5. Rory drops out of Yale – Gilmore Girls
Lorelai Gilmore was so proud of her daughter Rory for getting into an Ivy League school but prayed that she wouldn’t become a spoiled rich kid. But no one could have foreseen what happened when Rory had a bad internship experience and in response, stole a yacht and refused to take accountability. A domino effect of bad choices and a hurt ego led her to drop out of Yale, and fans who once saw her as sweet and charming weren’t quite so charmed anymore.
6. Fiona puts Liam’s life in danger – Shameless
Fiona from “Shameless” didn’t have any easy life as the sole caretaker of her many siblings. She sometimes went off the rails, which was understandable given the level of responsibility she was thrown at a young age. But when she cheated on her partner with his brother in season 4 and somehow ended up possessing narcotics, she left the drugs out, and her younger brother Liam ingested them. He was hospitalized, and she was arrested. It was a heartbreaking moment that resulted in seriously poor decision-making.
7. Ross’s mistake when he and Rachel were on a break – Friends
Paleontologist Ross was always the goofy guy of the “Friends” group who was head-over-heels for Rachel. They ended up together but were on a break (it’s an ongoing argument about whether they were actually broken up at the time), and during this period, he slept with someone else. He even dared to think Rachel should be grateful for keeping the affair discreet. It turns out this nice guy really was a jerk.
