* NeverMyFault: Charles berates Jim for not stopping the kick which ended up sending the ball into Phyllis' face, never stopping to acknowledge that ''he'' was the one who kicked it in the first place. Not to mention that it was a ridiculously powerful kick that would make professional soccer players blanch to be on the receiving end of, never mind a bunch of white-collar office workers playing what is basically a friendly game during lunch.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: It finally hits Pam that as much as she loathed her receptionist job, it was a stable job with health benefits that allowed her to sit ten feet from her fiance, and she only quit it on an impulse when she could've done something smaller like get a tattoo to satisfy herself.

And in "The Delivery, Part 2" ''Michael'' is the one who gets the unintended eyeful- when he gets a bit too eager and barges into the delivery room ''while Pam is giving birth''.
