These Are the Most Bizarre ‘Things' People Leave in Ubers – NBC New York
You know what they say about Mercury retrograde (oh wait, you don’t? here). And Uber’s 2023 Lost & Found index suggests more than a few of us are feeling it.
Clothing, phones, keys and wallets topped the list of most commonly forgotten items once again, but as always, riders leave their unique — and sometimes starkly unusual — talismans behind, too. Uber saw people forget everything from a fog machine to an ankle monitor and a Danny Devito Christmas ornament in this year’s index. Yeah.
Those feature among the 10 weirdest things left in Ubers, a list that also includes: MY DOG IS IN THE CAR!!! A toy poodle (2); Blue cap that says ‘i love the smell of jet fuel in the morning’ (3); Some bowling rags (5); My unicycle (7); 16 oz. of fake blood (8); a printer and remote-controlled vibrator (9); and a pin with Jesus holding a slice of pizza (10).
Still bizarre but not making Uber’s top 10: 2 fingernails, 6 cheesecakes, My happy sauce, an important pregnancy test, self-respect, mostly, and … OK. Here are all 50 for those interested.
Notably, New York City does not feature in Uber’s latest 10 most “forgetful” cities list. It didn’t last year either, though French folks apparently like to ditch our hats. Neither did New Jersey. But Texas is represented twice in the top five.
Here are some of the top Lost & Found trends Uber saw this year:
ICYMI: Here are the weirdest things left in 2022. And here’s what to do if you left your “valuables” behind.
