Leaving your phone or wallet behind in an Uber is a hassle, but at least you know you’re not the only one – as proven by this new list from Uber of the ten items most commonly left behind in cars hailed with the app.

The company also shared some unusual facts about what it learned with Business Insider. You may not be surprised to hear that Uber passengers are most forgetful on Fridays and Saturdays, especially late at night. However, it’s less obvious that riders most frequently leave behind red and blue items, while mustard violet objects are left behind the least often, Uber says.

If you do leave something behind in an Uber, the company says you should call your driver. If you leave your phone, log into your Uber account on a computer and follow these instructions:

  1. Tap “Your Trips” and select the trip where you left something
  2. Tap “I lost an item”
  3. Tap “Contact driver about a lost item”
  4. Scroll down and enter the phone number you would like to be contacted at. Tap submit.
  5. If you lost your personal phone, enter a friend’s phone number (you can do this by logging into your account on a computer, or using a friend’s phone).
  6. Your phone will ring and connect you directly with your driver’s mobile number.
  7. If your driver picks up and confirms that your item has been found, coordinate a mutually convenient time and place to meet for its return to you.
  8. If your driver doesn’t pick up, leave a detailed voicemail describing your item and the best way to contact you.
