The Most Despicable Things Each Friends Character Did Across All 10 Seasons
There are many heinous acts to choose from.
Over the course of Friends' ten-year run, Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Phoebe, Monica, and Joey became the ultimate fan favorites for many generations of viewers. But while the characters were quite likable, they did some very unseemly things on the show.
Here are the worst of them.
Joey kicked Chandler out of the car in the middle of the bridge
While Joey has never been a gentleman and has taken advantage of many women, it wouldn't be the worst thing he's done in the ten seasons of Friends. In Season 5, Episode 22, Joey and Chandler were on their way to Vegas, and Chandler said that he didn't think Joey's new movie would be his big break, which was a nasty thing to say to a friend. Of course, Joey was hurt, but he endangered his best friend's life by leaving him in the middle of the road on the George Washington Bridge.
Phoebe forced Monica to confess to Chandler
Although Phoebe was generally nice, she was always too mean to Chandler. In Season 7, Episode 16, she made Monica confess to Chandler who Monica wanted to spend the night with in London. 'Tell him who you originally wanted to hook up with that night,' Phoebe said in an attempt to belittle Chandler once again, which soured Monica and Chandler's relationship.
Ross fired his and Rachel's baby's nanny for being a man
Ross had many annoying qualities. He was an impatient and immature hothead. But most importantly, he was narrow-minded. In Season 9, Episode 6, Ross objected to Sandy being hired as a nanny for Emma just because he was a man. After a series of sexist and homophobic comments, Ross agreed to hire Sandy, but ended up firing him because Geller couldn't handle the idea of a man working as a nanny.
Monica went to Richard to complain about Chandler
Like her brother, Monica had many annoying qualities, but her indecisiveness was probably the most irritating. In Season 6, Episode 25, she went to see her ex Richard behind Chandler's back and talked about her and Chandler's relationship, saying that she wished Richard had proposed to her years ago.
Chandler ran away on the morning of his wedding to Monica
One season later, Chandler did come to ask Monica to marry him, but right before the wedding, in Season 7, Episode 23, he got cold feet and ran away. The most despicable thing about it is that he didn't even have the heart to leave Monica a note, instead asking her friends to apologize to her on his behalf.
Rachel flew to Ross' wedding in London to tell him she loved him
The relationship between Rachel and Ross is one of the major storylines and sources of drama on Friends. As they broke up and got back together over the course of the show's ten-season run, they did a lot of ugly things. But Rachel's nastiest move came in Season 4, Episode 23, when she selfishly flew to his and Emily's wedding in London to confess her feelings for him.
