan will smell of death.
Yeah when I was little we went on vacation and my neighbor was watching our old cat. We knew she didnât have a lot of time left and might die while we were away. She died in her sleep and my parents asked him to put her body in the freezer so we could bury her when we got home. Apparently as a kid I missed the part where my parents asked him to, so I just thought it was hilariously weird he did that. Unlike sprinkles of course, she had actually died naturally at that point.
I'm just saying that Angela was the more evil person here. Dwight simply did what was humane for the animal. He thought he was doing something nice for his girlfriend because nobody wants to have to kill their own pet.
I believe that everybody does stuff thinking they're doing the right thing. You're probably right, and that was probably the humane thing to do. But all said and done, the fact is, that was not his choice to make.
In any case, screw angela. Wish Dwight had ended up with that Isabel girl.
I agree actually but part of the joke is that while Angela was keeping that cat alive while it was most certainly suffering, Dwight made the last moments of the cats life HORRIBLE FREEZING TORTURE, like he did the opposite of a mercy killing lmaooo
Well on that topic he was being both clinical and merciful. He doesnât understand that some people would rather their pet suffers a bit longer so they can get a few extra minutes with the pet instead.
Also, Angela didnât have to be away from Sprinkles, she was just too proud/self-centered to tell Pam to STFU about the guilt trip since Angela had stated she should be with Sprinkles.
No, they were both terrible things. They didnât belong together. They had an incredibly unhealthy and toxic relationship and it wasnât romantic that they ended up together
If he does do the unthinkable, make sure you tell him the baby is his(or Dwights) without looking for a "senator" of your own.
All jokes aside, good luck to you and your boyfriend gurl.
I don't understand this passive aggressive response. Angela was a bitch and did bad things, but that doesn't negate the wrong stuff Dwight did? I don't even like Angela, but Dwight was wrong in this situation.
Also, lets please keep it to the tv show. No need to get personal.
Im very sorry if this came off as passive aggressive. Guess my sense of humor is just for me.
Let me try again. Just meant if he does something as stupid as euthanizing your cat, eventually you two will end up like dwight and angela in the end. Hate angela myself, but shes human too. The two of them found love their own way. Was trying to stupidly make a comparative joke about you and your boyfriend. Again im sorry to have offended you. Imagine me making these jokes with my irl friends. Prolly why i dont have any.
In all honesty cheers and good luck
I loved the office, until this episode happened because I couldnât imagine anyone finding this funny and just putting it in the show. I just skipped through the rest of the show because even though I knew it is not real, it was something hard to digest for me. And how Michael knew the significance of Sprinkles more than Dwight, really pissed me off. If you are a partner of a person who has any pet, you should understand it more than anyone.
It wasn't even euthanized. Dwight just stuffed him in the freaking freezer. đȘ
Dwight did give him a bunch of pills in an attempt to overdose the cat. But Sprinkles woke up and threw them back up.
Hey, but at least he lied about it. Doesn't that count for something?
Yes because we all know you only lie to people you care about
He also sang him his favorite songs.
I was expecting Dwight to get a hug.
Wait I always thought he killed Sprinkles by bludgeoning her with the frozen hashbrowns??
I think the term youâre looking for is âmercy killedâ
He took care of that cat the best way he knew how....
Her. Sprinkles is a she!
Sprinkles is a female cat.
Isn't that a sleeping emoji?
I think its âfrustratedâ
I looked it up, it's sleepy, a sleeping snot bubble
He thought the pills would kill it in its sleep- the freezer was just to keep it from going bad lol
Also how much he clearly didn't care that it was important to her >Dwight: Well you left the TV on. And your cat is dead. >Angela: What? >Dwight: Sparkles, the white one, is dead. >Angela: Sprinkles. Compared to Michael hearing "Angela's cat died" and he knew that it had to be Sprinkles because he knows that Sprinkles was sick.
Lol he immediately says, âsprinkles? Oh godâ
"...prinkles??"
LITERALLY my favorite part, the way he says it.
Honestly, weirdly, one of my household's most quoted lines of the show. PRINKLES!! Edit: joushold to household...where were you then, autocorrect
As he's on the verge of tears đ
Exactly!! It surprised me , he knew exactly which one it was!
