14 People Who Were Brutally Owned By Their Own Screenshots

With great power comes great responsibility—a phrase most of us could benefit from keeping in mind when it comes to technology. Our smartphones are extremely capable devices, almost to an unnerving extent.

With this capability also comes the almighty screenshot. See a funny meme you want to share later? Screenshot. Received an unsolicited pic that calls for group chat mockery? Screenshot. Conversation with a significant other that requires bff consultation? Screenshot.

It’s an incredibly useful tool, but one that should never ever be underestimated. Just take it from these unfortunate souls who were brutally owned by their very own screenshots.
