The math on how many times I've seen The Office is actually embarrassing

I was bored last weekend and actually counted up how many full watch-throughs I've done of The Office (US version). I figured it was a lot because my wife always gives me a hard time about it playing in the background while I work from home. Turns out I've seen the whole series from start to finish 17 times since 2018. That is roughly 3,400 episodes or something like 1,500 hours. It really hit me when I did the math that I've spent almost two entire months of my life watching one show. There are episodes I can basically recite word for word like the fire drill one or when Michael leaves. Has anyone else ever actually counted their rewatch numbers or am I just the guy who needs a new show?

So are there specific episodes you skip or do you genuinely sit through the whole Scott's Tots nightmare every time? Because claiming seventeen full runs means you've endured that cringe seventeen times, which seems like a choice.

Sit through the whole thing every time, it's really not that bad. People act like Michael promising those kids college tuition is some war crime but it's just a TV show, you know? The cringe is what makes it funny, and it's like 4 minutes of awkwardness tops. Honestly if I skipped every episode that made me uncomfortable I'd have like 3 episodes left of the whole series.
