Just realized I've patched drywall 47 times in this old house

I was counting up all the holes I've fixed since moving into this 1920s bungalow last year. Turns out I hit 47 patches between old plumbing access panels, random nail holes, and a few oops moments with a hammer. The weirdest one was a fist-sized hole behind a closet shelf that looked like someone got real mad packing boxes. Anyone else keep a running tally of their repair work or am I just bored on weekends?

Those are usually old gas pipe holes, not fists.

Respectfully @williamt44, those old pipe holes look an awful lot like knuckle marks to me.
