* RealityEnsues: In TheStinger of episode 1, Yamagami and Hasebe are lectured by their superior for their earlier outburst, in which Yamagami chased Hasebe down the hallway because Hasebe made some inappropriate remarks about her.

* BrilliantButLazy: Hasebe is actually really intelligent though he prefers to slack.
* TheCasanova: Hasebe frequently asks the ladies (be they customers or colleagues) for their email addresses, and usually succeeds.

* ExpressiveHair: Yamagami's IdiotHair has the interesting ability to change form depending on her current feelings.

* OverlyLongName: Yamagami's first name is so long it is often abbreviated to just simply Lucy.[[note]]The full extent of her name is unclear and one variant has it as "Lucy Kimiko Akie Airi Shiori Rinne Yoshiho Chihoko Ayano Tomika Chitose Sanae Mikiko Ichika Yukino Rena Eri Ai Tamiko Chiaki Emilia Juria Shizue Erina Kazusa Yumeka Natsuki Rara Rieko Setsuri Chikako Azumi"[[/note]] This becomes a perennial [[BerserkButton sore point]] for her and she even claimed that she became a civil servant simply because she wished to exact revenge on the sloppy bureaucrat that approved her name! (Her parents gave the said bureaucrat a long list of name to ask help them choose a suitable one, but he just registered all those names as her legal name.)

* ShrinkingViolet: Miyoshi gets flustered rather easily, despite being the oldest of the three newcomers. It seems to make her a favourite among the elderly though.
* TheSlacker: Hasebe. So much so that the first questions he asked Ichimiya were details about break time and the whereabouts of places he could slack in.

* OverlyLongName: Yamagami's first name is so long it is often abbreviated to just simply Lucy.[[note]]The full extent of her name is unclear and one variant has it as "Lucy Kimiko Akie Airi Shiori Rinne Yoshiho Chihoko Ayano Tomika Chitose Sanae Mikiko Ichika Yukino Rena Eri Ai Tamiko Chiaki Emilia Juria Shizue Erina Kazusa Yumeka Natsuki Rara Rieko Setsuri Chikako Azumi"[[/note]] This becomes a perennial [[BerserkButton sore point]] for her and she even claimed that she became a civil servant simply because she wished to exact revenge on the sloppy bureaucrat that approved her name!
