Accidentally dropping your phone on the ground can be the sign of a great or a terrible night depending on your point of view. When one chap dropped his phone mid-video in a nightclub, he inadvertently captured a pretty brilliant scene.

David Risager tweeted his wacky video after his phone fell to the ground in the middle of the dance floor on a night out in Dubai, UAE.

At first, we're treated to a series of flashing lights. Then, when the phone lands on the floor, we see legs moving, arms flailing and people dancing.

But, then, out of nowhere appears a face. It's David and he's fighting to make his way through the crowd. He grabs his phone and the video ends abruptly.

David's gift to the universe in video form attracted hundreds of thousands of retweets and likes. And, many found aspects of the video highly relatable.

Some thought David's facial expression was a metaphor for their trajectory in life.
