I'm not sure if Rose being a shop girl/not too smart is the main thing that bothers people about the character even, but it is brought up so often as a good reason to bash a character they dislike. And so many peple puzzling over why Rose would be considered anything special when she's only a shop girl
And yeah the Doctor was definitely rude in that reference from TSC, I won't deny that. I'd say that he and Martha were still feeling one another out at that point, and it wasn't until say Gridlock (when Martha was kidnapped) when he realised how much she had come to mean to him. In The Lazarus Experiment it was already a case of the Doctor protesting to much, as he was quite happy to meet her family in that episode, and admits at the end that she was always going to be with him for more than the one trip
Also, his decision to hide in 1913 was piss-poor
I think that was the Tardis that located them there though?
