10 Friends Timeline Mistakes You Never Noticed
3. Ross Forgets His Own Love History
Describing Ross Geller as a serial husband and possessing a wedding addiction is an understatement. He was married three times, all of which ended in divorce, had at least five further girlfriends, and a handful of one night stands and one-off kisses; his relationship history categorically rivals that of Joey's when comparing the two.
Ross' infamous time in the bedroom is so padded, in fact, that he can't recall who came first.
A subplot of the fourth episode - The One With George Stephanopoulos - focuses on Chandler and Joey attempting to comfort a despondent Ross, who's mourning the anniversary of when he and Carol first slept together. While at the hospital after Ross has been hammered in the face by a hockey puck, he discloses to the guys that his first time with Carol was his first time with anyone.
Except it wasn't.
In season seven's fourth episode The One With Rachel's Assistant, Ross recalls in college when an inebriated Chandler supposedly slept with the lady who cleaned their dorm. However, Chandler alleges that this was actually Ross, who fails to rebuff the rebounded allegation. Ross was doubtlessly drunk, too, and can't recall the night, but his lack of denial, puzzled look, and third rebuttal that Chandler had slept with a guy in Atlantic City - thus getting the spotlight off his own sexual humiliation - corroborates Ross as the remorseful suspect.
