I think they were supposed to be annoying or possibly neurotic. Seinfeld kills Friends IMO in just about every department I can think of. I recall when Friends started many pundits dubbed Friends a poor mans Seinfeld.

Which is why I preferred Friends, I stayed watching because I loved the characters in it, if I don't like any of the characters in a show, I'll just lose interest (and my humour is clearly more low brow and less intelligent )

Fair point. So did you not watch all of Seinfeld cuz there are some episodes that are truly inspired.

No I didn't, that's what I was saying, I just could never warm to any of the characters enough to keep me coming back or really get into it

I agree with this. Even Larry David says he cannot watch some of the very early episodes. They are quite difficult to watch but it was the style that kept me interested. Particularly when they were still bookending each episode with snippets of Seinfeld stand up.

For me it was missing the charm that Friends had
