Gilmore Girls' protagonist Lorelai Gilmore makes plenty of mistakes throughout the show's run and A Year in the Life.

Fighting with Rory about how she lost her virginity.

Not letting Emily and Richard be in Rory's life.

Body shaming people in A Year in the Life.

Initially refusing Yale, even after Rory showed interest.

Staying overnight with Rory after dropping her off at college.

Not wanting to spend Thanksgiving with the Gilmores.

Mocking bed and breakfasts when she works in hospitality.

Making Luke do a ton of housework for her birthday every year.

Calling Pennilynn Lott her "almost Mommy."

Hiding her letter for Luke from Christopher.

Not speaking to Rory for most of Season 6.

Constantly terrorizing Michel at the Inn(s).

Gilmore Girls' protagonist Lorelai Gilmore makes plenty of mistakes throughout the show's run and A Year in the Life.

Certain long-running TV shows end up becoming a part of pop culture forever, and Gilmore Girls is definitely in that category. The beloved WB series has been watched and re-watched countless times by fans since its inception, with Netflix eventually producing a four-part event series titled Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. And while I'm a hardcore fan who loves Stars Hallow and its residents, there are some moments where Lauren Graham's Lorelai Gilmore is the absolute worst and doesn't realize it.

This isn't to say that I hate Lorelai, but she makes plenty of mistakes during the show's seven-season run, as well as A Year in the Life. The three titular Gilmore Girls are flawed, which is why fans love them so much. That being said below are some moments where Lorelai messed things up.
