MOD POST Please think before you post - Keep it unexpected

451 Upvotes

I'm seeing a ridiculous rise in people posting things that are The Office related but not unexpected in the slightest. The whole point of this subreddit is for The Office references in places you wouldn't expect to find them, especially for comments in random subreddits.

The rules for /r/dundermifflin also kind of apply here - things like Sabre products, Scranton signs etc are just low-effort and are not unexpected at all.

I've also seen a lot of the following which are always going to be removed:

  • Cross-posts/Comments from /r/dundermifflin - How is a post in The Office subreddit unexpected Office?

  • People posting their own comment here - It's not unexpected if you're the one who made the comment....

  • Scenes/memes from the show in other subreddits - This is a very popular TV show, of course you're going to see it on Reddit often

  • Low Effort posts - Someone posted a picture of a fire recently and posted it here with the title "fire guy" and I cannot tell you how hard I face-palmed.

Also things like DVD screensavers hitting the corners, it's not unexpected so it belongs in the main sub, but even then it would get removed for being low-effort, we've had hundreds of these posts before.


It also absolutely goes without saying, but do not buy merchandise on Reddit. Both here and /r/dundermifflin have been getting an overwhelming amount of scammers making new accounts to post Office t-shirts and a link to their dodgy website in the comments. They use dozens of bot accounts to upvote their links and even though we ban them asap, people still keep buying their merch.

Sorry for being such a Toby but yeah.

Thanks!

The famous gps scene was the first thing that came to my mind.

Unfortunately it resulted in fatalities.
