Jimmy goes so far as to stalk her and even jokes about this, though it's more concerning than it is funny. Jimmy practically inserts himself into the Gallagher family despite being asked to stay away multiple times. He brings his problems into the family, and in turn, drags the Gallaghers into his risky life.
Though Lip is a minor and Jimmy knows he has college prospects, he still offers him an illegal "job" stealing cars. This is a highly irresponsible thing to do, and even worse, he defends his decision to Fiona later.
He doesn't express remorse even after Lip and Ian are caught by the cops and insists that his way of life is more fun. In the second episode of the series, Jimmy decides that he's had enough of Frank.
He makes an executive decision for the Gallaghers without consulting any of them, and he stows Frank into the boot of his car and drives him over the border.
Frank awakes in Canada, while his children fear that he's frozen to death on the streets somewhere. When Fiona realizes that Jimmy kidnapped him, Jimmy defends his actions and doesn't once apologize. Frank may be a terrible person , but nobody deserves to be smuggled into another country against their will, and it isn't Jimmy's decision to make.
It's a thoughtless thing to do, and it means that Fiona never really trusts him again. Kidnapping Frank may be the worst thing Jimmy does, but stealing cars is one thing Jimmy does that that doesn't have any justification. When it comes to Frank, viewers can understand why Jimmy wants him gone.
But in terms of his career, there's no excuse for choosing the dangerous life he leads. He tells Fiona that he didn't want to live the life his parents had planned for him, but that doesn't mean he has to do something illegal and irresponsible instead. He drags Lip into his shady business under the pretext of trying to help the Gallaghers financially, then brags to Fiona about how adventurous his life is, but he could find any number of other things to do for a living, something that doesn't harm other people, and something that isn't illegal.
