'Office' romance

'Office' romance

By Molly Lambert, Special to Metromix

They say you're not supposed to date a coworker. Sure there's lunch hour sex to be had, and keeping secrets from management is always fun, but what happens when the spark dies down and you're stuck working with your ex-lover in the unforgiving closeness of cubicles?

To get you up-to-speed with the seemingly ceaseless romantic trysts on the greatest show about offices since… well, the original British version, we present this guide to “The Office'”s tangled web of love.

First up: The only thing Stanley loves more than his second wife Terry? Possibly crossword puzzles. Possibly ‘Free Pretzel Day.’ Possibly Pam Grier. And most definitely the tangy zip of Miracle Whip.

"The Office" returns with new episodes on Thursday, April 10 at 9/8c on NBC.
