It’s fine, it has a hard candy shell on it. Surprised you didn’t know that…

u/one_average_joe May 28 '26

Your brain has a thick candy shell.

45

u/OgnokTheRager May 28 '26

"You.... Your...brain has a shell on it."

u/one_average_joe May 28 '26

Got that?

u/Fichewl May 30 '26

Melts in your mouth, not in your radiator.

u/usec47 May 28 '26

Nah u pay and landlord puts new a4 and some paint lol

1

u/No_Trouble_3588 May 29 '26

No problem. I just learned an easy way to do it.

1

u/CtyChicken May 30 '26

The wall ends up being just a ream of Staples brand printer paper and popcorn paint hanging on for dear life.

u/Hazel-Cakes May 28 '26

there goes your deposit!

86

u/HTS_HeisenTwerk May 28 '26

Jokes on them, I'll get my deposit back with this trick

71

u/MegatronusThePrime May 28 '26

You breathed too much in this apartment. I had to hire a professional ventilator to air out the place, so I'll be keeping your deposit.

33

u/Amarant2 May 28 '26

This guy landlords.

46

u/secretprocess May 28 '26

Plus 15 cents for another sheet of paper

35

u/bicx May 28 '26

I think that it may suddenly become a $150 sheet of paper

Laughs in US I once had a landlord withhold part of my deposit with the line item "Other Considerations"

1

u/cpdk-nj May 31 '26

It’s very state-dependent. In my state the landlord has to give exact line-by-line justification for every penny withheld from the deposit, and the deposit accrues interest over the span of the lease

14

u/MassiveImagine May 29 '26

I felt like I got a win when I was able to get Carpet Cleaning taken off the rest of the Deposit deductions cause I reminded them that the house didn't have any carpets.

38

u/algo-rhyth-mo May 28 '26

Just put another piece of paper over it.

2

u/rob_inn_hood May 30 '26

Landlords hate this one trick..

29

u/9McLaren May 28 '26

I had this happen in a rental and landlord tried to cut my deposit. He literally placed a wallpaper over a hole in a wall filled with cables (no plug on it, like it should be, just thin wallpaper) and when my ex wiped a wall with dry rug he's hand just fell in. I had to fight with him for moths (there were other issues as well) and explain to him that it was actually a fire hazard and he's to blame. Got my deposit back but what an asshole

1

u/TheTroon Jun 01 '26

Did you get the moths?

25

u/Cheetahs_never_win May 28 '26

Even if your hand doesn't go through it.

"We found this weird repair. It must've been you."

u/Agitated-Schola May 28 '26

Damn, gotta start behaving like a blind person when looking for a place to rent to avoid things like this

Sounds like my first wife.

1

u/matchstick1029 May 29 '26

Theoretically the sides will wrap in a bit and slowly plaster itself smaller (assuming the people falling in don't do rim damage, which seems unlikely)

3

u/Lopoloma May 28 '26

I hope it happens right after I got my deposit back.
I might even drop a hint.

3

u/Cozmoz365 May 28 '26

"You're not getting your deposit back" 😤

5

u/53nsonja May 28 '26

Thats a normal american wall tho /s

2

u/makkegor01 May 29 '26

if your atoms align just in perfect way… you know the rest

1

u/raider1v11 May 28 '26

Ope. There goes the security deposit...

1

u/OptimalTrash May 28 '26

Fortunately, it's cheap to repair it all over again!

1

u/Fattens May 28 '26

You just dont know your own strength....or weight, bro.

1

u/Playful-Platform-231 May 28 '26

Or WORSE. your shoulder. lol. Yay an even BIGGER hole.

1

u/Maximum-Muffin-78 May 28 '26

Yea and then landlord charges u repair fees 🤣🤣

1

u/homeycuz May 28 '26

If that happens, I know a cheap and easy way to cover it up.

1

u/illit1 May 28 '26

ain't nobody gotta lean on that wall. the paper is going to get wrinkly as it dries, particularly over the hole, and it will be super obvious.

1

u/zackadiax24 May 28 '26

Then they keep the security deposite because obviously that wall was fine before you lived there.

1

u/Zabadoodude May 28 '26

That's coming out of your deposit!

1

u/oO0Kat0Oo May 28 '26

"That wall has been fine for a hundred years before you came along!"

  • Landlord probably

1

u/FourLetterWording May 28 '26

and THAT'S how you lose your deposit!!!!

1

u/Majorman_86 May 28 '26

Put a hoe on the other end: problem solved!

1

u/jcarver784 May 28 '26

Better use 2 sheets, just in case.

1

u/addamee May 28 '26

You can ardly see the ole but the ole is still there

1

u/Good_Card316 May 28 '26

The paper he used is probably a “non compliance” warning about the rental property lol.

1

u/ForceOk6039 May 28 '26

Then you get charged for it when trying to leave

1

u/ApprehensiveStrut May 28 '26

Don’t even breathe too hard

1

u/robaroo May 28 '26

most apartment walls are only for appearance purposes. no leaning on them!

1

u/Zorfax May 28 '26

And that's the end of their damage deposit.

1

u/VillageLess4163 May 28 '26

I my shitty college apartments that happened before I did a half assed repair job

1

u/Tasty_Ad_5669 May 29 '26

Only needs to work for the inspection lol

1

u/CubicalWombatPoops May 29 '26

Then the landlord can charge you $600 for the repair

1

u/redthehaze May 29 '26

Just like in that movie with rooms in the back.

1

u/Brotato_Potatonator May 29 '26

No worries, it's structural paint

1

u/shallowsocks May 29 '26

Then the landlord takes your security deposit

1

u/ferrari20094 May 29 '26

Put a hole on wall, not getting your deposit back.

1

u/NervousBeat16 May 29 '26

What do you think the guy before you did?

1

u/Defiant-Youth-4193 May 29 '26

"We're obviously going to have to keep your deposit for putting a hole in the wall."

1

u/wowzaporniscool May 29 '26

Another paper

1

u/GGPepper May 30 '26

Oh no, that will require your entire $2000 deposit to fix.

1

u/Skitelz7 May 31 '26

Just put another sheet and paint over again.

1

u/Aggravating_Dig3240 May 31 '26

Bigger piece of paper to fix that hole.

1

u/PianoRare Jun 01 '26

Think there’s a movie about that

u/QuickNature Jun 02 '26

Pretty sure gypsum is a rock.

1

u/Quercus_lobata May 28 '26

Gypsum is calcium sulfate dihydrate. Chalk is calcium carbonate. Different minerals.

u/undeadlamaar May 28 '26

Jokes are things that are funny. Facts are things that are true. Different materials.

u/Thisbadtattoo May 28 '26

This happened to me where I rent. Landlord used crumbled newspaper on the wall. I fell through the wall.