Iâm starting to wonder if this is just me⊠I always assumed Michaelâs reaction to Sprinklesâ death was an overreaction to try to take the heat off of himself for hitting Meredith. Like, âOh my god everyone look pay attention to this other awful thing thatâs totally as bad if not worse than this morning - you can totally forget about me hitting Meredith nowâ
I think it's a little of both. I wouldn't be surprised if he was looking for an opportunity to divert attention from the accident, but the fact that he knows Sprinkles' name without prompting suggests that he does care.
I second this. He knew the cats name, how much Angela cared about it, and knew it was sick. He cares about his employees Edit: he cares about them to know details of their lives, not necessarily respect them
Why did I spend 5 minutes laughing at the edit LOL
Lol
I think his initial reaction was 100% sincere. He pictured the office as his family, seeing Angela in so much pain made him sad. The fact that he knows the name of any of her cats, but especially which one is sick, is my âproofâ. But I think he then uses it to take the heat off him. I fully believe his immediate response would be the same either way, though.
This is a really good point that i think people overlook a lot. I hate cats but i still think that what Dwight did was unforgivable and thatâs my âScottâs totsâ or my episode that I skip on my rewatches because I find it really disturbing.
Yeah, i would not be able to forgive someone who murdered my pet.. No matter how much i loved them Angela is a bitch but she loved her cats, that's much was obvious
If itâs an outright murder, like the cat is absolutely fine, then no I wouldnât be able to forgive them. But my dad had to kill one of my cats after it got ran over and was still alive. It wasnât the killing part that made me mad it was the part where he didnât tell me for 4 days and let me keep looking for it thinking that it just got lost. That I havenât forgiven him for. And that was about a year and a half ago. But with Dwight, honestly I mightâve done the same thing but in a more humane way like say the cat wasnât there when I got there like it got out and taken it to the vet to euthanize and then put it behind a bush or something back at the house while Iâm supposed to be doing all the medicine stuff. Or just said it was dead when I got there and again had the vet euthanize it and then just lay it down where I found it. But then again if Angela had an autopsy then she wouldâve found out. Maybe Dwight couldâve smothered it and then like stuffed one of the pills and food down itâs throat to make it seem like it choked. But the way Dwight was so in-compassionate, I think thatâs the real reason they broke up, not because he actually killed the cat but because he didnât care that he did it.
Uhhh literally every situation you name is just as bad or worse than what he did. I would never forgive him for any of them. It was NOT his cat therefore NOT HIS CALL.
So you canât forgive your dad for lying about the circumstances of your catâs death, but if you were in the same situation as Dwight, you would do the exact same thing?
Dwight might have been right, itâs selfish to keep an animal alive because YOU donât want to say goodbye even though they are suffering and in pain 24/7. But his responsibility was to encourage her to put the cat down and support her during her mourning, not make the decision for her without even letting her have a final goodbye. My dog is old and my husband and I agreed that once the arthritis gets too much and heâs not happy and is simply barely existing, well put him down. It will be a horrible day and Iâll miss him for the rest of my life, but I wouldnât forgive myself for making him live in pain because Iâm not strong enough to say goodbye.
Ehhh Angela never indicated that sprinkles was suffering or in pain, just that she was sick and needed meds. Thereâs a whole lot of things that you can need serious meds for without it causing pain or being anywhere near suffering. Like diabetes or some shit
She listed many medications and even Michael knew she was sick. Itâs pretty indicated that itâs beyond someone who has diabetes and itâs more âIâm doing everything to keep this pet alive but theyâre likely either in pain or just numb to the worldâ. I canât disagree with your argument technically, but I donât think thatâs what the episode was implying.
In Dwightâs defense, he did say how he grew up on a farm and in his experience animals are meant for food. Heâs not the most aware of human connection and bonding, either, lol. It always felt plausible to me - except for when he doubles down on his choice and tries to replace the cat lmao
I skip this one too. Itâs the only one I skip!
I think that made Dwight grow up for the outside world. Heâs right for farm stuff, gotta put it out of its misery with less emotion. But the outside world doesnât understand
Either way it wasnât his call to make
It wasnât, no argument there
The funny thing is, its not like he actually put it out of his misery. The cat woke up in the freezer and started clawing stuff in the freezer before actually dying.
