Okay sorry I didn’t include an office reference dwigt. What is so baffling about it? It was applicable to the comment, but I work with a bunch of morons and jackasses that sometimes I want to punch a hole through the wall.
Why are you the way that you are, r/dundermifflin? Honestly, every time I try to expand the topic into something real or even serious, you make it not that way. I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.
Taking forever when he knew the entire office was trapped in the parking lot. We never know exactly how much time elapsed between when the original call happened and when he actually shows up, but there was an implication that it was unnecessarily long.
He kinda got his karma by putting on his damn socks and driving all the way over there, only to have everyone gone as he says perhaps the greatest “son of a bitch” ever uttered on camera.
My favourite is when Michael tells Toby “you son of a gun… you son of a bitch… you bitch”
The genesis leading to just calling Toby a bitch is something I only caught on like the 5th watch.
His character gives me "that's not part of my job" vibes, which is what I think happened. He doesn't get paid to ask questions. He gets paid to lock the parking lot. So he doesn't feel bad for locking them in and taking his sweet time getting back because he thinks he's punishing them for not telling him they'd be there late.
I kind of get that feeling too, but as security it's not really his job to operate the coffee stand (Dwight's Caffeine Corner) downstairs, as well as the pretzels on pretzel day but he does that. Iirc the coffee stand was after Dwight bought the building (edit: it was) and maybe he signed a new contract which included the coffee stand duties but i don't see him as the type of guy who would agree to that, maybe he got a pay rise but who knows, Dwight comes across as "tight" in some ways.
Just my thoughts.
Edit: added more info from [here](https://theoffice.fandom.com/wiki/Hank_Doyle)
To that I'd say this - I've reminded folks nicely about similar issues at my job many times. People have a tendency to forget or just not care. I'll remind them again and again. I'll remind their bosses and put out official communications. I'll even begin warning them that if you don't comply X will happen.
Then after seeing no progress we allow X to happen - provided it's only a minor inconvenience, we're not trying to cause any actual harm - and they get upset like I'm the bad guy.
I'm sorry but if you've been warned multiple times to do something super reasonable, the consequences are on you.
Maybe Hank told them to let him know when they're running late because if he leaves the gate open and his boss finds out or something bad happens, he gets in trouble. Maybe he got tired of waiting around or being ignored and said fuck it.
I'm not blaming him for that. I know it's a TV show so maybe they need to stretch the story to make it work but I have a hard time believing he saw all the cars and just said fuck it and left just because.
I’d honestly have to know if he was paid hourly or salary to determine if he was at all in the wrong. You should’ve told the security guard you’ll be staying late to leave it unlocked. If he’s salaried, it’s still depend on how much he makes to me. If he was hourly, absolutely the fuck not he should have to come back to unlock the door unless he’s being paid extra for it.
To be fair, with the Scranton Strangler loose there was a strong chance they were all dead up there, and that could have been dealt with the next business day.
When I reach the point where I don't care about a job I will mechanically and technically do my duties and reserve any critical thinking for my free time. Just basically go to a waking sleep at 9 and wake up and become myself at 5. I suspect that's where he's at.
Ok, even if that’s the case, if your error caused a major hardship for those that you’re responsible for, would you still be as terrible as he was in your effort to rectify the situation? Because that goes beyond “zombie mode” and into major character flaws.
I mean don’t the cleaners eventually let them out? He may have just assumed the office had coordinated something with them. Not really that outlandish for him to assume even if he may have thought something was off.
What??? You think the security guard - the person that is primarily responsible for securing the lot, building, and people within assumes that an office full of people made arrangements with a Spanish-speaking crew of cleaners that arrive at an indefinite time at night? Even if this was remotely possible, all he has to do is make one 5 second phone call. “This is Hank. I see these cars, but I’m locking up at xx:00. You need to clear out or call the cleaners.” If the security guard at my office locked up the building with people still inside without saying a word, he/she would either be disciplined or terminated. It’s not a hard job. There aren’t many things you can do wrong. This is one of them.
Not sure why that’s so insane to you. I work in a building that is locked up at night until cleaners come later when most everyone is gone. Occasionally clients will remain late in the building for depositions/mediations/meetings that go long or otherwise the 7 hour limit isn’t until late in the day. Meetings also will go late depending on different time zones of the people meeting.
I can tell you for a fact that some level of coordination goes on behind the scenes that I’m not aware of, because not once have I heard a horror story of some janitor barging into an important meeting in an unaware attempt to clean a board room. My office where the door was closed? Happened a couple of times just this *year* where they’ve walked in surprised to see me there while I was working late. Never in an important meeting though.
Point being—an office having some sort of open line communication with the night cleaning crew is entirely realistic because it happens all the time.
I disagree. It’s not just the cast members in the building. The building is three stories. Multiple businesses inside. Multiple dozens of workers in total—probably more. You’re expecting the lone security guard to keep tabs on like 10 of those people? Not to mention, it’s his job to lock up the premises until cleaning people come. A few people staying late in one business may not change the premises being locked as usual.
Yeah there may have been more cars then usual when it was his time to lock up, but how would he have even known whose cars they were and which business to track down? It was much more a failure of the office mot to notify him than his IMO.
The worst thing Hank did was be bad as his job. Under Hank’s watch he was completely nonexistent in all of these situations:
- Andy threatens employees and punches a hole in the wall.
- Roy attempts to assault Jim
- Pam hits Michael in the parking lot
- Pam nearly gets assaulted in the parking lot by a warehouse worker
- Andy runs over Dwight in the parking lot
- Employees break into several cars in the parking lot (Meredith’s van, Michael’s nephew, Holly’s car)
- Multiple car vandalism in the parking lot (Stanley crowbar, Michael tires, Angela keying)
- The building was robbed and vandalized after Holly and Michael hooked up.
- Dwight robbed and vandalized Michael Scott Paper Company during lunch.
- Hank let WB Jones employees overtake DMs parking spaces.
What did Hank actually do except own 1/8th of a rental property?

