* EmbarrassingBrowserHistory: In "Work Experience", a pornographic image with David's face is circulated across the office. After a prolonged hunt for the perpetrator, Gareth traces it to Tim's computer (though the culprit was in fact Finch). Gareth explains that it is quite easy to trace anyone's internet search history and offers to demonstrate it on David's computer. David stops him and asks nervously if it's possible to delete a browser history.

Added DiffLines:

* TheAllegedBoss: David is a mixture of type 1 and type 2.
** The first thing David does in the series is hire someone as a forklift driver when he knows the man does not have a forklift operating licence. When he later fires the same man, it's one of the few occasions we see him doing his job correctly.
** Even though the company is in financial trouble and needs to downsize and make redundancies, David hires a new PA solely because she is young and attractive and he's hoping to have a relationship with her. He mentions in series 2 that they had to make her redundant shortly afterwards.
** When someone photoshops David's face onto a porno picture, David is fuming and vows to deal with the culprit severely. When it turns out to be Finch, he suddenly changes his mind and says it's funny, thus undermining his authority. When he gets called out on this, he pretends to phone Finch and fire him, but gets caught dialling the speaking clock.
** In a deleted scene, David brags to Neil that he only has to give an order and his staff will obey. To prove it, he asks Emma to make him a coffee. She just snaps "get it yourself" and walks off.
