We all think about saying things that we would never actually mutter out loud, especially at work. Luckily, Michael Scott has no filter and says everything for us. Whether he's insulting Toby or just spewing his honest thoughts about his fellow employees, his day, girlfriend… anything, really, he never fails to amaze us. If only we could get away with having his candid conversations during the work day. Sigh.

Like, can you imagine getting away with saying this to that one coworker who really gets under your skin: "Who let the lemon head into the room? You are a waste of life and should give up." Not everyone can be as open as Michael and still keep their job!

The Office character has made us laugh and cry tears of joy over the years, and just because the series is over doesn't mean he's not still working his magic. After all, the show's reruns will last a lifetime. As will his infamous one-liners!

Check out the gallery to see 13 things he's said that we've all thought during the work day.

1 of 13

"This is the worst. This is the worst! You are the worst."

Everyone's feeling the minute work starts.

2 of 13

"I don't wanna work. I just want to bang on this mug all day."

Because really, who wants to work?

3 of 13

"I hate looking at your face. I want to smash it."

Just seeing your boss makes you angry.

4 of 13

"THIS. JUST. STINKS."

Especially when they give you more work to do.

"I understand nothing."

At times, things can get confusing.

6 of 13

"You are a thief of joy."

You wish you could just tell them how you really feel.

7 of 13

"Why are you the way that you are?"

You could help them be more universally liked.

8 of 13

"I know exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do."

And something you thought would be easy, turns out to be the worst.

9 of 13

"So what? I don't care."

Eventually you just let it go.

10 of 13

"I am dead inside."

More for your own sanity than anything.

11 of 13

"Who let the lemon-head into the room? You are a waste of life and you should give up."

And if any of your co-workers try to gloat about their successful day, you just put them in their place.

12 of 13

"An office is a place where dreams come true."

After all, how else will you help them make their dreams come true?

13 of 13

"Everybody dance now."

When it's finally time to leave, you feel like dancing. And it never gets old.