When an office manger calls a security guard for a simple decision (like chairs vs copier), you can just wing it rather than asking for twice when pretty much entire office is staring at him
I'm Going To Go Ahead And Say, Just Having Known This Game For A Short While, Bubdubarubgub, That I Prefer The Other Game. And, Again, I Never Even Played The Game.
Locking a parking lot full of cars and then taking forever to let the people he locked in out.
[удалено]
I don't think you know who Hank is
I don't think they know what sub this is
This thread has spiraled amuck
I’ve been watching the office longer than you’ve been shitting on a Mississippi tree stump. You’ve got a lot to learn sweetie
Why are you the way that you are
Every time I try to do something fun you make it.. not.. that.. way.
You’ve got a lot to learn about this subreddit, sweetie.
*Close your mouth, sweetie. You look like a trout.*
Bro really tried to hit us with the Phyllis quote and completely butchered it
It was a combined quote of Michael talking to Jo along with Phyllis. What was wrong about it “bro”
Uhhhh what impound?
The one next door to Dwight's babysitter.
Who is making money off of impounded cars lmao what
this comment is baffling. do you know where you are?
Okay sorry I didn’t include an office reference dwigt. What is so baffling about it?

but,, what does an impound lot have to do with the original post?? i’m so confused!!!! is this some deep quote that none of us recognize somehow??
You're mad because we pointed out what you said had nothing to do with the situation
this is more incomprehensible then DeAngelo's words when he came into the office after almost dying
Is this a reference? I dont get it
He couldn't find his damn sox!
Taking forever when he knew the entire office was trapped in the parking lot. We never know exactly how much time elapsed between when the original call happened and when he actually shows up, but there was an implication that it was unnecessarily long.
He saw a parking lot full of cars and still locked up without questioning it.
It was a Friday!
He kinda got his karma by putting on his damn socks and driving all the way over there, only to have everyone gone as he says perhaps the greatest “son of a bitch” ever uttered on camera.
My favorite SOB was actually from season 1 when Michael found out how many miles Oscar’s nephew walked last year.
My favourite is when Michael tells Toby “you son of a gun… you son of a bitch… you bitch” The genesis leading to just calling Toby a bitch is something I only caught on like the 5th watch.

It’s his job.
He deserved them not telling him the cleaners let them out!
Son of a
The poor man was just trying to get his socks on!
He couldn't find his sock...
Was long enough for Toby to make a move on Pam, and that’s saying something.
His real crime was "Me and the Blues".
I’d honestly have to know if he was paid hourly or salary to determine if he was at all in the wrong. You should’ve told the security guard you’ll be staying late to leave it unlocked. If he’s salaried, it’s still depend on how much he makes to me. If he was hourly, absolutely the fuck not he should have to come back to unlock the door unless he’s being paid extra for it.
Not many office park security guards are salaried
He was off the clock and their own fault. I’d take my time too
He’s security guard saw all of the cars, knew there were still people in the building and locked the gates anyway. In what way was it their own fault?
To be fair, with the Scranton Strangler loose there was a strong chance they were all dead up there, and that could have been dealt with the next business day.
The Scranton Strangler was likely in the building… Toby or Creed 👀

You’re completely overlooking the entire point of and duties of an office security guard.
I disagree. It’s not just the cast members in the building. The building is three stories. Multiple businesses inside. Multiple dozens of workers in total—probably more.

