Despite knowing that Paolo has the sexual self-control of a one-year-old Dalmatian at the dog park for the first time, Rachel decides it would be a great idea to tell him that Phoebe is a masseuse and where she works. He makes an appointment with her without asking her beforehand if she'd be comfortable massaging him, which she visibly isn't. He drops his robe in front of her, revealing he's totally naked; not even a courtesy towel around the waist. By the look on his face, he enjoys her discomfort.

As soon as Phoebe gets within groping distance, Paolo begins stroking her leg, and then grabs her butt with both hands. According to Section 130.52 of the New York state penal code, unwanted physical contact with a person's bathing suit areas is a Class A misdemeanor and punishable by up to a year in jail. But don't worry about the mood being ruined -- the moment (along with him showing off his concealed boner) evokes a huge laugh from the studio audience.

Phoebe is clearly very affected by this, as she tells all her friends at Central Perk what happened. Everyone except Rachel, of course. Instead of calling the police, or at least having him banned from the spa, or at even leaster calling Rachel immediately, Phoebe is just worried about Rachel being mad at her ... for ... cheating with her boyfriend? It's such a bizarre moment to watch, now that sexual assault is a thing. Ross encourages her to tell Rachel because it's "a feminist issue," but his tone makes it unclear if he means standing up for herself or letting her gal pal know that her boyfriend is a philandering dog.

But one thing's for sure: They all know for a fact that Rachel will be mad ... at Phoebe. Observe this interaction:

PHOEBE: She is gonna HATE me.
ROSS: Yeah, well ...
AUDIENCE: LOLOLOLOL!!!!

What. The. Hell.

If you were assaulted by a friend's romantic partner, that incident would be enough to tarnish that friendship for a long time, if not forever, regardless of how well each party handles it. The guilt of knowing you brought a predator into your close circle of friends, the regret of your friend losing someone they were falling for, the trauma of being violated in your workplace, the mutual shame of the whole moment. And that's without the added layer of being certain that your friend would blame it on you. That's a "see you never" moment if there ever was one.

Rachel, to the surprise of all, handles the situation without blaming Phoebe, but she still reacts as if she found out she's been cheated on, not that her friend has been violated. Even if she had handled it perfectly, there's no way those two women will be dancing in a fountain together for a while after that.

All Ross wants to do is get married and have a family. While this does end up happening with him and Rachel, she spends most of the series purposefully torpedoing every chance he has at such a partnership. Rachel is a key component in the demise of every marriage-bound relationship he has.

Let's review:

-- Rachel decides on a whim to fly to London with the intention of stopping Ross's wedding to Emily (whom she set him up with in the first goddamn place), but decides against destroying his life once she arrives. However, her presence is enough to stoke the part of Ross's brain that's been in love with her since high school (it's about 85 percent of his brain), and he says Rachel's name during the vows instead of Emily's. Unsurprisingly, Emily hightails it immediately after the ceremony and begins planning their divorce. However, Rachel makes up for it by going on Ross's honeymoon by herself, all expenses paid. What a friend!

-- She convinces his girlfriend, played by Christine Taylor, to shave her head so he'd no longer be attracted to her. It works. He found someone, and she removes his ability to be aroused by her. For Rachel is the boner queen! All other queens must fall!

Warner Bros. Television

Her plan leads him right back into her arms, but not before she writes him an 18-page letter ("front and back!") explaining that he needs to take the blame for their first breakup. When it comes out later on that he didn't actually read that point, she dumps him again. But it was never about being with him; it was about suckling the sweet, sweet nectar of Ross's pain. For the record, I'm not saying women do this. I'm saying Rachel does this.

-- She makes fun of Ross for dating a younger woman, which is pretty rich coming from someone who only gets wet for doctors and sexual predators. Despite really liking her, the idea that she's too young gets into his head, and he breaks up with her. This isn't totally on Rachel, but she contributed to the group mocking. Oh, also? She fucks the girl's dad. Nice going, Rachel! Nothing sabotagey about that!

Ross and Rachel do get together down the line, but only (we can assume) after Rachel tires of waiting for Ross to kill himself.

This entry alone could be an entire article, so I'll be quick: Chandler and Joey are gray-area sexual predators.

Warner Bros. Television

Maybe you're thinking, "Oh come on, it's a sitcom. They're just being guys." Cool, so:

-- Chandler asks his female employee on a date instead of firing her, and then fires her anyway.

-- Both men pretend to be someone else in order to sleep with different women, which is rape -- the kind that's pretty difficult to prosecute.

-- Throughout the entire series, Joey relentlessly tries to fuck his platonic female friends in a fashion that suggests a diagnosable lack of impulse control.

-- Chandler leaves a woman handcuffed to her desk overnight in her underwear.

-- Chandler dates Janice on and off for years, despite openly despising her, lying to her, badmouthing her behind her back to his closest friends, and overall treating her like shit. The joke is that Chandler hates her and dumps her as soon as he takes her back. On this show, it's comedy. On the show about Janice's life, it's a nonstop nightmare.

Warner Bros. Television

-- Joey is eager to get to a Thanksgiving party with models who plan to drink a lot and not eat much at all. He (and Ross this time) is so psyched about being around these women who wouldn't go for him if they had their wits about them. Women with low BMIs are more likely to black out, especially if they drink a lot all at once on an empty stomach. Joey cannot wait to go have sex with some hot women who can't consent. Chandler and Joey talk about getting women drunk on several occasions, which in passing is NBD but in reality is pretty fucking low.

-- When Chandler moves in with Monica, Joey only seeks hot young women to live with him in order to have easy access to their beds.

Lesson learned: Keep these guys away from your female friends.

How was Ross not fired for waking up dick-first butt naked in his place of business? That is not forgivable.

But also it's Tom Selleck, a male sex witch, so it's at least partially understandable.

Warner Bros. Television

At his wit's end, Mr. Heckles takes to banging on the ceiling with a broom to get them to shut up. (For some reason, he needs to stand on a chair to do this. Which is not their fault; they have no control over how high their ceilings are. This is the only way they are blameless.) While frantically trying to get them to pipe down one night, he falls off the chair, presumably either snaps his neck or hits his head, and dies alone. His last moment on this earth was full of anger, frustration, and desperation. He died a bad death. It is their fault. They add insult to injury by taking all his belongings, as it turns out he left his entire apartment's contents to them in his will. They give away and/or break all of it.

They are bad people and he is dead.

Warner Bros. Television

If you and a group of friends were communally responsible for a helpless old man's death, that would absolutely affect your ability to remain buddies. In reality, they all would have silently packed up their belongings and left town for different cities, never to talk again, with fingers crossed that they wouldn't be cursed with a wasting illness or stalked by his ghost. These guys? They frown for a bit but are back to the hijinks by the next episode. What a bunch of emotional terrorists. Speaking of which ...
