Man Loses AirTag In A Portable Toilet, Shares He Has Been Following Its Adventure

ADVERTISEMENT

When the AirTag was introduced, I was honestly in awe of it, and you would be too if you knew what a scatterbrain I was who constantly lost things. So, for a chronic loser like me, it definitely sounds like a tiny savior in disguise.

Speaking of AirTags, this one had its own adventures when it got lost in a portable restroom, and the owner fondly tracked its journey, or that of the “porta-potty,” to different places. He even nicknamed the AirTag host Lenny the Latrine but it was close to losing batteries, so he had to say goodbye!

Finally, after a year of adventuring and wanderlusting, it was time to say goodbye to Lenny as his battery was about to die

Today, we dive into quite a peculiar story that left netizens in tears of laughter, all because of a lost AirTag! It all started a year ago when a man gave an AirTag to a family member who was running a triathlon, so they could track when she reached the finishing line. After the race, she used a portable restroom and lost the AirTag in there, and in there it forever stayed.

The man christened it Lenny the Latrine, and thus, Lenny started his journey to multiple locations that the fellow tracked. The hilarious “porta-potty” also had an eventful encounter with the airport staff one time when the original poster (OP) lost his baggage and had to show the moving AirTag. 

Well, it would’ve been hard to look at Lenny and not be confused about him, but the staff politely held back their questions, although their faces gave them away. Bet the man must have been laughing in his head!

After a year full of adventures and confusing airport staff, there finally came a day when OP had to bid adieu to Lenny. Why? His battery finally gave up after an epic Odyssey, and he would no longer crack smiles on OP’s face. Or so OP thought, because when he introduced Lenny to the internet, folks fell in love with him!

Despite saying goodbye, Lenny was still cracking those smiles on people’s faces as netizens could not help but laugh at his adventures. Other people also shared humorous stories about the travels of their AirTags and the adventures of others like Lenny out there.

As per Statista, 42% of Americans liked the “Find My Network” feature the most about the Apple AirTag. Well, if you get a whole year of tracking its adventure into the lands unknown, that’s like free entertainment (or not free, because you do lose the money you invested in buying it), and who wouldn’t enjoy that? 

What some people found ironic was that a device used to track misplaced items could itself be misplaced. Other folks also joked that the poster should find Lenny and revive his lifeline by changing the battery. Lenny almost won everyone’s heart as the post blew up and received over 85k reactions.

Research has forecasted that the AirTag market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 25.6% and $16,728 million in 2031. While its popularity keeps surging, who knows, we might find another story just like Lenny’s hidden on the internet, just waiting to share its adventures.

Well, if you are someone with a similar story, feel free to type away in the comments; having a funny Lenny story at hand could brighten someone’s day!

Lenny won over the internet and many folks advised the poster to save him by changing his battery

This is one of those “internet, do your thing” and get a new battery in the AirTag, so we can all join in this adventure.

If he could get to it to change the battery, he wouldn’t have left it there in the first place.
