Paris actually asked her. Lorelai didn't bother asking when she invited everyone into the dorm for food on their first night at Yale. They didn't bother asking Tana either who was clearly awkward around people and might have been uncomfortable with being abruptly ambushed by so many.

Rory needed her mommy to cope with being away. What if the other girls had anxiety too and just needed to be alone?

And then when Paris actually considers her and asks her to have a party in the dorm she says 'I might be tired that night. I don't know how ill feel.' Well don't you think people who spent the entire day moving boxes into their new home might also be tired?

It just bugged me so much.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Lorelai and Rory. They're fun and dynamic characters to watch, and the show wouldn't be the cozy warm vibe it is without their big personalities.

But if I was at a town meeting on a Thursday night and needed to get home, I wouldn't appreciate the duo coming in late all the time and being disruptive. Taylor was annoying but he was right about that. It's not fair to the others. Lorelai throwing fries at Taylor? Entertaining, sure, but adults with lives who want to be involved in the town and fulfill their personal responsibilities probably wouldn't appreciate food fights delaying the ending of the meetings.

Lorelai also talked during movies and Kirk was right when he said that she was disturbing everyone in the theater. That's also valid. All those paying customers had a right to a proper, silent experience.

Then there's everything at Luke's. Throwing pancakes? Taking up a bunch of tables when it's busy. Trying to get tables from other people who are already sitting? Demanding Luke's attention when customers need to be served? I'd be unbelievably irritated.

This isn't a hate post. But just realistically speaking, I think most people in Stars Hollow would have probably found Lorelai at least (maybe not Rory) to be way too big of a personality. Aside from the main cast members that she's friends with, I just don't see how her behaviour wouldn't get old and frustrating. I LOVE lorelai but I love her because I watch her on a screen and her antics aren't getting in the way of my day. I might feel different if they were.

And obviously, there should be some grovel at some point. If this scene doesn't exist, I'm writing it myself dammit.
