The Top 9 weirdest Things Left Onboard An Aircraft by Passengers

All passengers are responsible for ensuring that they do not leave any item behind when disembarking from the aircraft…useful, useless or irritating items...and of course if you listen to in-flight announcements you wouldn’t leave any item behind, however as we all know , no matter how many public announcements we do, people still manage to leave behind their prized, over-prized, and sometimes very weird and strange possessions on board.  I’m not just talking about items like mobile phones, ipads, car keys, credit cards, books or even  international passports, but items like Viagra, used condoms (I’m not joking) are just to mention but a few.  Please don’t ask me why they come onboard with some of these things because I am also wondering why.

all items are intact, yes i mean your wedding ring, viagra etc

So I decided to talk to my fellow cabin crew, and you will be amazed at the results.

Enjoy!!!

Warning: you may need to suspend reading this if you are eating. Yea!!! I mean it.

9) BAGGAGE:  the fuss passengers make on board the aircraft just to bring in their luggage, stow their luggage, fight with another passenger for putting a bag on their suit case or laptops, or fight with the crew for suggesting they check the bag in, they grumble if you ask them to put it under the seats. Sincerely, the issue with bags are endless and it’s usually a major source of headache for cabin crew. So it’s usually surprising at the end of the flight to find these same passengers strolling of the aircraft leaving their bags behind. At the end of a flight, I had 3 bags left behind.

its not my job to stow your BIG bags sir!!!

8) FOOD: yea! I’m not talking about cookies and the rest, but stew, soup….Well prepared delicacies and some not-so-well-prepared-really-smelly-stuff, makes me wonder what they put in it, maybe dead rats. Why would someone go through the stress of preparing a meal, and forget it on board? Common! Be creative!

is that smell from your food?

7) MONEY: real money!!! Not chicken change but millions. If I have that kind of money I wouldn’t even blink an eyelid talk less of leaving it behind on an airplane. The most annoying part is they come back for it, and make you count every penny of it, to make sure it’s complete. As if the torture of seeing the money and knowing that someone can actually forget that amount of money is not enough…. They make the cabin crew count it….. some people just want to watch the world burn.

can i have some plz?

6) USED CONDOMS:  are you thinking what I’m thinking? Lol… well this was found on the last row of seat by a colleague. Don’t ask me when or how it was used…   dear Mr. /Mrs. on-board-condom-user, please do us the honour of disposing “your” waste properly. I mean what the hell are we supposed to do with your used condom? Cook soup with it? Ewwww…. The torture you go through as a cabin crew…..phewwww….

plz remember to take with you all your "personal items" including this.

5) WEDDING RING: you are a married man; you’re relieved to be getting away from the wife and kids for a few days. After all, she’s getting fatter by the day… is she really? Or so you claim? And suddenly you notice the beautiful young lady sitting down next to you. You start winking, chatting, and flirting. Then, you realise you still have your wedding ring on and she’s not wearing one. It comes off and you slip it into your seat pocket and as you leave the plane the ring stays behind. I have a feeling that  people like this are actually the ones who leave the used condoms behind!  Good-luck trying to explain to wifey how you misplaced your ring.

let her have some peace, and while u r at it, put your ring back on

4) SEX TOYS: aha! Cabin crew have seen it all. Viagra pills, handcuffs, dildos; black and huge, pink and with lubricant half used…. One would think no one would ever have the guts to come back to claim a forgotten sex toy: sorry to burst your bubbles…..a man actually came back to get the pink dildo and used lubricant…. Emmm…ok… let’s just say he came back to get it for his female friend’, who was probably too shy and embarrassed to come back….end of story. “clearsthroat”.

....or just take it with you

3) BODILY FLUIDS:  this one is super irritating and disgusting. How do you explain saliva in a bottle or nylon bag, piss in a bottle, catarrh, dirty diapers, soiled sanitary towels, vomits, etc .  The worst part is they leave all these disgusting items in the seat pocket or lying around in the cabin. For crying out loud there is a toilet in the aircraft…. It’s totally FREE to use… you don’t have to pay a dime. I wonder what will happen when airlines start charging to use the toilet. Not only are these irritating they are also health hazard to crew who clean the aircraft and also crew who conduct security check on the aircraft. This is another reason why gloves are a must for every cabin crew.

plz don"t put that in the seat pocket, thanks for your understanding.

2)SACRIFICE/JUJU/JAZZ: emmmm… I don’t know how to explain this, a colleague was doing her security checks after disembarking all passengers, saw an unclaimed bag, called in security , the bag was opened and behold; a calabash with palm oil and amala inside of it. (I kid you not)… everyone had to take a step back…lol… fear of the unknown. But trust me no one came back to claim it.

if you think im going to touch that, then you better think again.

1) CHILDREN!!!:

Oh yes, this will always and forever top the chart of the craziest and weirdest things people leave on board. How can you forget your child on board???  A human being??? Sincerely mothers really need to pay attention to their kids. 

A family of 5 disembarked from the airplane leaving the last child behind, I found the child when I was doing  my security checks, soundly asleep. The most annoying part of this story is that it took the airline rep we called to stop the family to ask them if they had forgotten anything on board, it was only then they remembered the baby of the house… but as usual they tried to blame it on the crew.

identification please?

Ok so now you know. The top 9 nine random things passengers leave on board….. Distinguished ladies and gentlemen please, please and please on behalf of all cabin crew, always remember to take “all your personal items” with you when disembarking, that is; if you don’t want the crew going through your phones and ipads laughing at all your naughty pictures….. Yea! We have seen a lot of really naughty pictures. Don’t come onboard and scatter your stuff all over the place as if you are in your bedroom. Aint nobody gat the time to clean up your mess. You Have Been WARNED!

And once again hope you enjoyed your flight, looking forward to welcoming you on board our future flight. Thank you for flying Angel Air.
