so last night i forgot my darn retainers at work. (just got my braces off in december...) they were on my desk, next to my keyboard in a styrofoam cup. i've left them there
many times like that...
anyway, this morning i get to work and the cup is gone. friggin night-time cleaning lady musta tossed it.
i was too ashamed to call the orthodontist today and tell them. any idea how much damage thats gonna be? upper
and lower.

I'd be doing a bit of dumpster diving if it were me.
I had a something similar happen and was lucky to find it in the dumpster!

man that sucks.
must have a cool office to leave your grill just sitting around in a cup and not get hassled about it
honestly think about u a cleaning lady.. u seem something like that in a cup why would u through it away.
but i suppose i need to step into a cleaning ladys mind "o these office people cant even through away their own cups! grabs it in anger and throws it"
good lucky.. but u might get covered if u have the gumption to report it.. thats what ur company and the cleaning company have insurance for

its like a 50 story skyscraper. i actually asked about doing that and got laughed at by the facilities guy.
lesson learned i guess. just means i gotta spend money on something important for a change.

the cleaning lady is super cool. i wish she would just stick to whats in the garbage can, but its not her fault, i know she would feel real bad if she knew. i might see if i can get reimbursed for it through the company, but i still got to get shamed by my old man orthodontist about losing them.

Some of the high rise buildings compact the trash on-site into huge blocks. That would utterly redefine dumpster diving

That sucks dude.
Damn, I was scrolling down and all of a sudden that building was there, and as I scrolled down further it seemed like it was coming right out of the screen. I thought I was having a flashback or something. Did anybody else notice how weird that was, or was it just me???

LOL did anybody else notice the banner google put on top of the tread?
Very close to the content!
edit:
Darn... it seems random, it was gone after I posted.
There was nice ad for closing the gap between your front teeth right before. Ithought there advertising was really getting intelligent

Yeah take care of your teeth, dont play contact sports etc etc. Just had my bridge redone last year and cost me almost $5000 after insurance

sad part is I have never had a single cavity ( ieven have all my wisdom teeth ), I just kept knocking the front ones out

trust me guys, after spending about 12k on my teeth i'm calling the orthodontist...
i got a orthodintist banner when i first looked at this thread this morning, maybe google has a smart banner thing that recognizes keywords and then places the appropriate content?
