One of the most iconic Michael moments happens in Season 7, Episode 15 when Jim leaves him stranded at a gas station with his phone and wallet locked in Jim's car. While his office employees try to track him down, Michael stumbles around Scranton in his usual clumsy way, stopping at a pet store to "talk" to the animals and even visiting a hot dog stand to trade his watch for food. But everything he does is driven by a deep longing for connection. The humor here isn’t just rooted in his cluelessness; it's a poignant reminder that beneath the title of “World’s Best Boss” is a man who frequently battles loneliness.
