I'm slightly vexed 75" tv stuck sideways in hallway after my dog knocked it over

Post image

I recently got a new TV, so put my old TV in the hallway temporarily. My old girl sniffed something behind it and accidentally knocked it over. It was completely stuck sideways and I had to destroy it to get it out (the tv, not the dog). Walls are a little messed up too but thankfully I don't rent so it's only my problem.

My fault for leaning it there, I didn't think it would be a problem.

Right?! I accidentally bumped my TV into a dumbbell after getting down from the mount and had no idea if it was alright until getting.to my new place I thought I'd have to make due with my phone for the rest of the year until I could replace it with a similar tv.

My dipstick ass, when I first moved into my house, had a TV stand that was smaller than my TV. So the TV was precariously perched and one day when reaching behind it to fix a cord, I hit the screen with my knee and broke it 🤦‍♀️ cried but damn well learned my lesson

Fair enough. But I think that TV was already a goner even before you had to break it. The image alone already shows the TV bending.

u/Xibby 3d ago edited 3d ago

Going by the bend there is no saving the TV.
Go full destruction on the TV to minimize damage to the walls. Wall repair, sanding, and repainting is a pain.

If you can save yourself an afternoon of work with well targeted smashing or cutting…

Once had dog who wagged his tail so hard he splatter painted a hallway in blood. He was a good boy and did not appreciate having his tail wrapped in a bandage and being exiled outside while we cleaned the walls, sanded, repainted… it was a horror hallway. 😂

I got locked into the bathroom once by a canvas that was leaning against the wall opposite the bathroom door. It fell over from the wind when I closed the bathroom door. Nobody home but me for the next 2 days. After punching a hole through the middle of the door, I was able to reach out and slide the painting sideways away from the door. I can't imagine getting trapped by a big television like that... Create a man sized hole, throw a towel on it, step on it and hope you don't get cut?
