Leaving something behind in an Uber has become a ‘fun fear’ for many of us – The triple pat down is ‘A THING!’
If you’ve ever left something behind in an Uber before I hope it wasn’t too personal, because every year they release their annual ‘Lost & Found Index’ which highlights some of the most bizarre and mundane items passengers have left behind.
According to Uber, Perth takes the crown as the most forgetful city; and a gold start goes to our Gold Coast-fairing Brisbane folk for being the least forgetful of the Aussie cities.
If you’re interested, the most forgetful day on the ‘Aussie Calendar’ is December 11, peak Christmas & silly season party time – GO figure.
Over the years there have been some WHACK items left behind, ‘from a prosthetic eye and a sewing machine to a sentimental metal straw and a leaf blower.’
But the top 15 List of The Strangest Items left Behind in an Uber of 2022 have been revealed;
- An adult toy
- A leaf blower
- Photo of a koala
- A very important blonde wig
- Betty’s burgers buns
- Spider-Man costume
- Electric scooter
- Dyson vacuum head attachment
- A breath testing device
- Gucci belt
- Part of a turn table
- Retainer
- A sewing machine
- A brand new 65 inch TV
- A kettle and toaster
I feel sorry for the guy who left behind the TV…
