Man Credits An Episode Of 'The Office' For Literally Helping Him Save A Woman's Life 😮

In an unlikely new role for the beloved mid-2000s sitcom,'The Office' can now be credited as a literal lifesaver.


Cross Scott jumped into action once he noticed a woman (whom local newspapers have identified solely as "Clara") was unconscious behind the wheel of her car. Adrenaline took hold and he got her out by smashing her window with a rock.

Upon noticing the woman was not breathing, he began doing CPR--with chest compressions to the rhythm of "Staying Alive."

"I've never prepared myself for CPR in my life," Scott said. "I had no idea what I was doing."

Scott only says he was able to execute the life-saving maneuver because he recalled the episode of The Office above.



Reportedly, as he was doing the chest compressions, he actually sang the words to "Staying Alive" aloud.

At some point (likely around "I'm goin' nowhere, somebody help me," in the song) the paramedics showed up to take Clara to the hospital.

The paramedics thanked Scott for performing CPR, as she may have been in worse condition by the time they got there without it.

The Office caught on to the fact that they are now lifesavers.



And everybody is taking notice.








Apparently, the episode is actually used to train EMTs and CPR/AED certification seekers:

So, The Office really knows what it's talking about!






Cross Scott, 21, is the lead technician at Jack Furrier Tire & Auto Care in Tucson, Arizona, and was on his way to work when the incident occurred.

After the incident, Scott went to the hospital to check on Clara and see how she was doing, only to find she'd already been released.

"All I could think about was picturing her face," Scott said. "I had to make sure she was OK. That's the only reason why I went to the hospital."

"I imagine, what if that was my sister on the side of the road or my mom on the side of the road? Unfortunately my mom isn't here to see that, but it's mainly for her. To be honest, it's all for her."






We're looking forward to seeing what other functions The Office may serve, and whose lives they may save.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
