'My boss put candles in his dishwasher': 30+ Goofy bosses who make their workplace feel like 'The Office'

Having a funny boss is amazing, but having a wanna-be funny boss is much less ideal. 

You'll have many types of bosses throughout your life, and one specific type is the "Michael Scott" from The Office type of dude. This person is a manager who loves attention, thinks they're the ultimate people person, and most importantly, think they know everything about running their business. When u/Multicalibrador asked r/AskReddit, "What's the most Michael Scott-ish thing your boss ever did?" people had some excellent answers to the question. 

The bosses below do have their similarities to The Office main character, but some took things way too far. We're cringing hard at the boss who wanted to brag about bringing the largest amount of flowers to a funeral — what was he thinking with that weird brag? Someone also had a long list of hilarious things their boss got up to, such as doing pushups on the floor to impress potential new hires (presumably they never ever returned to that company!). 

Check out the collection of doofy bosses below. Then, face these powerful final bosses who you can simply never defeat.
