Oh god yes, thank you so much for that list - I had clocked them all but had struggled to remember them all in my previous post! How could I forget that Monica was almost orgasmic as Rachel described in great detail snogging him? And how she willingly tried to listen to him having sex with Charlie, thanks to the paper thin walls?
Icky

No problem
I had a vague memory of a weird Monica and Ross scene because I pointed it out to my husband at the time how messed it up it looked and then just at that moment someone else posted it on Twitter so I figured if I googled something would pop up
Another moment which irks me is when Ross tries to tell a joke to Paul, Elizabeth's father, involving an Irish man and Paul interrupts him with "I'm Irish...". Well, he must cover up his Irish accent very well! Presumably he was referring to having Irish grandparents or something. Well, my paternal grandparents were Welsh but I'd never say "I'm Welsh". Ha, anyway...
My posts here seem to be less about gripes with the series and more suited to a 'Moments in Friends which annoyed you' thread!

One that annoyed me was the Chandler and Rachel inconsistency. I swear they met for the first time around 5 times.

The majority of that list isn't bad. I am close to my sister (I'm a guy) and talk to her about a lot of stuff. Actually, a lot of siblings do the things they did.

That's OK annoying moments are allowed too. Livens up the thread. Hell we can even have praise for the show from Time to time too.
Re Paul the Irishman I'd say be probably had some Irish ancestry And was just looking for any reason to have a go at Ross.
On the father thing, while the Bruce Willis story was funny they already did Ross cacking his pants with Rachel's dad you'd think he'd have learned a few tips on dealing with daddy's girls
I think I posted this already but when Rachels dad burst in on him and Mona why didn't Ross stand up for himself?

Because Ross is a spineless whiny idiot.
Although funny at times in the later seasons, I never liked the character. He was a weasel. I especially hated him during seasons 1-3 when he was pining for Rachel.

Aww, I love Ross. Sure he can be pretty annoying, but when he's funny he's amazing. I still chuckle when I think of him throwing that drunken dinner party for Rachel, Joey and Charlie

Remember his leather trousers? Or the really white teeth and the black light? Or the automatic sun tan machine?
Chandler's weight.
He looked very scarily thin in Season 3. Was this the peak of his personal problems? In s4 he looked much healthier and then in S6 h got quite chubby (towards the end), then again in S7, lost a lot again.

I think the only time I found Ross genuinely amusing on a consistent basis was during season 5 when he had his breakdown after he divorced Emily.

It was the way it happened as well. They'd had this amazing story arc all the way through then it seemed the producers decided they liked Mike more and to make it all ok, they made David a complete buffoony idiot in the ep where she dumped him for Mike.
I get they wanted it all to be okay for Phoebe to go back to Mike, but She went from being torn about her feelings to being over David in a matter of hours.
They just did David a disservice and I felt made his character an object of ridicule to satisfy breaking them up neatly.
If they had to go with Mike (which I don't agree with) I think they should have made it more the focus of an episode and had the whole heartbreak angsty thing they did with Monica and Richard.
I find it a bit annoying how Phoebe's wedding was treated so low-key. Ross marrying Emily was a season finale, the whole of series 7 was a build up to Monica and Chandler's wedding and both of them were two-part episodes. Yet Phoebe's was in the middle of season 10 with hardly any build up. I don't like the character of Phoebe but I would have liked her wedding to be a big deal. I think she was always treated like a minor character compared to the other five.
When someone (I think Chandler) said "you do realise that's your brother?", Monica yelled "SOMEBODY SWITCH!" and went to listen to Joey and Rachel instead.

I always thought he was
Best episode for me - Ross pretending he's FINE
I didn't like the awful way David was written out no way would Phoebe even at her bitchyest treat someone that way.
They could've just given her a new boyfriend for the sake of the Mike flying to Barbados on a whim storyline if it was really nessecary.
I also don't like the way they made him out to be the love of her life in the later series when it had been established, crudely by Ross, that Phoebe never had a serious relationship! She spent more time with her submarine guy than with David!
I agree with the post above about Phoebes wedding, they could've done more with it, especially after all the fuss of them not donating all the money they just happened to have to the charity so then they could have the big wedding and none of her family featured.

amazing. He has great comic timing. I only disliked him during his Emily phase.
I was annoyed by how often Pheobe would complain about her father's disappearance, yet when he turned up at her grandmother's funeral and wasn't seen, mentioned or referred to again.

Why the hell did they knock? The door is always unlocked and they all have keys. If they thought maybe someone was out why didn't they go straight to Joey and Chandler's? Why did Monica assume Chandler would knock when none of them ever do, and she was waiting for him in her bedroom?
Which then made me think about when Jill visits Rachel and she knocks on the door - Phoebe counts the group to check no one was missing, why would she assume that one of them would knock?
Then I remembered the episode where Monica reviews Alessandro's and Alessandro comes to have it out with her and she won't let him in the building by not buzzing him in with the intercom. If the building uses an intercom how did Jill even get in?”

The only sitcom people bother knocking in is Two and a Half Men. In Seinfeld it works well as a recurring joke that Kramer bursts into Jerry's apartment
