What are the most annoying and noticeable goofs and nitpicks?

The nitpick that I always pick out is in episode 4,12, in the lightning round. When Chandler and Joey get the pencil in Monica's ear question wrong, Ross moves onto the next question. But when Rachel and Monica get the Chandler's job question wrong, Ross doesn't move on! This is unfair towards the girls, so technically, they could have still won, andkept their appartment! Anyone else notice this??

I didn't notice that one! One that really BUGS me, is:

In TOW the prom video, Monica's Mom and Dad drop off a few of Monica's box's and tell her they are planning on turning her room into a gym. Now.

But in TOW Monica get's the porche (Forgot the actual title episode, sorry!) Monica is in her apartment, in the kitchen talking to Ross saying how he is their parents favorite, and Ross was like, cmon, they love you too! Monica then says, please! Dad turned my room into a gym 45 minutes after I left.

Explain that, LOL!

I noticed that in the very first episode Monica (Apt # 5) and right across were Joey and Chandler(Apt. # 4)

Now, Monica's # is 20 and Joey's # is 19.

They never sold their apartments or moved did they?

The apartment numbers changed around the 4th or 5th episode of the first season. My thoughts on why the change from 4 and 5 to 19 and 20 is that the apartments, especially Monica's, seem to be located on the top floor of the building (balcony, the view, the pillow falling, Rachel falling while taking down the Christmas lights, etc.). So, if the apartment was 5, it would be on the ground floor or the first floor. JMHO.......

I've noticed a few goofs, but the one that got to me the most was in the first episode when Rachel and Chandler act like they have never met before, but they almost had an affair before she was married.

Also, Chandler didn't seem to know Monica used to be fat when she showed them her bathing suit from high school, but in the Thanksgiving flashback episode, we see that they met each other years before. I guess that one is pretty understandable because it wasn't the writers' original intention to pair Monica and Chandler together, so they had to make up a new history for them.

I can often see spotlights reflected in the windows, etc. At the end of the episode where Rachel finds out about Monica and Chandler (when she is talking to Joey), you can see shadows of the crew members reflected in the window.

I think what you're remembering is a daydream that Rachel was having while driving. She and Chandler never came close to a romantic encounter.
