We've all been in the horrific situation where our trusty sidekick a.k.a. smartphone disappears. The moment we figure out that it's gone, a hasty search begins and nothing else really matter until our faithful amigo is back in our pocket. If you are lucky enough, it turns out that you've just left it unattended somewhere in your house and if you are less fortunate, the comrade might be brought back to you by police. In the case where you get it back, you'd probably want to make sure if it still works, if nobody had made any weird calls or have sent suspicious text messages and lastly, you'd probably check your photo gallery. Upon checking it, you might just get shocked, as it turns out your crony has been on ridiculous adventures, with some hilarious pictures as proof.
Now, no matter if you got separated from your smartphone by having one too many drinks or just plain clumsiness, your valuable piece of lost and found might end up in some smartasses hands, who decided to have a little fun with it.
We here at Bored Panda had compiled a list of times when people (or animals) took the perfect prank shot on somebody else's phone. From funny selfies (including cat selfies) to unexpected reminders of crazy nights out, this list filled with funny photos is sure to put a smile on your dial! Scroll down below to check the funny pictures out for yourself!

Lara B. 7 years ago
You see the metal pop-out thing behind the tires? The truck is supportet by that. When it would only stand on the tires, it would fall over because of the weight of the extended ledder.
