8. Humiliating Sally Donovan In Front Of Her Colleagues
A lot of Sherlock fans hate Sally Donovan, mainly because she calls Sherlock, "freak". They see her as an often bitchy, snide member of Lestrade's division, and when Sherlock gave her a dressing down at a crime scene, it seemed like revenge. See things from Donovan's point of view though; this is a man who waltzed into her office, assumed authority over her, and started doing her job for her, working close with her boss she's implied to be Lestrade's deputy and putting pay to any chance of her getting a promotion. On top of this, he constantly ridicules her lover, Anderson. What reason does she have to like him, exactly? Taking everything into account, it was pretty nasty of Sherlock to expose their affair and make reference to the things that they'd been doing. They might have had it coming by being nasty to him, but that doesn't mean he wasn't horrible back.
