Gunther, the coffee shop employee from FRIENDS that wasn't initially supposed to be reoccurring, became one of the most memorable of the peculiar side characters on the show. However, he was always a little shy of fitting into the main group. We all know a Gunther. Heck, we are all partially Gunther. Here are some indicators of the unfortunate feat:
1. You high key fall in love with someone with no interest in you.
Rachel never even gave him the time of day.
2. Do your friends even know your full name?
3. All you want is to be invited to things.
4. You get the crappy Christmas presents.
For example, a slinky that your girlfriend didn't like.
5. Your advice always falls a little short.
6. Clumsy is your middle name.
7. Sometimes you interrupt at the wrong time.
I mean, Phoebe was in the middle of a break-up for goodness sake.
8. You occasionally give into your bad habits.
Like smoking, or as Gunther would say, "Oh, Dark Mother, once again I suckle at your smoky teat."
9. For some reason, you just can't get a date.
10. You get a little weird when you're trying to get to know someone.
11. Your "real job" isn't what it's cracked up to be.
12. Sometimes you do really exuberant favors for your friends.
Like buy their extremely expensive and terribly hideous cat.
13. You're at work so often no one recognizes you in a t-shirt.
And when they do, you look a lot like Charlie Brown.14. You forgive a little too easy.
Especially involving people named Rachel.
15. Sometimes you can be a bit too blunt.
16. Like all the time.
