Mrs horse just had to move that TV
We got cable TV in our new house in Korea. It took us a week to work out how to operate it. Last night we got it going for the first time. It was great after a week without TV. I stayed up till 2am watching it.
This morning Mrs Horse decides to move the TV cabinet. Its rickety and heavy. The sliding platform the TV sits on is not stable. The wooden shelving hood above is not attached to the base cabinet below the TV as it should be. The wooden hood is heavy and slides around knocking the TV while 3 of us are trying to shift the TV to where she wants it, which is like a foot or two to the left.... or the right...or in the corner....
Sure enough, the TV platform suddenly shifts forward knocked by the hood and the TV falls out, taking a big chunk out of the wood floor. The cable to DVD cable is shredded. Fortunately the TV tube didn't blow but the top right corner of the casing is smashed. We can't get the cable TV to work anymore, or the DVD player. Miraculously the TV still works. Its borrowed btw, over 100cm. We have to give it back when our own stuff arrives. She's says, no problem, "we'll just have to replace it"
An hour later and I'm still getting over the shock
I've never had a TV crash to the floor like that before, face first.
The only saving grace is I didn't get into an argument with her about it and basically avoided saying dumb "I told you so" things
But God it was hard to keep my mouth shut

TV is a bad influence.
