Garbage Picker

I was just minding my own business, sitting in my room doing homework, when my roommate comes in panicked. She realized she had left her retainer on her tray at lunch so it had likely been thrown out. Being the empathetic person I am, I laughed. Then I suggested she ask the kitchen if who ever was doing dishes had found it. She wasn't up for that idea, but knew her dad would kill her if she didn't try to look for it. I told her we had to look, and the worst that could happen would be we'd have to dig through the garbage.

We ended up having to dig through the garbage. It was really disgusting, you would not believe how much food people waste. There was a whole slice of bread, a whole slice of pizza, and even a whole wrap amongst the lunch scraps. We started getting worried as we were able to see the bottom of the garbage can. Finally I found the retainer, with someones banana peel, spaghetti, and rice wrapped around it, but it was fine. She was really happy to have her retainer back. She put it back in her mouth right away! Just kidding; she's boiling it as I type. It wasn't too bad digging through the garbage, but I don't recommend you try this at home.
