10 Most Annoying Mistakes You Never Noticed In Friends
9. Wait, When Are Everyone's Birthdays?
Forgetting a loved one's birthday can be pretty embarrassing, but not so much for these characters as they don't seem to have any clue when they popped out of the womb.
There are dates thrown all about the place in this show. For example, Ross was supposedly born in December and on October 18th. Plus, Rachel claims to have been born on May 5th, but in "The One With Chandler's Dad", she's revealed to be an Aquarius, meaning she was born in January/February.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the writers couldn't even decide how old they were. Ross remained 29 for three years, Joey (supposedly the youngest) turned 31 before Rachel was 30, and in the episode "The One Where They're Going To A Party", Joey claims that all the boys are 29. But, in "The One With The Birth", Monica says she's 26, and Joey is 25. So, how is Ross younger than his younger sister?! Buying them birthday cards must have been a nightmare.
You would think that these kinds of details would be seared into the writer's brains, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