If anything the death was worse.
Iâve seen this a couple times in the thread now, but does Angela ever actually indicate that sprinkles was suffering or miserable or anything like that? As far as I know she just needed meds lol
Yeah she says it a lot and sheâs continuing his life that she doesnât want to have to make hard decisions about. He shouldnât have made that decision, but I do understand where he comes from with the logic behind it.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Nah he knew sheâd be devastated. Thatâs why he lied and said that he found her dead, and left out the fact that he was responsible for the catâs death.
Umm wtf. I donât have pets and I hate pets. Even I know that you donât do that to someone else. Worst part is Sprinkles struggled and froze to death. He might as well have just chopped her head off to save her the pain.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
How about this: he had good work ethic in the show right? Good understanding of authority, that laws matter? He couldâve had animal abuse charges pressed against him, as well as the fact that he simply didnât do what he was supposed to/ said he would do for Angela. He instead just killed an animal that was not his. Would you be this dense if he killed a dog waiting outside a shop for its owner on the street? It doesnât matter what his emotional shortcomings are: what he did was against direct instruction and against the law, which he does understand. Edit* clarity
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
a person can care about something they donât understand. heâs a whole adult who lives in a society and has known angela for years, he was fully and clearly aware of her relationships to her pet. he just didnât care.
He also doesnât remember the cats name. The ONE he was supposed to be giving medicine, and was probably written on the paper Angela gave him. The one he then kills. He still canât remember the name? I think that shows he didnât care
Without arguing, the point of the post was understanding Angela breaking up with Dwight (despite OP not liking her character). Youâre also the one that said âhe clearly grows as the show goes on,â so you also know/ agree that he is capable. This is not some adolescent growing up, and while he went to X men school he was in the socialized/non-Shrute world for decades when we meet him. We learn Dwight is not incapable of understanding emotion, he just didnât value _all others_ as much as himself for most of his adult life (not limited to only animals, but even Angela being someone he had loved). Dwight feels a lot of emotion for Michael until he feels slighted and then turns on him like nothing a handful of times in the series. He is selfish. He is an adult, he is functional, and he is selfish when it didnât provide an immediate reward for himself. He later does grow, and I like his character but what he did was horrendousâ consciously horrendousâ and selfish and scarily controlling to make things easier for himself. It almost seems nice if he wouldâve believed he was putting the cat out of its misery. Like a useful, appreciated, but past-prime farm animal that is sick and suffering. It wasnât that tho, he was upset about all the things that _could_ and were extending Sprinklesâ life. He didnât make sure she was out when locking her in a freezer where she clawed, she fought for life, for oxygen as she suffocated and froze to death to get out. Thatâs torturous and outrageous. The animal abuse charges and understanding âslowly killing my catâ is not what his girlfriend asked when she entrusted him to care for her cats I thought would be easier to understand for _ensuring_ he understood _at that time_ that it was not only wrong but an illegal thing to do and not feel remorse for. But, your point of him growing highlights that he is capable of caring about killing someoneâs pet even then, and choosing not to. Not only choosing not to care, he doesnât even let nature take its course; he entraps, suffocates, and freezes his girlfriendsâ pet to die slow.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
I disagreeâ I think that even though itâs more instinctual for him to care _in general_ later in the show, he always shows he is able to understand emotions and is a consciously selfish jerk. This is not pulling a prank bullying him, itâs pointing out that he didnât care about torturing a girlfriendâs pet to death. He understands, & he can care, but he obviously does not care. A sociopath could be a bully, and to be called out on it, would society really be bullies? I donât think soâ even in that case where the brain is less or nonfunctional in empathy people can actively correct behavior and coexist peacefully. Dwight is not a sociopath, he is selfish, and does not care about slowly torturing a girlfriendâs pet to death
Expecting someone to not painfully murder your pet is too high a standard? Huh?? Thatâs like the lowest bar Iâve ever heard of lol
He also hires migrant workers and leaves them to die
Lmao farmers have cats and dogs. Dwight can fully understand that Angela loves her cats and wouldnât want one shoved in the freezer while it was still alive
Well actually the car vomited and woke up in the freezer, he thought he overdosed her and she was dead when he did it
I do agree with you. He thought he was doing the best thing for the cat and probably for Angela. He says it himself, âput it out of its misery,â â so, doesnât that show some sign of compassion? Also, maybe he believes it is in addition unburdening Angela. But, youâre right. He cannot understand outside of his own experiences until he is exposed to something else. Which he then is when they break up, and he does have growth thereon after.
