Five Reasons Why Ross Geller is the Worst

When Netflix announced that they were going to stream the ever popular 90s TV show "Friends," I was incredibly eager to see what all the hype was about. Needless to say, for the most part, I was not disappointed. I found myself incredibly amused and attached to the characters, as if they were my own friends—except for one. From the very beginning, something about Ross Geller just did not sit right with me. This was surprising, because the nerdy, puppy-dog aesthetic is usually relatable. However, I quickly realized a sentiment that many have echoed throughout the decades since the show came on the air: Ross is the worst.

1. He is the stereotypical “nice guy," and it is awful.

Every time a woman decides that she is tired of Ross blaming her for everything all the time and leaves him, Ross just cannot seem to comprehend why he cannot manage to maintain a relationship. He is just such a nice guy! He was so kind and polite! How could she find even a single flaw within their relationship?


However, from the perspective of someone who is not entirely self-absorbed, the reason seems completely obvious—Ross Geller is completely unconcerned for the well-being of anyone but himself.

2. Remember Ross’ older son, Ben? Neither does Ross.

The moment that Ross has a daughter with Rachel, it is as if Ben never existed. A “number one dad!” mug is certainly not in Ross’ future anytime soon.

3. “WE WERE ON A BREAK!”

No. Just no.

4. “I, Ross, take thee, Rachel-“

Okay, Ross, a word of advice: If you are standing at the altar with the person you promised to spend the rest of your life with, for the love of all that is good, GET HER NAME RIGHT. And once you screw that up—way to go, by the way—try to be a little understanding when she doesn’t immediately laugh it off. And once she runs away and hides from you because you are angry at her for not laughing off your stupidity, wait it out at the airport to see if she shows. Stay there all night if you have to. You got her name wrong at your wedding. She has the right to be a little late. And once you managed to ignore all this advice, do not invite the person whose name you accidentally said on your honeymoon with you. And once you invite that person, even though I explicitly told you not to, do not abandon them to chase after your ex-fiance. Do not do it.


5. Leather pants are never okay. Enough said.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
