Significant others can indeed be a blessing, making life so much easier and happier. However, in the case of these straightforwardly stupid and childish, yet funny partners - this is not always true. Boyfriends who mistake pistachio nut shells for seashells as a gift for a girlfriend, lock their padlock keys together with the padlock or even make a sandwich with the plastic wrapper still on cheese. These anecdotes are only a part of a long list of good-for-nothing partners, that goes from funny to hilarious.
If you can relate to anything on this list, then I'm sorry to break it to you, but you have a boyfriend who's probably an idiot. However, don't despair, as you will see from these funny boyfriend quotes and pictures compiled by Bored Panda, it is not you alone who suffers from a discouraging partner. Someone who suffers from short-time memory loss, bouts of stupidity, selective hearing problems or even slowly turning into a meme. From funny boyfriends who think World War One started on 9/11 to girlfriends bearing dog cookies as gifts for their boyfriends, this collection of epic partner fails will make you realize that there's always somebody dumber than you. Don't forget to vote for the funniest boyfriend memes!

Caught My Girlfriend Eating These "Christmas Cookies". They're Dog Treats
According to the reddit comments on the thread where this picture came from, some are in fact delicious (and curiously, others are bland to humans but still taste good to dogs).

I found my dad eating some beef jerky once. It was near where we kept the dog food in the closet. I thought the picture of a dog on the packaging would have clued him in. When I told him they were for the dog, he paused, and shrugged his shoulders and kept eating.
I had a friend that did the exact same thing. You don't have a sister named Marsha, do you?

Okay, maybe I am just stupid, but they have shapes and colors of Christmas cookies. :/. I'm sure they didn't taste all that good though.
True, but the red and white ones shaped like a bone could have given her a clue

They actually do taste alright, much better than cat food, anyways. Just please please please don't ask me how I know.
cause he doesn't want to kiss someone with dog breath. jk XD

They DO look like yummy cookies, regardless the species you belong to
On a different note, when I lived with my Grandpa, he threw away a bag of bacon snacks because "it was stale." Turns out it was my dog's "Beggin' Strips" bacon flavored dog treats
I don't blame him for throwing it away "stale" or not. Treats like those are nothing but chemicals. Higher quality treats maybe expensive, but it's worth it. And in my defense, I had a dog with food sensitivities & couldn't eat them.

In her defense I have seen cookies sold for people that look like this... minus the dog bones.
They look just like cookies to me. If they weren't labeled, I'd chow down too! (at least until the second bite, lol)
that's an easy mistake to make. they look like sugar cookies. If they didn't taste all that weird there's nothing for her to think twice about
I used to much on Liv-A-Snaps back in the day when they were around. My friends used to try to trick me and put cream cheese on them. I'd bite into one and go... "Mmmmmm... Liv-A-Snaps." Last laugh achieved.
Sadly I once took a bite from a cookie that was on a table in front of a Christmas tree my friends were about to decorate. That said cookie was a Christmas Ornament that had been in her family for three generations. It had been shellacked and preserved after her great great grandmother had baked it over 100 years ago. I thought it was disgusting until later I realized what I had done. My most embarrassing moment ever since. i put the cookie back on the plate with one leg missing. Yep, it was a snowman.
My dog loved them. 8 years later and Grandpa's not around anymore, but that dog sure is! It was a funny moment though. I don't think the packaging has changed. It's got a little cartoon dog on the front. I remember just laughing, explaining to him that he just ate dog treats. His response was his usual, hearty, "HAH!"
I't does sound cute. And the package is the same. My dogs loved them too. Her body didn't. She's break out in pimples and have diarrhea. I should explain, she was a Chinese Created, a hairless dog. And before you all crucify me for having a purebred where we manipulate their genes for looks, my dog was a rescue. And she had leg calves pyrthees(not sure of spelling) She could pass this trait to her pups. Breeding her was not a responsible option, so the breeder have her to me for free. She was a friend of the vet I worked for at the time.
Load More Replies... Some of my dogs treats smell amazing. He has these banana treats that look and smell like banana flavored coconut macaroons and I really want to try one...
They do look like human cookies so I'm not sure that is really that stupid
In the words of JennaMarbles, "If it looks like people food, chances are it tastes like f***in' people food!" Let's hope she's right, in this case.
If she was really drunk, she gets a pass. I've been so drunk before, I thought Scampi tasted like Popcorn chicken.
Am i the only one who noticed the condom just chilling on the counter?
The only ones that don't look like "human" cookies are the bone shaped ones.., anyone not paying attention could have eaten one.., they couldn't have been that bad Lol 😂
Granted, the little bones should have been a giveaway, but they really do look like Christmas cookies.
Many years ago they made these dog treats that were called "People Crackers." They came in a little box with a handle like animal crackers and were shaped like mailmen and other humans. They were sitting on the table in our den and my grandfather picked them up and started eating them. Our dog was staring at him, looking confused, and he said, "These cookies are stale."
I love the dried duck breast. I eat this always with my dog :) 1350_2-58e...68664b.jpg 
I must say, when the hike takes longer than planned, and you are desperate enough to try one, you will find they are ok. There 's no salt in them so you will stop when you're not hungry anymore, which is only healty...
I worked at a kennel where we had dog cookies shapes like bones in a glass cake dish. It happened every day, even though it bore a sign that said 1.99 dog cookies, people assumed they were free human cookies.

