    From Redditor u/kevinkim4714:

    The writers can never seem to make up their mind (for several seasons on a random basis) on who joined the company first, Jim or Pam. Gets to the point where it feels like it's some ongoing joke/Easter egg from the writers, no one can be this inconsistent... right?

    From Redditor u/DerrayProductions:

    I just noticed this massive plot hole. Micheal donated his childhood bike without training wheels into the toy box, however a pre-episode joke later on is that Micheal never learned how to ride a bike.

    From Redditor u/recker711:

    When Pam is walking around her high school (during "Job Fair") she talks about always faking her period to get out of volleyball/gym class... then in "Company Picnic" we see her go full Misty May on everyone.
