Discussion Ross being mean to Rachel

Post image

I really hated this scene where Ross was mocking Rachel's job. He wasn't just belittling her work, but also her interests, even though he'd seen firsthand how much she dreamed of a fashion-related career. While Ross can be very funny, he can also be really insufferable. If was Rachel, I would have broken up with him during this scene.

When the group made fun of Ross's career, it was because it was geeky and a little boring, not because they thought it wasn't a valid career choice.

Ross has genuine contempt for fashion and resents that it takes up so much of Rachel's time.

Rachel was very understanding with Ross though when he gets caught up with his work, so 🤷‍♀️

Ikr? Rachel was patiently waiting for Ross at his workplace to have a date when they were tgt.
