While Pam is trying to paint her mural, Hide stands below her scissor lift and watches her.

Later while Pam is explaining the inspiration for her mural, Hide yells "Your painting sucks!" which Pam responds to by telling him to shut up. ("The Target")

When Pam is trying to paint her mural, Hide annoys her by asking why she is painting bushes given that paper comes from trees. To get rid of him, Pam tells him that Dwight is hiring for a sales position upstairs and he decides to interview. Needless to say, Dwight decides not to hire him. ("Junior Salesman")
