6) Thanksgiving Tyrant Mode

Monica's Thanksgiving dinner planning is an over-management masterclass, and given Rachel's trifle disaster, it doesn't take long for her to literally step into full "Thanksgiving tyrant" mode. Monica has every aspect of the meal front and center, with orders to thoroughly micromanage Rachel's cooking attempts. Nobody's allowed to help, and everything is carried out with military precision. When she does allow others to help, everything has to be done a certain way. While it is understandable that Monica wants a perfect dinner, the inflexibility and need for control make it easy to lose patience with her.
