"Friends" has no shortage of continuity errors and goofs, including the fact that Monica's (Courteney Cox) apartment changes numbers for no discernible reason. In the pilot episode, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) storms into the coffee shop wearing a wedding dress, and she's introduced to all of the friends, including Chandler (Matthew Perry). It's clear that they've never met before, but this is proven untrue in later episodes.

Several flashback episodes show that not only did Chandler and Rachel know one another, but they directly interacted on multiple occasions. There are Thanksgiving episodes that show them together, and there's another that flies in the face of the pilot. When Ross (David Schwimmer) and Chandler are in college, Monica and Rachel stop in for a party. Chandler once more interacts with Rachel with his A Flock of Seagulls haircut, attempting to entice her to go to the same school.

Toward the end of the episode, Chandler attempts to kiss Rachel, and she pulls back. He explains that he's in college and in a band, which is more than enough of a reason to lock lips, and they make out. How then did they not know one another just a few years later? Not to mention Chandler cut off part of his toe in a Thanksgiving episode with Rachel in attendance, which isn't something a person forgets.
