Vote up the worst things the Doctor has ever done on Doctor Who.
The Doctor is a character who is constantly changing. With every new incarnation of the character, you get a new face, new clothes, and a new personality. But sometimes that personality isn't so good. In fact, for a guy who's all about helping people, there are times the Doctor is a complete jerk. The worst things the Doctor has done aren't very grand, but they're definitely destructive to the people around him. On a bad day, he doesn't go around destroying civilizations: he shatters the lives of everyone he cares about.
Really, the brand of d*ckishness depends on the Doctor. Ten could be righteous and absent-minded, Seven was a Machiavellian schemer, Twelve could be pretty darn insensitive, Eleven was kind of a sociopath, and Six was... well, we'll get to that.
Sure, at the end of the day he saves more people than he hurts, but there are still times examples of the Doctor being a d*ck. Need evidence? Check out these instances of the Doctor being a jerk on Doctor Who and vote up the most messed up things the Doctor has done.
Poor Colin Baker. There's very little love for Six out there and for good reason. The writers decided to make him into, well, a really mean guy. In fact, one of the first things he does is strangle the hell out of his companion Peri. Why, you might ask? Post-regeneration confusion. And people wonder why the ratings dropped...
By the end of the Tenth Doctor's life, he was a broken man. He'd lost too many friends and suffered too many defeats. So when he came up against a fixed point in time where everyone on a Martian colony was going to die, he decided to throw the rules out the window and save them all, even if it meant destroying the course of human history.
Just when he thinks he's become a God, one of the"little people" he saved proves him wrong by committing suicide to right the timeline. Yeesh.

That Time the Doctor Ditched Sarah Jane Smith for Decades
The Fourth Doctor gets a summons from Gallifrey, then decides to leave his companion Sarah Jane at the side of the road in 1976. He doesn't see her again until 2007, and she's pretty miffed he never contacted her. Sheesh, the least he could have done was send her a post card.

That Time Seven Emotionally Tortured His Companion
While he didn't strangle his companion Ace, the Seventh Doctor did find other ways to torment her. In the episode "Ghost Light," he forces Ace to return to a haunted house where she experienced childhood trauma. Why? Because the Doctor's curious about what happened. Real smooth there, buddy.
The moon is an egg and it's hatching. What's inside could be something wonderful or terrible. The fate of the world, and the human race, is at stake. So, what does the Twelfth Doctor do?
He ditches everyone and leaves them to their own devices.Why? Because apparently, it's their decision, despite the fact he knows exactly what the best course of action is. That doesn't sound very Doctor-like. In fact, it's so mean-spirited Clara tells him to leave and never come back. Honestly, who can blame her?

That Time the First Doctor Kidnapped His Companions
There are plenty of people who think the older Doctors were kind old men, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. The First Doctor especially had a real mean streak to him, like that grandparent you never want to visit but always had to see around the holidays. As you can see in the clip above, the Doctor berates and even kidnaps his companions when they refuse to time travel with him.
