The columnist, who admitted to having spent $40,000 on shoes (what?) in one episode, repeatedly cheats on perfect-boyfriend Aidan with Bigthenkisses Aidan years later inSex and the City 2while married to Big. Let’s also please take a moment to slow-clap for Charlotte who delivered this epic line after Carrie got mad at her for not jumping at the chance to lend her friend money in season 4: “I love you. But it’s not my job to fix your finances. You’re a 35-year-old woman. You need to learn to stand on your own.” By the end of the episode, Charlotte ends up installing a payment plan for Carrie that we can only hope she followed through with since no mention of the sticky financial dilemma was ever made again.

Just take a look back at his relationship with Rachel, who he gets sulky around when she starts feeling professionally fulfilled at her new job at Bloomingdale’s. Or when he neurotically keeps an eye on Rachel at work to make sure she isn’t cheating with a co-worker.

03of 11JULIE TAYLOR,FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTSBill Records/NBC/Getty ImagesSure, Julie’s entitled attitude could be a product of her adolescence, butFriday Night Lightsfeatured plenty of teenaged characters who were at the very least tolerable. She’s disrespectful to her parents, doesn’t acknowledge her little sister Gracie Belle and embarks on a fling with a Swedish lifeguard, thus becoming totally unworthy of too-good-for-this-world Matt Saracen’s undying love.

05of 11ARIA MONTGOMERY,PRETTY LITTLE LIARSDisney/ABCShe may be a fan-favorite, but Aria is every bit problematic as the obvious villains on the long-running show. Not only does she betray her friends big time when she joins the A Team (and subsequently destroys Emily and Alison’s nursery!) but she’s also done really ridiculous things for love — like blackmailing her own dad and cheating on her sweet boyfriend Liam — during her on-again, off-again relationship with Ezra Fitz, her high school English teacher.Ugh.

07of 11PIPER CHAPMAN,ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACKPaul Schiraldi/NetflixWhile most of Litchfield’s inmates are in survival mode, Piper seems to use her time in prison as a way to prove she’s"quite gangsta"and hardly privileged. She’s also selfish. Remember that time she schemed to get her girlfriend, Alex Vause, back in Litchfield because she was lonely? Yeah, we rest our case. She has a few redeeming moments, though, like the time she put her savviness to good use when she launched an illegal dirty prison panty business that benefited her and her inmates.

Most definitely, considering Ted almost always does the opposite of what his friends advise and can’t seem to take “no” as an answer whenever faced with an ambivalent love interest.

09of 11RORY GILMORE,GILMORE GIRLSThe WB/Frank OckenfelsTo sum it up: She quickly rejects her mom’s dating advice — despite always throwing a fit whenever Lorelai fails to follow through with Rory’s relationship suggestions — and just can’t seem to recognize how privileged she truly is. Her disastrous taste in men is equally problematic, but that’s for another time.

We may be suckers for his flannel and backwards-baseball-hat, but that doesn’t excuse his grumpiest moments throughout the show’s run. Remember that time he didn’t tell longtime friend (and future wife) Lorelai that he had moved out of town? Yeah, pretty brutal. “You think everything is your business. Everything is about you,” he tells Lorelai, surprising her with a tantrum at her place of work, upon learning she was upset about his impromptu move. “Well here’s a newsflash, some things aren’t about you. I don’t have to tell you anything.” Sit down, Luke.
