‘The Big Bang Theory’ is one of my favourite shows, simply because it has some of the best characters and, of course, the one and only Sheldon Cooper. But just like any other sitcom out there, this one too has some rotten apples and there is one character in particular who makes me want to kill myself.

I really did not have a problem with Penny in the beginning of the show. I mean she was the cute girl-next-door with a big heart, and seemed to be perfect for the shy and adorable Leonard Hofstadter.

Then suddenly I got the feeling that Penny was getting too much power. Sure, when you are a hot chick surrounded by four nerds who clearly adore you, it must be a good feeling. But then the way she began to lord herself over the guys and constantly kept picking on them, their hobbies and interests, it did not sit well with me.

Sure, it was fun watching Leonard woo Penny and try to get into a relationship with her, and I was even happy when they got together. But, oh God, what followed next was nothing short of painful and cringey. Watching Penny toss poor Leonard around her tune was just sad. I couldn’t see the ‘cuteness’ anymore, and Kaley Cuoco’s character started to piss me off like anything.

Needless to say, watching Leonard lose himself and his self-respect was not an easy sight. Somehow, Penny made it look like a hot woman could get away with anything, and that was just wrong. Instead of being supportive, she made it look like she was doing Leonard a huge favour by being his girlfriend.

So I have compiled 10 reasons why I feel that Penny is literally the worst girlfriend I have ever seen among sitcoms:

1. She Treated Leonard Like A Downright Dispensable Object

2. She Never Respected Leonard’s Interests & Always Made A Point To Mock Him

3. Leonard Was Constantly Under The Fear That She Would Break Up With Him

4. She Continuously Kept Putting Leonard Down

5. She Never Gave A Damn About Leonard’s Job & Took Him For Granted

6. She Knew She Could Get Away With Practically Anything When It Came To Leonard

via GIPHY

7. She Always Kept Leonard Hanging Around & Ensured He Was On Her Hook

8. At One Point She Even Bragged About Making More Money Than Leonard, Completely Forgetting What He Did For Her In The Past

via GIPHY

9. Kept Making Leonard Go Out Of His Comfort Zone, But Had Problems When It Was Vice Versa

10. Used Her ‘Hotness’ To Get Her Way As If That’s The Only Thing A Woman Has In Her Arsenal
