How is that shit different from Discord shitty server exclusive emojis. This crap is so… exhausting

That’s what the picture is meant to do, but in practice it’s not quite as bad, depending on what kind of high-rise city you’re used to. I feel a lot more claustrophobic in Paris or some other French cities, no contest.

Looks more like the inner driveway. Usually for people whose car is parked outside. If it’s like in China, it’s not for driving per se.

Because they weren’t already listening in?

I’m curious if you’re from the UK, OP, because I think this colours your perception of the The Office very much. For the record I loathe both, but The Office UK is a typical British comedy of taking the absolute piss of the characters, who are irredeemable fools one and all. You re not supposed to find them funny, or like them. You’re supposed to laugh at them. That’s the usual expectation, with British comedy.

Americans seem to have great difficulty with that concept, and can’t seem to handle a protagonist that is made fun of.

Again, not defending the show itself. Just saying you need to be aware of this approach when you watch British comedy in general. The common language should not make you forget the ocean of cultural differences in between.
