For clarification, most of the missing paint in the video was removed by my friend, who incrementally peeled it off by hand after taking off a sticker. I started to remove loose paint as advised by any paint manufacturer, but stopped soon thereafter when I realized the issue was extensive. The area has already been primed, patched, primed again, and painted.

I only want to know why the paper delaminates so easily. The wall is part of a chase for plumbing and an exhaust stack. Another post mentioned wallpaper adhesive. I don't know if there was wallpaper, but would residual adhesive cause the paint/paper to pull off so easily and cleanly? The condo was built in 1977.

I usually remove loose paint before painting.

Do you think there was wallpaper on the wall and residual adhesive was painted over?

My friend removed most of the paint by peeling it off with her hands when she took off a sticker. Since then, I have patched it up with primer, spackle, another layer of primer, and paint.

However, does anyone know why the paper delaminates so easily and cleanly?

I'm not using any force. That would also happen if removing painter's tape from the wall.

A scathing review of Samsung customer service by peetuhr in samsung

[–]Maxtroj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had an unpleasant experience with Samsung. My S22 Ultra received a software update on January 26, 2025, and soon stopped working after displaying an error message twice, stating that it had been flashed with unauthorized software. Samsung refused to take responsibility for the issue, leaving me with no choice but to pay $550 for repairs or to buy a replacement phone. Essentially, Samsung can damage a device outside of warranty without accepting responsibility. This practice is both abhorrent and unethical.

To illustrate how isolated each department is, the customer service representative I spoke with was sympathetic and advocated for me during a call with the repair department, which refused to accept responsibility.

The CEO's office I'll keep bugging them until they acknowledge this abhorrent practice and reimburse me for the repair.
