According to a list prepared by the online travel agency Muchoviaje, the most recurrent forgetfulness when packing is produced with things that are not very visible when we wander around the house. The first place is occupied by the toothbrush , perhaps because it is not usually in the toiletry bag, the cleaning object that we have the most when packing.
The pajamas would take second place , since they are often in a drawer that we do not open or under the pillow. It is followed by the mobile charger, often forgotten in the home socket. And then the sunglasses, because they have remained in the daily bag or on the furniture in the hall.
And on the return trip? Also then there are oversights, and they tend to be more serious: the anecdotes range from leaving an alliance forgotten to one of the children – true as life itself -, the manuscript of a novel or false teeth. Although, in general, these are everyday objects: gloves, caps, hats, cosmetics, mobile phones, books, reading glasses, umbrellas, dirty underpants …
Very often, the clothes sent to the laundry are part of those oversights . And also sex toys, which are hidden after use – not precisely in the suitcase – and are rarely required. Something that does not happen when it comes to money, whose claim always brings problems.
According to reports from different hotel chains, the objects found in their rooms over the course of a year accumulate an average value of around one million euros. Of course, sometimes the emotional amount can exceed all expectations, like the bodice designed by Jean Paul Gaultier that Madonna left in a hotel and with which all the employees were photographed before returning it to its rightful owner through the producer.
