10 Reasons Why Ross Geller Is TV's Biggest Ever Assh*le

4. The One Where He Has Serious Anger Management Issues

Ross Geller gets angry a lot, and it really doesn€™t take much to set him off. The slightest mishap or setback will instantly turn him into a whirling ball of rage, much like an exhausted toddler who hasn€™t got their own way. There is the time a coworker of his eats his sandwich, and he has an apoplectic meltdown, which is so intense that he ends up being sent on a sabbatical from work, forced to see a psychiatrist. These sessions have zero effect though. He manages to get angry at Chandler because Rachel has a dream in which they have sex; he has a temper tantrum because some moisturiser spills on his clothes; and he loses it because he finds out some students are using the bit of the library where his dissertation lives as a secret sex spot. He is so prone to flying off the handle that his own sister is terrified of telling him that she€™s dating one of his best friends. He has the capacity to get so worked up that you get the feeling he€™d eventually end up being labelled an €œactive shooter€ somewhere in midtown Manhattan if no-one stepped in to placate him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHsk-yOqGOs
