    24 Times "How I Met Your Mother" Made You So Freaking Angry

    Any time Ted did anything, basically.

    We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which moments from How I Met Your Mother really pissed them off. Here are some of their responses.

    1. When Ted cheated on Victoria with Robin.

    2. When Ted made Robin get rid of her dogs because they were gifts from her ex-boyfriends.

    3. When Lily broke off her engagement to Marshall so she could go to San Francisco, only to return a few months later.

    "Lily leaving Marshall and coming back expecting everything to go back to normal. Marshall did not deserve that at all."

    4. When Barney admitted that he once "sold a woman."

    5. And whenever Robin or Lily became a wingwoman for Barney.

    6. When the whole gang (even Marshall!) slut-shamed Robin for sleeping with the Naked Man.

    7. How HIMYM treated women in general.

    "The female characters are usually put into one of four stereotypical camps: mothers, 'crazy,' sluts, and 'cool girls' who are pretty much just bros with boobs.'"

    8. How homophobic and transphobic the show often was.

    9. When Lily stole a prized baseball from Ted's boss to teach him a lesson.

    "When Ted figures it out, she says that's what she would do to her kindergarten students if they were mean to someone. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! She not only puts her job in danger, but the jobs of others, including one of her best friends."

    10. When Robin dated (and even got engaged to) her court-ordered therapist.

    11. Every episode with Zoey in it.

    12. How few people of color there were for a show set in New York City.

    13. When Robin competed to be godparent to Lily and Marshall's kid, even though she never wanted children.

    14. Ted's entire relationship with the pretentious Karen.

    15. When Lily purposely sabotaged a bunch of Ted's relationships because she couldn't imagine growing old with them.

    16. How cruel Robin was to Patrice for no reason.

    17. When Lily guilted Marshall about working for a bank instead of being an environmental lawyer.

    18. When Barney essentially lied to Robin for months as a build-up to his proposal.

    19. Every time Marshall would make a major life decisions without consulting Lily.

    20. When the cast dressed up as Chinese characters in the final "Slap Bet" episode.

    21. When Robin and Barney got divorced a few minutes into the series finale.

    22. And when Barney went back to being a sleaze to women after he and Robin split up.

    23. When Tracy had to die in the finale just so Ted could end up with Robin in the end.

    "After all I invested into rooting for Ted to find the love of his life, it turned out he loved Robin all along?!"
