The series has a lot of nasty and annoying characters, but fans have chosen the most unpleasant one.

How I Met Your Mother is a popular American sitcom that aired for nine seasons from 2005 to 2014.

The show revolves around a group of friends in New York City and their various romantic exploits.

We all know what the red flag means: it is when when someone has a major character flaw or personality trait that should be considered a warning sign in any potential romantic partner.

Well, looks like How I Met Your Mother had plenty of those.

One of the most notable red flag characters on the show is Stella Zinman, Ted's ex-fiancée. Stella appears in the third season of the HIMYM and is portrayed as a successful dermatologist.

However, she also has a history of making impulsive decisions, such as treating her husband for Mosby after only a few dates.

She also shows a tendency to put her own needs ahead of others, ultimately leaving Ted at the altar on their wedding day.

But one character seems to be even worse than Stella. Fans have decided that the prime example of a Red Flag is Claudia, a woman Stuart dates and eventually marries.

She is introduced as someone who seems perfect for Stuart. Claudia is attractive, successful, and shares his interests.

However, as the season progresses, it becomes clear that this woman is not as perfect as she seems. She is controlling and demanding, and repeatedly puts Stuart down.

Claudia also has a habit of manipulating him into doing things he doesn't want to do.

All of these qualities are classic relationship red flags. They suggest that Claudia is not a good long-term partner for Stuart because she is unlikely to treat him well or respect his needs and wants.

However, Stuart is blinded by his love for her and doesn't see these flaws until it's too late. Eventually, the couple's marriage falls apart.

The Red Flag character of Claudia in How I Met Your Mother is a cautionary tale for viewers. She serves as an example of what can go wrong in a relationship if the flaws are ignored.

Lucky us: Stuart has taught us by example what not to do so that we can find our perfect boo!
