Today, my grandma threw away my clear retainer thinking it was plastic from packaging. She has done this three times now. They cost 300 dollars to replace. FML
peacechick71 tells us more.
Hey guys OP here. To answer some questions, yes I have told my grandmother various times that I have a retainer, and that it looks like packaging and to not throw it away. I do keep it in a plastic case but I only wear it at night so when I am out shopping for her or walking her animals she snoops in my stuff. I have tried keeping it in my room to keep away from her but the door always "accidentally" opens and her animals find it and play with it because animals like the saliva taste on the retainer, it is then she thinks it's packaging and throws it away.

If she's done this many times before, why would not put it in some kind of case? Maybe try to put a note or something that says my retainer don't throw away.

Tell her to stop. Or make her pay for it.

Here's an idea fucktard, DON'T GET A CLEAR ONE. Wow. What a revolutionary thought.

...you would think that after the first time, you would know better than to just leave your retainer lying around for it to be mistaken as just a piece of plastic...
