"wellthatsucks" seems like a slight understatement, maybe "ihavenowordstoexpresshowfuckedthisis"

Can’t recall it fully, but I think this is a custom flexible ceiling that’s fixed in place with steel rods where it touches other walls so it’s basically doing what it should be doing! You slowly drain it by sticking a circle of tape and puncturing it in the middle.

I am almost positive this is not a real thing that exists in the real world.

Looking at the picture I was trying to think what I would do in that situation. Making a patch with duct tape and then punching a hole to drain it was one of my first ideas. I was gana comment it but then I saw your response.

When in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hеll in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table?

I had this happened where it was successfully drained. The good part was that it was over the bathtub, however the bad part was the pregnant belly being all tile. That would hurt. Anyway, I took the smallest drill I could find and created holes through the grout in a few places. It eventually drained enough to not collapse, and the contractor could take it out in a controlled fashion.

In this case the person suggesting tape seems like a really important idea so you can make a drain hole without it ripping open and bringing it all down at once. Grab some towels and buckets, and spend a few hours getting that water out before it makes things worse

Bruh your ceiling is about to pop out a baby ceiling

Is that the one where the guy moved all his stuff out of the way, but moved it back after the building management said it was fine, and then it popped?

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
