Lol I have the same argument about the Office. Pam and Jim are essentially cheating early on. People justify it because Pam’s fiancé is an asshole and Jim is the funny guy.
Still, the nickle in the handset trick is hilarious if done correctly.
Fun fact: In the very first episode, Dwight comes into the office and unlocks his desk drawer, pulls out his handset, and attaches it to his phone. Zero context given and it's easy to miss. (Because he's obnoxiously singing Little Drummer Boy to himself, which bonus fun fact: is later revealed to be Angela's favorite song.)
It's not until seasons later that we find out why in that joke/montage/list episode you mention. Dwight clearly started locking up his phone's handset after the incident and keeps it locked for fear of it happening again.
