This cruel lie set us up for a lifetime of near-misses with coffee shop couches. The couch at Central Perk is always unoccupied and always has exactly enough room for all the friends to comfortably sit. In the real world, there s only one reason a couch in a coffee shop stays open for long, and it usually has to do with some kind of bodily fluid or spillage.
3. Working is more of a suggestion than a requirement.
Just to pick on Central Perk once more: you have to wonder what cushy jobs all the friends had that they could take hour-long coffee breaks at a coffee shop far from their places of work in the middle of the day.
4. You can pay for a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village on waitressing tips and chef s wages.
Alright, Rachel and Monica inherited the apartment and all its amazing furniture from Monica s grandmother, but they would still have to make rent on a part-time chef and waitress salaries. Seems a little too good to be true. Alas, it is.
5. You can have kids and still hang out with your friends just as much as you did before.
Nothing seems to get in the way of the friends hanging out at Central Perk, not even parenthood. Ben is born in the first season and Emma is born in the eighth season, but neither kid really seems to put a real dent in Ross or Rachel s social life, which is mighty convenient. Emma tags along to the coffee shop all the time, and Ben basically becomes Ross s ex-wife s problem