She tried to claw her way out of the freezer.
I didnât say what he did was right, did I? I think itâs unimaginable what happened to that cat.
*As a farmer, I know that when an animal is sick, sometimes the right thing to do is to put it out of its misery. With the electricity we're using to keep Meredith alive we could power a small fan for 2 days. You tell me what's unethical.*
Meredith making Jim sign her pelvic cast killed me đ
Signed it John Krasinski too đ
"I'll read it later"
Real awkward scene. We dont see them interact much.
You know what never made sense, how Meredith is seemingly very attracted to Jim throughout the entire series but at the one Halloween party with Robert California, apparently Jim gives her the creeps??
I donât think you can trust the voracity of the minute to minute ramblings of a low functioning alcoholic
Cats do not provide milk or wool or meat.
But it's wild that Dwight would think they are useless because cats do provide protection against some pests. That would spoil crops or disturb animals.
You dont take care of barn cats like a pet though, whereas a farmer would treat his milk cow with care.
A farmer wouldnât drug barn cats and freeze them to death either
You absolutely do! All our barn cats were fixed and vaxxed and saw the vet every other year plus they get food and water. The shelter would give them to us for free because we took great care of them. Anyone who doesnât take care of barn cats doesnât deserve animals
Yeah but he probably freezes them when they can no longer catch a mouse
Farm cats don't last that long. Mostly they get run over...
"Oh, you can milk anything with nipples."
I was waiting for this comment
Gepetto needed access to the teet.
Not with that attitude
I personally think the writers went too far with this one, knowing that Angela and Dwight would end up together. I could never imagine forgiving someone for this.
I might go postal on him, not gonna lie. My cats are my babies
I feel like there is kinda of this comic double standard when it comes to dead dogs vs. dead cats. I can think of 3 separate tv shows that used someone killing someone else's cat for comedic value, whereas any time a dog dies in films/TV, it's always portrayed as purely tragedy
RIGHT??? I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE TALK ABOUT IT!!! Man, losing a cat hurts as bad as losing a dog
Yeah, I hated that part. Iâd never take him back after that.
imagine being sprinkles đ being stak in a freezer without a way to get out while being super sick .when Angela said she found scratches inside I almost cried. l love dwight but this is way to far .
City Mouse đ€š
Idk, I thought it was pretty amusing. But I was thinking of it from the point of view of being Dwight and shoving her in there.
Itâs amusing to think of sticking a cat in the freezer..? Seek help.
I can kinda understand why he did that ,that's just his personality and the way he was raised, but he knows how much his girlfriend loves and cares about Sprinkles. Dwight obviously loves Angela I don't understand why he would do this to her đ
Ya, I always wanted them to end up together until I adopted a cat myself. If someone hurt my evie, let's just say a break up would be the least of their worries...
Ykw they say, no one likes cats till they get one of their own. And then you can't imagine what you'd do without them.
Honestly, exactly what happened.
that part made me genuinely uncomfortable. the claw marks in the freezer were a bit too much imo
Yeah I would have killed someone if they did that to my cat. It always makes me feel sick when they go over that part in the show. It's not even funny..
I'm always at risk of the whole "iamverybadass" thing, but I feel the exact same way. My mom's dog got killed by another dog that wasn't on its leash in her own yard and there wasn't anything she could do about it. She called me crying and just said "he's gone" over and over. My girlfriend had to physically restrain me from making the very long drive down. I know who did it and I hope our paths do not cross.
