The other day, while wasting time on social media, I came across a reel that made me laugh (but also reflect): a girl, while traveling, joked about compulsively opening her purse to check if her passport was still there. Let's face it: we all do it; besides. there is nothing worse than forgetting or misplacing something during a vacation.
The sketch of the "forgetful" passenger
In spite of what one might think, however, documents and wallets are not the most forgotten items on an airplane: given their fundamental importance, passengers-who may be distracted, yes, but no fools-keep them more carefully.
Vueling, the Spanish low-cost airline of the IAG group, through a survey of a sample of 1,000 Italians, unveiled the sketch of the forgetful traveler and also identified The items that are most frequently forgotten aboard aircraft. The most "distracted" passengers, according to the survey, are. men (62,5%), come from the South (38.9%, compared with 38.2% who come from the North) and are aged between between 25 and 35 years old (the 29.9%).
The most forgotten items
If I close my eyes, I can clearly see the faces of flight attendants on the floor, between the seats or inside the overhead bins finding anything and everything. Headphones, books, magazines and sunglasses are the items are most frequently forgotten, evergreens in short.
Sometimes, however, passengers get over themselves and forget even far more bizarre things: for example, a ukulele (the classic small, easy-to-forget object, right?), or a thought-provoker or, even, a sculpture of a gazelle to be given as a souvenir (a very heartfelt gift, evidently).
There are, however, those who manage to do better: some have even managed to forget theengagement ring. "Misguided thinking is a sin but often a mistake," as the saying goes, but in this one more than an oversight it seems that this someone voluntarily left it on the plane, perhaps after an unsuccessful proposal...
In conclusion
Does it surprise you that someone takes a ukulele on a plane and even forgets it? It must not: you need only consider, for example, that according to a similar survey conducted for the cab industry, the most unusual items lost inside white cars include a inflatable pool, a'ultrasonography of a child and a neurological gavel. In short, I feel like saying: it's a good thing we have our heads attached to our necks; otherwise we would lose that as well....
