Oops – customer "forgot" 175 burgers in a taxi

The ride-hailing service Uber is now revealing what its drivers have noticed over time that customers have forgotten in their taxis. Among other things, 175 burgers.

Uber is now revealing last year's most bizarre forgotten items. Passengers left behind everything from fake breasts to 175 burgers, while the phone is still the top scorer.

Incredible things are forgotten in Uber taxis every year. Passengers often leave their belongings behind. Now Uber is revealing the list of forgotten items, from Ozempic to 10 live lobsters.

The list of forgotten items is long and surprising. Some forget Viking drinking horns. Others leave fake breasts in the back seat.

This is shown by a report from the ride-hailing service Uber. Their drivers find many different objects. Some are more bizarre than others.

The company writes this in a press release.

A hungry passenger forgot 175 hamburgers in a car. Another left behind ten live lobsters. It must have been a special trip.

Uber has just published its annual list, which shows the many strange discoveries made by its drivers.

Top 10: The most common forgotten items in an Uber

Camiel Irving, VP at Uber, says, “From lost mannequin heads to live lobsters, Uber customers have left behind some truly unforgettable things this year.”

However, it's not just strange things that are forgotten. The phone is the most common forgotten item. A whopping 1.7 million mobile phones were forgotten. That's a huge number of forgotten phones.

Wallets and keys follow right after the phone. Luggage and headphones are also often forgotten.

Glasses, clothes and passports are often found in cars. Water bottles are also often forgotten by passengers.

A new item on the top ten list is vapes. More and more people are forgetting their e-cigarettes in Uber cars.

Unique finds and popular game consoles forgotten

Uber is also noticing other trends. People are increasingly forgetting divorce papers. It's a sad development.

Game consoles are also popular to forget. The Nintendo Switch in particular is often forgotten. Drivers found at least 70 consoles last year. That's a lot of consoles to leave behind.

Uber is trying to return the forgotten items. They are doing their best to find the owners again.

Passengers in New York are more likely to forget things, according to Uber data from different cities.

Other unique finds include a mannequin head with real hair. A chainsaw was also found in a back seat. Even a unicycle was left behind.

The list continues with even more special cases. A witch's broom, an aquarium and 15 hookahs have been found. Someone even forgot an amethyst crystal.

Other items found were a sign that read "it's a Philly thing." Fake chickens and a sculpture were also found. A DJ mixer was also left in an Uber.

Forgotten things in cars are one thing. The cars themselves and the transportation and the automotive industry are another. Things and cases take place here that are much more expensive than 175 users.

For example, what do you think the firing of Stellantis' CEO cost last December? Find the answer right here .