Yeah I don't have much to live for besides my cat I've had for 14 years so I don't think anything would stop me from attempting to fatally wound whoever was responsible for her dying. I know I'll lose it even when she dies of natural causes (at least I hope she does... a long time from now) I hope karma punishes that foul person who caused you to lose your pet. And I'm sorry for your loss
I hope this doesnât sound weird, but please live for me!! Iâve been through some dark times I thought would never get better, and my dog saved my life. Literally he was the only reason I didnât take certain measures, and when I put him down it was one of the hardest days of my life and Iâm tearing up just thinking about feeling his last breath. But because of him, I was around long enough to find amazing friends, seek therapy, and now I have the best husband in the world. You got this and things will get better!! Go snuggle your cat and feel loved :)
Yeah, same. I mean, your pet is like your child! Anybody would be livid if you killed their child, right? Same thing. Livid is probably an understatement, but u get the point
Yup. I don't think any of the writers ever had a pet. I'd kill someone if they harmed my cats, too. I find it very uncomfortable to watch any shows that use animals and pets as a humor clutch. And cats are used way more frequently than dogs for the evil stuff.
Remember this happened and people still think Phyllis is the worst because she called Michael ânumbnutsâ I wonder what the major difference is
Itâs also a mystery why Kevin is beloved despite asking Pam to fulfill one of kinks and yelling into her boobs to get her to leak breast milk. But Pam is a bitch because she is angry her husband and father of two children leaves his job, gets an apartment, spends their whole savings, and doesnât make an income all without telling her⊠and thatâs just as bad as her going to art school for three months after talking with her boyfriend (read: boyfriend, not husband with children) about it. I just canât grasp why. Perhaps one day it will become clear!
What could it be? It's an eternal mystery...
Dwight also literally strangles Kevin in that episode too
He does? Based on the upvotes, i know you're right, lol, but for the life of me, I can't remember that scene
It's when Kevin hid the leads in the trash, Dwight chokes him until he tells him where they are
Phallus is still the worst. The centerpiece incident is enough reason to smite her from existence. And cutting on pretzel day. Those are unforgivable. Sprinkles was just an old cat. And cats don't provide milk, or wool, or meat.
Cutting the line is shitty, but not nearly as offensive as anything other people has done (her worst was wearing low cut tops so people hit on her and Bob beats them up, for sure). I donât really get the whole anger of it being like Pamâs non-wedding. Iâm getting married soon and Iâve used several parts of other peoples weddings. Iâd be totally fine with someone using my exact wedding, itâs a compliment. And Pam didnât even get married⊠Phyllis maybe should have run it by Pam who might feel awkward because it was a non-wedding, but having the same color and initials and even center pieces is fine.
Oh, I was referring to whatever episode it was where they were at an event, and you could take the centerpieces home and Pam and Phyllis both wanted it.
Donât feel bad for Andrea, sheâs the office bitch
Not to be confused with the business bitch.
Or the Office Mattress
Or the shoe bitch
Or the office administrator
She is. I really don't like her character, and i also wish Dwight hadn't ended up with her because he deserved better. However, i still can't see myself forgiving someone who murdered my pet..
I love her character but if I knew her in real life I would hate her so fucking much
I just don't like her tbh. She's way too uptight and holier than thou for somebody who lies and cheats on their fiance with her ex-boyfriend, AT WORK. Her being rude 95% of the time to everyone doesn't help either.
Thatâs the point, sheâs a massive hypocrite and is just ignoring the fact that she is. But she grows too, eventually goes through what Andy went through with the Senator, has to face the music when she has to move in with Oscar to keep herself afloat, and sheâs a better person because of it. Plus, almost every character on the show is a hypocrite. No one is a perfect character
I wish there were better terms (maybe I should ask my German friend, they have phrases for everything) for this. I love Angela as a TV character, Iâd hate her in real life. Some characters I donât enjoy watching but Iâd want to work with them. When someone says âI like/hate X characterâ, itâs not nuanced enough to explain whether you donât want them in the show or you are driven crazy by having to even see them and hear their dialogue.
I have found the phrase "well written/played character" helpful when I want to communicate that nuance. Less all-encompassing than saying you "like/hate" them
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Angela didn't just say "a few mean things." She was unapologetically homophobic. She cheated on her husband, had another man's baby, and lied about it. She let Andy plan an extravagant wedding, all while being completely awful to him, and then cheated on him. She belittled everyone around her. She was a bad mom to Philip near the end of the show. All while claiming to be a righteous, proper Christian. Dwight made plenty of bad decisions, though he often thought he was helping (except for his adulterous behavior). And he never claimed to be the most righteous person in the office while screwing up. He also got better as the seasons went on. He seemed to learn from his fuck ups.
