Unusual Items Left in Rideshare Vehicles
Rideshare vehicles often become temporary storage spaces for passengers, leading to some surprising and unusual items being left behind. Here are some of the most unexpected finds on @X by both drivers and riders:
👩 Live Humans — Some drivers say they never want their ride to end. However, this is a little extreme—the next passenger discovered the previous rider still sleeping in the backseat! Talk about an unexpected twist!
👶 Another Human — Some drivers need to do a better job of checking their backseat after each and every ride! But how do you lose your child?
🙀 Live Pets — Some drivers have found small animals like hamsters or even reptiles left in carriers, often forgotten amidst the rush. But this story takes the cake! A passenger lost his pet cat because the Lyft driver drove off with the cat still in the car!
🤔 Red Carpet Treatment — This one is a head-scratcher because some items just too weird not to notice being left behind. And this rideshare passenger forgot her rug in the Uber! I guess she really wanted to “roll out” the welcome mat for the next rider!
🤑 Cash Money — SERIOUSLY! How do you leave $4k in an Uber? That’s a wild ride! And talk about a potential costly oversight—but that driver earned that tip! and shoutout to the passenger for leaving an AMAZING TIP!
🤯 More Lost Cash — Another passenger leaving cash behind in an Uber. This time it was $3k and the nice driver returned it. How do people mismanage their cash like this? I would have this money tapped to my extremities!
☕ Drink Tumblers — Imagine spending $40 on a nice stainless-steel tumbler only to then leave it in an Uber! Depending on its color, my coffee mug collection would have gotten an upgrade!
💻 High-End Electronics — Items like laptops, tablets, and even gaming consoles have been left in the backseat, often leading to frantic searches by their owners. And this passenger left her trifecta in an Uber! However, she doesn’t appear grateful that the driver took time out of their busy shift to return her lost items. Hopefully she tipped the driver!
🛰 Track You Down — Remember drivers, passengers can track their lost electonic items. So, make sure you scan your vehicle before returning home and drop off any electronics at your local police station. You don’t want any unexpected visitors to you abode.
📱 Brand New Phone — One of the most, if not the most, item left in a rideshare vehicle by passengers are cellphones. Some passengers like to get comfy and put down their phone, easily leaving it behind when exiting the rideshare vehicle. But thankfully there are still good people out there!
😎 Expensive Sunglasses — You can’t be without your shades on a sunny day! And this Uber driver went above and beyond making sure this dude got his shades back! Again—there are still plenty of good people out there, especially rideshare drivers!
🤓 Prescription Glasses — Those that depend heavily on their prescription glasses to see out there in the world might want to consider leaving them on their face when inside an Uber. So, it’s going to be a rough week ahead for this person without them. Time to embrace their inner “squinting champion!”
🌮 Food Items — Leftovers from a night of dinging out are commonly left by passengers. And this woman just realized that she left her tacos in the Uber. I am sure that their driver didn’t mind a quick snack—especially if it’s Taco Tuesday! Talk about a tasty twist to their shift!
✈ Travel Bag — Ouch! 9 hours in the airport without any entertainment sounds like torture! Do they still have those old-school newsstands in airports? Because she might need a stack of magazines to survive the next several hours of boredom!
🔥 Finders Keepers — One man’s trash is another man’s treasure! Guess he’s now ready to light up his night!
🤞 Leaving Work Behind — Loosing work property in an Uber has its pros and cons. Best case scenario—that’s wat I can an early weekend! Worst case scenario—that’s what I call future unemployment. Keeping my fingers crossed that it was the former!
📶 Wireless Belongings — I’m not quite sure I fully understand if you can lose that or not?
🐛 I Got Worms — So many questions! I wonder if the next passenger or driver found this. And what did they do with it? Start a new pet collection? A creepy science experiment? Or maybe opened up a new bug-themed restaurant? Just another ride in the world of rideshare!
These forgotten items not only provide a glimpse into the lives of passengers but also add an element of surprise to the rideshare experience. Drivers often have amusing stories to share about their most unusual finds! And passenger often are left in anguish when their items are forever lost!
