What the hail!

Uber revealed the most unusual items forgotten in rideshares last year, which ranged from a urinal to 10 live lobsters. The company identified the Big Apple as the city with the highest forgetfulness rate on Tuesday.

The rideshare company revealed the wacky list at a pop-up event in Manhattan, where it also gave away some of the forgotten items, including headphones and umbrellas.

It also handed out Shake Shack burgers, inspired by a real report of 175 burgers being left behind in a vehicle.

“I have actually always been really curious about [what people leave in Ubers], so I knew I had to come check this out – and it didn’t disappoint,” said Sara Sparkles, 41, of Bushwick.

“I’ve never left anything in an Uber, but I left my favorite sweater in a taxi one time and I was so bummed.” 

Some of the other zany items absent-minded passengers left behind in 2024 included Ozempic, a divorce agreement, a Viking drinking horn, breast milk, a pet turtle and a chainsaw.

The most common possessions left in the back of vehicles, however, were keys, wallets and phones — with a whopping 1.7 million iPhones and Androids stranded in Uber rides last year.

Other common items were vapes, passports, luggage, glasses and clothing.

“The divorce agreement is so silly and hilarious, and the Ozempic – I am obsessed with it,” said Julian Joseph, 23, of the Upper West Side.

“It’s so funny. And the lobster and the wig with the headphones … that is just so random,” she added.

“Seeing all of this just makes me want to take Ubers more – maybe I will find something interesting from someone else.”

The most forgetful day of the year was Oct. 26, which was the Saturday of Halloween weekend, Uber revealed.

Philadelphia Eagles supporters were also extremely forgetful last year, with Eagles gear being the most common sports merchandise left in the backseat.

The free event also instructed riders on how to find their lost items in the future by using the Uber app.

“I like the Ozempic, and I want it – gimme, gimme! I would be so happy if I found that,” said Edgar Lopez, 33, visiting from Mexico with his wife.

“Somebody left their divorce papers? That actually seems perfect to me – it just shows that it’s really over, you know?” he added.

“That’s kind of beautiful.”