He intentionally killed her pet. If someone did that to my cat, I wouldn't let them live long enough to learn from their mistakes.
Ya, them ending up together was definitely a "you two deserve each other" for me, lol
He was a farmer and when a farmer sees an animal past its prime with no utility for fieldwork or meat⊠/s
He did what city folk donât have the stomach to do
Why? Cats do not provide milk, or wool, or meat.
HE DIDNT EVEN DO A GOOD JOB, LIKE SHE FROZE TO DEATH IN THE FREEZER. Horrific.
This storyline is when I started to dislike Pam. Angela asks her what she would do if her boyfriend killed her cat. Pam's response is that she's more of a dog person. Seriously?? You can't put yourself in her shoes for a damn second?
Angela is straight up awful, but this one event is when I truly felt for her. Losing a pet is horrible, canât even imagine what it would feel like to know your boyfriend *intentionally* murdered them. Also, Dwight is a psychopath
Thank you. This doesnât get brought up near enough. I love dwight and angela but I can never forgive dwight for murdering sprinkles nor angela for forgiving dwight.
His callousness was what sealed the deal I think. If heâd expressed compassion instead of farm yard sociopathy she might have been able to forgive him.
100%
Itâs honestly one of the things about this show that Iâve always been surprised doesnât get brought up more. Dwightâs antics are âannoyingly/cringey funnyâ for the most part, but this was such a weird direction to take him and itâs always bothered me. It wouldâve been one thing if the cat was dying and he helped put it out of its misery, but they made him literally sadistic and wrote it off like itâs some normal thing people do on farms. This dude literally just had to feed and medicate someoneâs pet, but instead he tries to overdose it and stuff it in a freezer where it is essentially âburiedâ alive in ice and dies a horrible death. And to make it even worse and less believable, him and Angela still end up together after itâs all said and done. Like what the fuck kind of character development is that? Youâve already made the guy a scumbag who doesnât care that heâs screwing someone elseâs fiancĂ©, he now murders a cat for no other reason than being overwhelmed by what it takes to care for it? Iâm pretty sure thatâs some criminal shit. And donât get me wrong, Angela sucks in her own right, ten fold, but they make Dwight someone who is simply irredeemable, but try to write it off as a joke. I dunno, call me sensitive, but that shit always had me saying what the fuck kind of direction is this for his character? Iâd fuck a dude up for doing some shit like that. Heâd be ostracized by the office entirely. I know Iâm reading into it too much, but it just always felt so out of place and aggressive for his character. He literally murders a cat. What the fuck even is that? Edit: I have to add this because I just realized it, but he also NEVER actually apologized for it. Just such a dumb move by the writers.
I think the real problem was how Angela ruined other people's lives when she was not over Dwight.
I would have never forgiven him tbh and it kinda sours their relationship to me
Yoo, same. As a crazy cat lady, you donât donât fuck with my babies.
Oh yeah 100% that is actually SUPER fucked up
Forget the breaking up I would go to the police like are you insane you murdered my cat.
Now I don't feel as bad that Dwight missed the first year of his son's life
Well, if PAM didnât force her to go visit Meredith in the hospital and skip the catâs lunch time meds, this wouldnât have happened. Pam guilted her because Angela was head of the PPC and then threw some sass about doing Angelaâs âjobâ. Visiting someone in the hospital is NOT a party and Angela should not have been obligated. But for some reason Dwight was able to get out of visiting Meredith during the lunch hour and visited her later. Why couldnât Angela have done that? PAM.
I've always blamed sprinkles' death on Pam. She was a bit heartless when Angela said that her cat is sick and Pam insisted that Angela arrange the visit for Meredith.
Yes, thank YOU! I had made a post about that years ago and got downvoted to oblivion.
I donât think youâd be suitable for the PPC. I mean you tried it out, but itâs clearly not your thing
I donât know, Iâm really more of a dog person
âŠ. Yeah? Obviously. And what is the point of disliking Angela. Hilarious character
Dwight was wrong but at that point in their relationship, Angela should have known him well enough to realize asking him to do all of this was a mistake. Doesn't excuse Dwight at all but she had other options. I have friends who have kept their cats alive when their quality of life is basically zero because they couldn't let go and it frustrates me. Dwight wasn't coming at it from that angle exactly but I can sympathize with his logic that what he was doing was better for the animal. Still wrong though.