Wow...many of them are quite hillarious, but the lack of education is also quite frightening. No wonder so many people fall for fake news, astrology, esoteric therapies, homoeopathy etc.
To instantly dismiss something because it counters with your worldview is also ignorant in my opinion.

I had a guy who was looking at the chicken breast I made for dinner. I asked what was the problem. He said he was just wondering about how chickens can breastfeed the chicks. Then the penny dropped..... Yeah. Another guy, I swear I don't always look for the dumbest ones. So this guy was squeamish about blood and internal stuff. So I did an "autopsy" on a chicken. In my country only the bowls were removed rest of the organs left in for gizzards and such. So, I did a regular Y incision on the chicken, opened it up like doing an autopsy, pointing out the organs. Showed him the stomach and told him how that worked in birds, the liver and the lungs. He looked at me and told me that birds have no lungs. I looked at him like WTF????? I told him yes they do, how else would they breathe, with gills????? He said no, the birds have air pockets in their wings, that's how they breathe......

I had no friggin clue what a Mars bar slice was..I had to look it up.

My son brought his then time girl friend to meet the family, we all lived rural, she was a townie.

Most of these are people just doing things for the first time and the asshats nearby with a camera. More often it's the photographer being the idiot knowing only slightly more than the person they are making fun of.
My husband and I are both enigmas... We can go for hours having conversations about Tardigrades, ethics, scientific news, etc... The same man who thought he could bleach a nosebleed off of blue jeans... The same wife who was certain a cougar was trying to break into the house (in the country) and eat the cat... It was a chicken.
A former GF argued vehemently that the sun was THE SUN and not a star, also that EARTH was different from a planet. I asked why and she said people have not got there yet so they can't be like earth with 'trees and rivers and things'. She was very pretty, so it lasted a bit longer.

When the photos from the Hubble telescope were first made public, I excitedly showed my wife. She began to cry. She genuinely believed that all the galaxies were lined up together side by side in little squares. It also upset her that I could not point out Libra.

No joke, I get #65. I've never been afraid of heights, but had a full-blown panic attack on the London Eye. My mom thought it was hilarious. I thought our class coffin pod was going to detach and we were going to plummet to our death.
The 1st on about the cat. The guy wasn't ab udiot just misunderstood and she was shallow and heartless to bring up presents infront of her parents maybe he didnt have much to give. The old saying in true "it's the thought that counts"
once a girl i've beed seeing and for some reason i connected my smarphone to the tv and she touched the icon on tv beacuse she thought it became a touch screen tv. it didnt last much longer
Knew someone who drove around the whole winter (mid-west) with the heater off to "save gas".
I would not say that lack of education and dumbness are the same thing. And a lack of education on own choice, i.e. due to laziness or ignorance is an invitation to be ridiculed!
