Being subtweeted by Dwight Schrute is the only good way to get subtweeted

A great icebreaker story.

Learning you're the subject of a subtweet sucks.

Learning you're the subject of a subtweet shared by a celebrity, however, is kind of delightful in its own weird way.

For example: This Twitter user who claims he and his sister are the subject of a subtweet from Rainn Wilson, also known as Dwight Schrute from The Office.

The tweet in question is right here.

Seeing Dwight in person, the texter seems to have asked him for a photo to send to her brother. And Rainn tweeted that he refused the pic after she admits she's not an enormous fan of him.

A very Dwight-like response, if you ask us.

Shoutout to Rainn for giving these people an icebreaker that will serve them well for years to come.