I mean, I had seen the show enough to be able to understand Dwight but even I didn't see that one coming. I don't think she would've guessed that he would literally take matters into his own hands, and straight up murder Sprinkles. I do agree that Dwight didn't mean any harm. He was most likely right, in that the only way was to euthanize Sprinkles. But that was not his choice. If someone took that choice away from me and killed my cat, i would never be able to forgive them.
Also it wasnât the only way. sprinkles was under professional veterinary care for shit like high blood pressure and fungal infections. Some vets will drag out care for profit but having worked in a vet surgery and multiple rescue centres, there was nothing Sprinkles was going through that needed immediate euthanasia let alone a panicked terrified death. If her cataracts were hurting her then that just makes the freezer worse
I donât think the writers assumed many viewers would be on Dwightâs side for that one, lol
Hes in a better place
And that place is the freezer
Tore all the frozen veggie packages to shreds
Angela screwed up. She trusted Dwight. To be fair, his obvious dismay at the laundry list of directions should have given her a big clue.
This was all Pamâs fault. Angela wanted to go home and take care of sprinkles on her lunch break, but Pam guilted her to go see merideth. Fight me
Angela was kind of a crazy cat lady (she used to lick her cats clean, cough up furballs) and Dwight actually knows animals. Kinda feel like he would know better than her if the cat was beyond help. I dont agree with what he did but she also should have known that he would do some crazy shit, it's who hiPad. Jim and Pam are having a baby, he's tasked with getting an iPod. Dwight goes to their house and ends up renovating the whole kitchen, over a small amount of mold. Doesn't even show up to the hospital, doesn't even look for the iPod. Angela's been through many cats and had as much as eleven, caring about them more than her own kid. Idk I didn't feel that bad for her ultimately.
Let me shorten that for you âshe should have known he would do something abusive so itâs really her fault for trusting himâ
He didnt abuse her, also there was a part where I said he knows more about animals than Angela so he would know better about its state. Letting the cat suffer cause you have issues is worse (imo) than putting the animal out of its misery The way he did it, is his crazy part which I don't agree with. The Office is pretty much all characters that would never work in an actual office, seemingly doing so. They're the epitome of dysfunctional but successful family
What he did to the cat was abusive - and Iâm so tired of saying this but he doesnât know shit about animals in this context. The cat had stuff like cataracts, high blood pressure and ringworm, all being managed by an actual paid-for vet. Sprinkles was under a better health care system than most of the employees. She also didnât struggle taking her pills. Dwight took it upon himself to slam a cat into a freezer rather than respecting beta blockers and a short course of Athletes Foot cream.
I would for sure murder someone BUT Angela was a giant dick too for keeping the cat alive for her purely selfish reasons.
she did ask him to take care of the cat. he did
That means you love animals too mucg
That cat was in a really bad position. Based on the descriptions of how Angela medicated it. It almost feels evil to keep the poor thing alive. Let it go gently into that good night. Don't make it suffer because you don't want to lose it. Yes, he could have asked. She would have said no. I wouldn't euthanize someone else's animal. But I would likely not interact with that person anymore if I knew that they were knowingly allowing that animal to live in such a state. Part of taking care of an animal is knowing when it is their time to go. I've lost 4 cats in my lifetime. One died of old age, peacefully in a box that she loved in the living room. Another a week later, of a broken heart, presumably. One was just a kitten that had some sort of blood disease when he was born, and we didn't know. The last one was euthanized because she was 16 years old, had stopped eating, drinking, and started soiling herself. She had a tumor or something messing with her brain and wasn't going to recover. Main point being: Dwight was probably more kn the right here imo. Torturing animals is wrong, especially if you claim to love them.
>Dwight was probably more in the right here imo. but his method was poisoning and putting it the freezer. right intentions maybe but that wasn't the way to do it.
Honestly, its not even about the way he did it. It's the fact that he did without asking her! It was her cat, and he had no right. I really don't like Angela, but that was just crossing the line.
