(#10) He Dumped His Girlfriend Because She Shaved Her Head
When Phoebe asks Rachel permission to set Ross up on a date with her friend Bonnie, Rachel sees no threat because Bonnie is bald. But when Bonnie shows up with hair and is played by Christine Taylor, Ross becomes very interested and begins dating her. Clearly jealous, Rachel convinces Bonnie to shave her head again.
When Ross sees Bonnie again, he is appalled. As he touches her bald head, he cringes and says, “You can feel all of the bones in your skull.” He also complains that he can see the moonlight bouncing off of her head.
Granted, Ross never pretends not to be superficial, but it doesn't make him look like any less of a jerk when he comes crawling back to Rachel because he doesn’t like his girlfriend’s haircut.

(#12) He Got Irrationally Angry When Phoebe Said She Didn’t Believe In Evolution
In Season 2, Phoebe mentions that she doesn’t believe in evolution, and this infuriates Ross. On an intellectual level, his response is initially understandable. After all, Ross is a passionate paleontologist. But what’s so absurd is how personally Ross takes this, as though it’s the first wacky thing Phoebe has ever said.
After providing incredibly detailed answers to all of her questions, Ross shows up with a briefcase of fossils to further prove his point. As her friend, Ross should already know that Phoebe is going to believe whatever theory she’s going to believe, but it still drives him insane that he can’t convince her with science.

(#6) He Followed Elizabeth To Florida To Stop Her From Talking To Other Guys
When it comes to women, Ross very quickly vacillates from indifference to wild jealousy. In Season 6, he dates a 20-year-old college girl who is also his former student. In “The One With Joey’s Fridge,” Ross wrongly assumes that Elizabeth wants to go on vacation with him and he’s not happy about it. He’s enjoying his role as the older man so much that he assumes Elizabeth is madly in love with him and must be pursuing a serious relationship.
When Elizabeth tells him she’s actually going on spring break with her friends, Ross is initially relieved. But when he realizes that she will be partying with college guys, he immediately loses his overconfidence. Even though he claims he doesn’t want to be in a relationship, Ross behaves like a controlling boyfriend and disapproves of her revealing bathing suit. Then, he actually shows up uninvited to spring break and is seen on MTV dancing like a loser next to her. Elizabeth did not ask for this.

(#5) After Rachel Got Her Dream Job, He Complained That She Didn’t Have Enough Time For Him
When Rachel is a waitress at Central Perk, Ross looks down on her professional status and sees it as a drawback to dating her. But then Rachel gets a job at Bloomingdale’s that she’s really excited about. Instead of being supportive and happy for her, Ross naturally makes it about himself.
He complains that Rachel is neglecting him by simply doing her job - a move that would get Ross labeled as a controlling, problematic boyfriend these days. And meanwhile, he acts like his impressive career is the only thing that should matter.
“You never have the time,” Ross whines. “I don’t feel like I even have a girlfriend anymore, Rachel.”

(#2) He Told Rachel He Got Their Marriage Annulled When He Did Not
Season 6 opens with the aftermath of Ross and Rachel’s drunken Las Vegas wedding. When they become aware that they blacked out and got married the previous night, Ross and Rachel agree to get an annulment. But when Ross realizes this will mean he’s technically had three failed marriages, he begs Rachel not to annul it.
This is not because Ross loves Rachel so much that he can’t let her go, but because he believes three failed marriages will reflect poorly on him. When Rachel insists on the annulment, Ross lies to her, telling her he went through with it when he did not. This goes on for several episodes and he never actually admits the truth; Rachel finds out on her own.

(#7) He Bristled When He Found His Son Playing With A Doll
From the start of the series, it is implied that Ross has a chip on his shoulder about homosexuality because his wife divorced him after realizing that she’s a lesbian. The show is also largely set in the '90s, when homophobia ran rampant and unchecked, and was often used as a punchline.
If you had hoped that an academic like Ross who lives in New York City might be a little more open-minded, then you will certainly be disappointed. When Ross finds his son Ben playing with a doll, he exclaims, “Why is my boy playing with a Barbie?”
Sure, times were different, but it’s a disappointing stain on the Ross character that will make you cringe when you watch the show now. Luckily, Monica swoops in and reveals that, when he was younger, Ross used to dress up as a woman and asked his family to call him “Bea.”
