24 Boyfriends Who Shouldn't Be Left Unsupervised

Nobody's perfect, and anyone who's ever been in a relationship can tell you that firsthand.

Of course, most partners mean well. But some require a little extra supervision, and in certain cases — like when it comes to makeup or shopping — they need 24-hour surveillance.

1. So, you want us to hang these cookie cutters on the Christmas tree, or...?

Twitter | @lesbianmagician

This is kind of adorable. He tried, folks. He really tried.

They should use them as decorations and make fun of him every Christmas for this mistake.

2. Never, ever trust your boyfriend with your makeup bag.

Twitter | @MeganD_B

Few men understand the value of makeup. In this case, he probably didn't realize that he was carrying hundreds of dollars worth of fragile goods.

Better to just not let him anywhere near it.

3. Was there a drought or something?

Twitter | @daniellemusengo

How many bottles of micellar water have you seen that could be confused with soda or flavored water? None, that's how many.

At least he'll get a full-body cleanse out of this.

JK, he's about to feel very sick.

4. One job. Put the groceries away. That's all.

Twitter | @miss_v_hastings

Yes, well, I supposed some people do prefer their paper towel chilled. Anyway, he did technically put the groceries away.

Just, you know, nowhere near where they're supposed to go.

5. Here's a man trying to estimate his girlfriend's clothing size by feeling up a mannequin...

Twitter | @StieferJessica

...and subsequently creeping everyone out in the store.

But hey, the effort is there, so props to that. My boyfriend wouldn't put in this much effort.

6. If you ask your man to buy makeup for you, prepare to have your phone blown up like this.

Twitter | @menaigotclass

To be fair, there are a lot of details involved in purchasing makeup. He's got the right idea, though. Buy one of everything, just to be safe.

7. When he forgets to mail the Christmas cards.

Instagram | @apocalyptic_alice

Well, Christmas is ruined.

Actually, he looks really sorry about it. Let's give him a break and repurpose these ones for next year.

8. When he finally tries to make his own sandwich.

Instagram | @meighan

And all his "make me a sandwich" jokes come hurtling back in the form of some sweet, sweet karma.

That's what you get.

9. What 50% effort looks like when opening packages.

Twitter | @mercuryinmay

Really? You have to be supervised when opening a jar of peanut butter, now?

Have to give him credit, though. The laziness here is unmatched.

10. When he offers to go grocery shopping alone but even he knows it's a bad idea.

Twitter | @courttgibbz

Especially when he's going to Costco.

You have to respect a person who understands their own shortcomings.

11. Thanks for doing this dishes, honey!

Instagram | @stephenotters

We already have a sponge. We don't need a second one made out of soggy, waterlogged pancakes.

Also, that dishwater is at an anxiety-inducing level.

12. Ten minutes in and all you could think of is ramen?

Twitter | @AlexiaBritney

What is this, college?

You're at Wal-Mart, remember? The prices are so low that nothing you put in that cart could be a mistake.

13. If he's willing to go nail polish shopping for you, marry him. 

Twitter | @hattycolledge

Unfortunately, most men don't realize the hundreds of subtle variations in color that interfere with picking out the right nail polish for your girl.

14. Sooooo...he's taking you to Sephora now, right?

Twitter | @dante_lioncourt

Why are people allowing their boyfriends near their makeup?! They can't be trusted!

Put caution tape around your whole makeup vanity whenever they're around.

15. In other words, never let him buy makeup for you.

Twitter | @LindseyInnes

If he can honestly stand in front of these shelves and say everything is the same, then he definitely cannot be trusted picking up anything for you in the future.

16. In this very moment, she learned that her boyfriend does not know what an electric candle is.

Instagram | @denise_michelle.91

And somehow, in some way, he was able to light the plastic flame on fire without realizing that it was indeed not a regular candle.

Amazing.

17. It’s the thought that counts.

Twitter | @RosieKnight87

Then again, there seems to have been at least one thought lacking. You know, the one about how chocolate melts under hot temperatures.

Regardless, it’s still edible, OK? When it comes to chocolate, that’s all that matters.

18. This is why I make my own snacks.

Twitter | @EmilyAskewVlogs

It’s also why I make my boyfriend's snacks — I’m 99% sure he would do the same thing.

Yeah, you’re right. It’s probably about time we teach our boyfriends how to cut fruit.

19. Whatever happened, the important thing is that he’s OK.

Twitter | @any_beth98

And once you have established that, you can then show him the part of the bill that your insurance doesn’t cover.

20. Nothing says “thoughtful” quite like a BOGO stadium tour.

Twitter | @KellyLeanneJ

If she’s really into baseball, then it might be cool.

But the “apparently” in the phrase, “Apparently this is my Valentine’s gift,” screams otherwise.

21. He has many talents, but baking is not one of them.

Instagram | @keljolene

The kitchen is likely the place that requires the most supervision.

But would I still eat these bad boys? You betcha.

22. These plants never stood a chance, did they?

Instagram | @lianamariehunt

You boyfriend doesn’t have to be a botanist to care for your plants while you’re away.

He does require daily text reminders, however.

23. Well, that’s what you get for sending your boyfriend shoe shopping.

Twitter | @caryedwards

It was a very optimistic idea to begin with.

But to be fair, those “sheep shoes” do look super cozy.

24. Of course, you could always going shopping with your boyfriend.

Twitter | @rielpeers

But, uh, there will probably be some level of supervision required in that, as well.