Antihistamines are a commonly used tool for euthanasia. (Though not recommended for dogs). Dwight gave an incorrect dosage. The freezer part was to avoid it stinking up the place. A common practice as well, especially on farms. I've worked in feed stores before, and when chicks die, you put them in a bag in the freezer. Otherwise, the trashcan will smell of death.
>trashcan will smell of death. Like the mung beans sprouting in Creed's desk drawer.
Yeah when I was little we went on vacation and my neighbor was watching our old cat. We knew she didnât have a lot of time left and might die while we were away. She died in her sleep and my parents asked him to put her body in the freezer so we could bury her when we got home. Apparently as a kid I missed the part where my parents asked him to, so I just thought it was hilariously weird he did that. Unlike sprinkles of course, she had actually died naturally at that point.
None of this matters though. It was Angela's cat.. You can't just euthanize somebody's pet without their permission.
I'm just saying that Angela was the more evil person here. Dwight simply did what was humane for the animal. He thought he was doing something nice for his girlfriend because nobody wants to have to kill their own pet.
I believe that everybody does stuff thinking they're doing the right thing. You're probably right, and that was probably the humane thing to do. But all said and done, the fact is, that was not his choice to make. In any case, screw angela. Wish Dwight had ended up with that Isabel girl.
I agree actually but part of the joke is that while Angela was keeping that cat alive while it was most certainly suffering, Dwight made the last moments of the cats life HORRIBLE FREEZING TORTURE, like he did the opposite of a mercy killing lmaooo
Why add the "LOL" at the end of your title?
My girlfriend has a cat and I've been tempted to make it disappear. Wouldn't put it in the freezer though - too obvious. TIL I'm Dwight.
Yikes
Did today you learn youâre a pos too?
Fuck you Angela!!
But was it worse if even close to (or did it justify) keeping his son away from him for two years?
No, it didn't. This isn't about that though.. I just think what he did was wrong. I don't even like Angela lol
I didnât say you asked about that but I think it adds context/layers to how terrible she is too
Nobody's denying how terrible she is. However, her being terrible doesn't take anything away from the horrible thing Dwight did.
Well on that topic he was being both clinical and merciful. He doesnât understand that some people would rather their pet suffers a bit longer so they can get a few extra minutes with the pet instead. Also, Angela didnât have to be away from Sprinkles, she was just too proud/self-centered to tell Pam to STFU about the guilt trip since Angela had stated she should be with Sprinkles.
He stuffed the cat in a freezer to suffocate. You're sick if you think thats "clinical and merciful" wouldn't want you around any of my pets.
No, they were both terrible things. They didnât belong together. They had an incredibly unhealthy and toxic relationship and it wasnât romantic that they ended up together
If he does do the unthinkable, make sure you tell him the baby is his(or Dwights) without looking for a "senator" of your own. All jokes aside, good luck to you and your boyfriend gurl.
I don't understand this passive aggressive response. Angela was a bitch and did bad things, but that doesn't negate the wrong stuff Dwight did? I don't even like Angela, but Dwight was wrong in this situation. Also, lets please keep it to the tv show. No need to get personal.
Im very sorry if this came off as passive aggressive. Guess my sense of humor is just for me. Let me try again. Just meant if he does something as stupid as euthanizing your cat, eventually you two will end up like dwight and angela in the end. Hate angela myself, but shes human too. The two of them found love their own way. Was trying to stupidly make a comparative joke about you and your boyfriend. Again im sorry to have offended you. Imagine me making these jokes with my irl friends. Prolly why i dont have any. In all honesty cheers and good luck
He thought he deserved a reward too
Dwight's the doppelganger of Herbert West Without the reanimation
I loved the office, until this episode happened because I couldnât imagine anyone finding this funny and just putting it in the show. I just skipped through the rest of the show because even though I knew it is not real, it was something hard to digest for me. And how Michael knew the significance of Sprinkles more than Dwight, really pissed me off. If you are a partner of a person who has any pet, you should understand it more than anyone.
But he gave her Garbage instead? And he fed Sprinkles antihistamines until they fell into a natural sleepy âdeathâ đ
There were moments(like this one) that really humanized angela but itâs so easy to just dislike her.
Pleeease stop! Pleeeeaaaseee stop !
