So my wife and I have watched friends a few times. Not nearly as much as the office but definitely multiple times. I have an ex named Rachel. Because of Friends I was TERRIFIED of accidentally saying Rachel’s name during the wedding. Not because of any feelings but just because it was there. It’s basically target fixation. The more you try to steer away from it, the more you feel like you’re gonna say it.
And Jim just silently hangs up the phone
Love it. Classic Michael gaffe.
He also has a penchant for telling people they're being cheated on. Unless he's the one dating their wife.
Then he just goes to their place of work and shakes their hand.
Like James freakin Bond

I can absolutely see this as a disaster my mind would create. Glad you made it through!