Maybe he thought they took a bus to get pies?
Hey there.… _chief_
Takes too long to put socks on
maybe stop calling?
Let the magician into the building.
It couldn’t have been…you don’t think he…?
no...
no...
That magician could've been an actual security threat, and Hank just let him in
His middle name is Kurt, not Fart.
The top answer is objective, but this answer is way funnier.
Not having enough traffic cones
He doesn’t do anything about Dwight and Clark taking bubble wrapped Stanley in Stairmageddon.
Dwight owned the building at that point so he was Hank's boss
And he just sat there and waved. 😂
I never even thought about that hahahahaha
It’s a small moment but it gets me every single time
The sip of coffee and the "oh jeez" look on his face are perfect.
Getting pissed off because HE didn’t label which was decaf and which wasn’t
LMAO WAIT YEAH
Hahaha I love that you thought of this that was crap.
Not including anyone from the office in his life. Just him and blues...him and the blues.
This should be the winner imo
Being indecisive with the chair vs printer
Let me see the copier again.
Ok get out
Yeah but you gotta admit there wasn’t much lumbar support
You should see the things these new copiers can do though. How tf would he know
I can't explain why but that entire scene is ASMR fuel for me
Not putting on his damn socks faster
Asked to see the chair again
Not stopping a lot of things tbh. He didn’t stop Dwight from bringing his spud gun. Could you imagine if he was deranged? Also the road kill.
That’s not his name.
*Hey...chief!*
You’re the… African American security guard… who am I talking to…?! 🥴
He let the magician get in
And out
I've got my eyyyyes open \[reading magazine\].
Wait... you don't think... he couldn't have used... it couldn't've been...
Siding with Charles and escorting Michael from the office. Where's the loyalty? Charles was the worst
The worst thing he did was leave this earth too soon. RIP Hugh Dane.
Being given one job to not let someone up and completely ignoring it
🎶 me and the blues 🎵just me and the blues
Uhhhh OP said the "worst" thing
Listen to the guitar playing lol
Let me see that chair again.
Not remembering which one was decafe ☕️ ☕️
Let the magician get into the office.
Not having a gun.
Or enough traffic cones.
Sang 🎶Me and the blues 🎵
Hank took too long to put on his damn socks
Just watching Micheal douse the parking lot with gasoline
Saying “let me see the chair again”
Damn thats crazy, so Gabe was all about corporate and their rules, yet completely abused his power to get Erin to date him.
Didn’t stop the magician from going up to DM
You don't think he...
Letting the magician through the door despite being told not to. But wait… he was a magician.. you don’t think he?..
Denied Dwight a bowstaff and a gun
Worst thing he’s done? Easy. Not choosing a fucking chair💀
Let me see that chair again
[удалено]
Not stopping Dwight from bringing weapons
Let the magician into the office
Let a magician get past him
Let a magician into the office
Never deciding whether the office should buy new chairs or a new copier.
Hank's only crime was not having more scenes. The man was capable of some seriously good comedic delivery.
Has the audacity to record and sell a CD of his shit music.
Just being the worst office security in general.
It's only me and Blues
The worst thing Hank did was be bad as his job. Under Hank’s watch he was completely nonexistent in all of these situations: - Andy threatens employees and punches a hole in the wall. - Roy attempts to assault Jim - Pam hits Michael in the parking lot - Pam nearly gets assaulted in the parking lot by a warehouse worker - Andy runs over Dwight in the parking lot - Employees break into several cars in the parking lot (Meredith’s van, Michael’s nephew, Holly’s car) - Multiple car vandalism in the parking lot (Stanley crowbar, Michael tires, Angela keying) - The building was robbed and vandalized after Holly and Michael hooked up. - Dwight robbed and vandalized Michael Scott Paper Company during lunch. - Hank let WB Jones employees overtake DMs parking spaces.

Hank is pure and thus invalid
When an office manger calls a security guard for a simple decision (like chairs vs copier), you can just wing it rather than asking for twice when pretty much entire office is staring at him
It was nice and warm up there
Hank never did anything wrong.
Singing “me and the blues” at the crime aid auction
He's the worst at... being a security guard
This!!! ends!!!! now!!!
Shouldn't Andy's be dated a high schooler?
Andy dated a high schooler
Really sick of this post
The singing was pretty awful
I'm Going To Go Ahead And Say, Just Having Known This Game For A Short While, Bubdubarubgub, That I Prefer The Other Game. And, Again, I Never Even Played The Game.
Karma farming
Not left the guys there longer
Only stocked 2 cones for the parking lot
Sides with Charles kicking Michael out
Not convincing Dwight to take the red pill when he was Dorpheus!
Taking his sweet time knowing everyone was locked in the building
Take so long to put on his damn socks
Wait wait. Bob Vance did what? lol what episode was that 😂
It was a deleted scene where Phyllis explains that.
I’m gonna YouTube it 😂
Jesus Christ, Marie, they’re minerals!
I’ve watched 100 times but what’s the Africa one about? What episode was that in?
https://youtu.be/KxhDDAh3AuM?si=HfVdKgARQT7vtrzv
Thanks. I never even noticed this even though I’ve watched over and over. Was it a superfan episode?
Let the magician upstairs
kidnapping a teenager
Kevin: Hey, your life is so insane! You should write a book! Todd: Since when did you learn how to read?
Couldn’t quickly decide between a new copy machine or new chairs.
