We\u2019ve\nall done it. Forgotten something important or of value in a cab, a plane, or\nindeed an Uber. We\u2019re also no stranger to the sinking feeling we go through in\nthat moment of realization. And while it is fantastically easy to get your lost\nitems back from your Uber, this year\u2019s Lost & Found Index highlights some\nof the most absent minded riders in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Providing\na glimpse into what our riders most commonly forget, the index also lists some\nof the more surprising items they tend to leave behind inadvertently. It also\nidentifies the most forgetful cities, as well as the day of the week when\nriders are at their forgetful best, or worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per this index for MENAP region (Middle East, North Africa & Pakistan), on June 1 2018 forgetfulness was at its peak in Pakistan \u2013 riders throughout the country forgot the most items on this day in their Ubers. Pakistan follows trends of the rest of the region with backpacks being the most forgotten item, followed by mobile phones.
However, the best news coming out of this index is the fact that none of Pakistan\u2019s cities make the top 5 in the \u2018Top 10 Most Forgetful Cities\u2019 list; Riyadh takes the top slot, followed closely by Cairo and Jeddah with Dubai placed at number five and Lahore at number six. \u00a0Karachi and Islamabad come in at 8 and 9, respectively.\u00a0
As for the days and times we seem to be most forgetful these tend to be towards the end of the week, as on Thursdays and Saturdays, between 1300 Hrs and 1500 Hrs our absent mindedness peaks. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When\nit comes to unique items forgotten in Ubers across the MENAP region, Pakistan\ncertainly takes the prize, as one rider forgot a cat, while another forgot\ntheir denture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With\nMercury falling into retrograde, over the past year we\u2019ve seen our riders\nforget backpacks, phones, cameras and even jewelry! But the good news is that\nit is very easy to get back your forgotten items through the Uber app by simply\ntapping \u201cYour Trips\u201d and selecting the trip where you left something behind, then\ntapping \u201cI lost an item\u201d, following which you can contact the driver to get\nyour prized possessions back.
