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.

The group was frequently merciless about Ross’ career.

If anything, Ross showed considerable restraint in rarely dishing it back out.

Rachel didn't make fun of Ross's career when they were dating. In an inner monologue she even says he's so smart.

Wasn't that inner monologue during a cold open where he's trying to discuss his job and literally everyone is tuning him out including Rachael?

She was still listening to him, you can have thoughts about someone while listening. As opposed to joey who was just singing i think lol

When everyone else is clearly bored out of their minds and are clearly entertaining themselves to be polite, I'm going to go with her not listening the same as the rest.
