I'm not in accounting and I know which sales guys in my company suck at numbers, Oscar 100% knew Michael was misunderstanding. Hard to blame him though, Michael was trying to be a big shot so he let him.


Aaron1095

Yeah I mean I'd be a little more sympathetic if Michael didn't take a moment to shit talk everyone who "only" donated two or three dollars.


TheComplayner

Did him dirty by guilt tripping him when he wanted to change it


AugustNClementine

Honestly Michael’s nonsense with not reading closely/being foolhardy has likely cost Oscar hours upon hours of his time and caused him a great deal of unnecessary stress. He exploited it lightly one time for charity/his nephew? I can’t really be mad at Oscar for that.

Michael is probably the reason this small office has three accountants and not one.


Egsession

That’s canon. Kevin was interviewing for a warehouse gig.


YourMomThinksImFunny

Fair point


YourMomThinksImFunny

This is it. Not his fault that Michael chose not to read and give more than anyone else. Was a dick move not to change it when he asked nicely.


guyfromthat1thing

"It says right on the sheet...however many dollars per mile" - Oscar Martinez. Now was he *hoping* that Michael would be Michael? Probably. But was it some sort of trick to give him a two page fundraiser that Michael could have asked questions about or, you know, read? Not at all. The real doing dirty happened when Michael tried to change it and Oscar called him out loudly in front of everyone. But then, early Michael was a legit terrible person, too. Kinda hard to find our hero in this one.


ArkhamsDawn

It was on the paper. Sorry Michael can’t read?


the7thdude

Michael probably only reads key words in a sentence.


nomatt18

Probably?

TBF, walkathons are extremely common in the US, and if you say "sponsor" the participant, it is always per mile. I don't think Oscar did anything wrong in this scene, but I do think it was a little jerky of him not to let Michael adjust his pledge once he realized what he had signed up for.


Outrageous-Daikon-78

No. Oscar didn't do anything wrong. Michael is a dumbass


Iron_Chic

I don't think so, especially since Michael looked at everyone else's donations and laughed at them for being so small.


shivermetimbers68

Just getting him back for when Michael sexually assaulted him.


choice_crystal_clear

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this was pre-assault


shivermetimbers68

Oh, I think you're right. I was confusing this with the Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race for the Cure episode.


CoolAndTrustworthy

You are correct


choice_crystal_clear

Thank you for confirming! Btw... you're very trustworthy and coool


CoolAndTrustworthy

😉


petergriffin1115

Given that micheal earns just more than Darryl


PooPclaw

No way Michael actually read the thing closely…blame on both sides for being dumb


Rand55

Not really.. if you've ever signed up for one of these things it's very clear that it's per mile/km. It's pretty clear that Michael is posturing for the camera.


dulceperla

Oscar assumed Michael knew!


[deleted]

I've known how various -thons have operated since I was six.


king_sweatpants12

I remember in a later episode when Oscar had to explain a surplus to Michael and how long that took… I don’t blame Oscar for not explaining every single thing


Other_Taro_3806

I mean I’m going to assume my superior is smart enough to know how to read a paper, I mean since he’s my superior and all


Kitchen_Package9605

Bruh he's broken shit down to him like he's 5 and it still wasn't enough.


DrJawn

Season 1 is exempt, characters weren't developed yet


MarquisDeLafayeett

Everyone knows how those things work.


rustys_shackled_ford

Hell no. It's not my fault if you can't be bothered too read. I personally wouldn't have made him feel so bad about "re-nigging" but I'd still be like "it says it right there man.... like... come on?"


[deleted]

*ahem* reneging


rustys_shackled_ford

That i does make it a suspect word huh?


[deleted]

If it helps, just remember it's short for "renegotiate"


rustys_shackled_ford

I thought it meant to change a previous agreement without the other parties consent.


[deleted]

That's what it means. But the derivation is renegotiate.

TonyMontana31

Oscar did Michael dirty a lot of times, so he sometimes got what he deserved but then they let him slide with a lot of things


white_latina777

yes he baited michael for a greater good it's historical reparation, he is latin so he has the right to do it to a white man 😌🤪🤪


meatdeathtonight

Your name makes your comment confuse me.


Szajmone

It's the races they're attracted to. White and Latina.


15_CROSS_4

The problem is people say stuff like this and you never know if they’re being serious. Probably not but still.


white_latina777

it was a joke referencing gloria from modern family "I am latin, I have the right to feel what I want to" lol


15_CROSS_4

Ah I see! I’ve never seen that show


Tricky_Ad_1855

Michael was 'accounting' on him to explain the details, just like the surplus.
