Why does erin hate holly

No one helps her. Oscar owns one particular scene where he has come up with a "life hack" to "ab blast" every time an internet ad comes on. He steps up his ankle saddles in the door to the annex and does about four crunches before having to ask for help. No one answers the call. But when Phyllis appears behind him with two mugs of coffee asking for help, Erin steps up, holds Oscar aside like a curtain, and lets Phyllis pass.

Team player. Everybody loves Holly Flax. Everyone is thrilled for Michael and Holly, but in case no one noticed, from the moment they first met, Erin has been so incredibly underwhelmed by Holly. She just doesn't get why everyone likes her. For as nice as Erin is to literally everyone, it comes across as even more comical since she has this indescribable disdain for such a pleasant person. A lot happens in season 9, episode Dwight and Clark go to make a sale at a suit warehouse, Pam and Darrell go to Philly so Darrell can interview for—and land—a job and meanwhile, everyone else in the office enjoys a new espresso machine, courtesy of Jan.

Erin's mental turmoil may get lost in the shuffle. Pam left her in charge of a simple pen shipment, which Erin first unpacks, then repacks, unsure if she is overstepping her role and, as Kevin puts it, gunning for Pam's job.

Finally, when Pam returns to an office with the carpet ripped up and no one else around, she runs into Erin and asks what happened. As the documentary trailers start airing in the final season, one trailer promises to reveal the secret life of a public figure.

Immediately, the speculation runs wild, with people wondering who the public figure being referred to is. If you ask Erin, she has a very good idea who it is. I've been saying this for years," she says. It's almost on the level of a Robert California comment because of how specific it is and how much thought she's given it.

She's been saying it for years? Another gem coming out of the final season of the Office. When Andy is in the throes of his acting career, David Wallace comes to Scranton to chastise the wayward manager for his wanton spending of office funds, as well as his lack of focus on Dunder Mifflin. When Wallace first walks on, he asks Erin "is Andy in? The Doomsday Device is such a good episode for a lot of reasons. Dwight shows how much he cares about the office, Robert California is in top form, it's just a good watch no matter the scope.

But there is one instance where Erin is in top form, even if it lasts for just a moment. Kelly steps up to beg Dwight to shut the Doomsday Machine down, screaming, "Shut it down!

Shut it down! Not words, just screaming. He even broke the news that Erin wasn't the first woman Andy was with in the office. In "Classy Christmas," Holly was coming back to the Scranton branch and would be there just in time for the office's Christmas party. It's in this episode that Michael finds out Holly was not single and was living with her boyfriend. He was devastated because he planned a classy Christmas party around her, only to find out she would rather be in Nashua.

The two get into a heated argument and as Michael walks away, Holly tries to go after him but is immediately stopped by Erin. In a bodyguard stance, she says "No! As a couple, the two invited everyone over to Gabe's apartment to host a Glee viewing party. As per usual, Michael was annoyed. He was mad he had to go to a viewing party at Gabe's house and that everyone wanted to go, and once he saw how beautiful Gabe's home-life was he became jealous.

The whole night was a fiasco. What's worse is that Michael ignored Erin and her generosity the entire night. He did not realize that she looked at him as a father figure and was seeking his approval. His sour personality made Erin overthink. In the episode "Cafe Disco," Erin and Michael aren't besties yet but it was clear the two had a lot in common. Michael wanted to create a relaxing place outside of the office where employees could go to have coffee and dance.

He called it Cafe Disco. It was another one of his epic projects. Sadly, the cafe was a flop after Phyllis pulled her back while dancing. However, once Erin went down to the cafe with Kelly, the two girls began dancing and having a great time.

This brought more people to join them, and an eventual party was started. If it weren't for Erin and Kelly going back to an empty Cafe Disco, Michael's dream would not be a reality.

When Michael had to go back and see the group of students he promised college tuition to, the only person who would willingly go with him was Erin. Michael begged other people to join him but they all knew Michael did a terrible thing and he had to face it himself.

Erin elected to go with him but it only made it worse for Michael. In his mind, Erin wasn't as comforting to him as Pam was. The day ended up being horrific but if it wasn't for Erin, Michael wouldn't have smiled at the end. It's undeniable that Erin and Michael have the same maturity level.

They both laugh at the same things, are natural dreamers, and like adding fun to their day. All Erin wanted was a group of people who loved her; a family. Likewise, that's what Michael was trying to achieve after years of working as a regional manager. When Jim was promoted to regional manager, Erin came in at pm with "ants on a log" celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins. When Jim asked why Erin made him that particular snack, Erin said Michael asked her to do it for him every afternoon before spinning him around in his desk chair until he became dizzy.

Erin feels bamboozled because she liked Andy, not Kevin.
