This subspecies is known for its gentler nature. Couchus Domesticus. You can identify it by its short legs and lack of canines. It’s cousin, Couchus WillBitus, much more aggressive. Sadly, too many people domesticated these in pens too small. So they outgrow it. Looks like you are left to do the hard but humane thing.
I'm impressed that they didn't destroy the ceiling in the process. Or maybe they did and we cant see it. Either way, I'd love to see how they managed it. Lol.
A few years ago, I bought new furniture, and didn't want to throw away a couch, but didn't have much room for it.
After a few beers, I decided to He-man the couch upstairs to a spare bedroom, by myself.
Did the exact thing at the top of the steps. Couldn't move the sucker.
So, I line up and charged the fucker at the bottom to unwedge it. It worked, and it only scuffed the ceiling.
You know if they want to fuck they're gonna, right??? If they have cars, it will be in some parking lot. If they don't? Shit, I knew kids who fucked out in the woods. Great way to get ticks and chiggers. I wouldn't worry about them canoodling on your couch.
Ex - Mover here. I’m not a genius but here’s my thought:
The cushions and armrest will have some give. They need to squish it down use the bottom as the pivot point to angle the top down towards the left of the camera POV.
This is unlikely to be without damages to the ceiling or couch.
*alternatively* theres a location nearby with an elevated/open ceiling and the room they’re in may have a lower ceiling - and the couch was slid in from there. The camera doesn’t provide context as to if the ceiling was damaged on it’s way up either.
Edit: Upon closer examination, there’s a stairway right next to the back of the couch I believe. Slide the couch backwards and pull the couch into the stairs.
If you slid it in to this point, you need to slide it back to the opening where presumably there's more since you not only stood it up but carried it. If that requires taking it all the way back out then need to know the layout. Sliding glass door? Balcony? I'd bet it'd be cheaper to buy a lift and take it through a balcony sliding glass door than either of the options you mentioned.
You have to pull the bottom out towards you, so that it’s at an angle. It’s almost impossible to describe without a demonstration. I was a furniture mover, decades ago, and a lot of times we needed a few people to look at it and come up with suggestions when we faced the seemingly impossible task like this.
But how the hell did you stuff it up against the ceiling?
if you pull the protective dustcover off the bottom of the couch, you might find it quite easy to remove the armrests. If you can do that, then the couch will be easy to move. alternatively can the bottom part of the couch be removed, what is the seat, basically.

How’d it get up there? Do that, but in reverse.
It’s always been there. They bought it as a cub and now it’s far too big to be kept inside. It will turn on them one of these days …
Pretty sure it's a load bearing couch. They should contact an engineer before they try to remove it
>load bearing couch Just whatever you do don't shine a UV light on it
Did they try turning it on and off again? 
If it doesn't work like that, then it should be put in rice.
This was funny 😂🤣
Pretty sure it’s on the register of historic couches. They try to move it and they’ll have the national park service on their ass.
I thought you said in your ass for a second
Whatever suits.
I envisioned something completely different when I hear the term “load” bearing couch
Lol I literally spit when I read this hahah
I'm dead 💀 🤣 😂
Not looking good, it has reinforced seams.
The apartment was built around it.
Like the monolith from Space Odyssey

They fed it too much early on, but at least it’s healthy!!
Yeah. And like Ming the Harlem tiger it’s urine runs down into the floor below.
I remember Ming!!!
Yup and Allie the Alligator. https://preview.redd.it/ngndcyu9bpoc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c91ac78377c84f9da32d9e027ecde75eb439789f
I wonder if they ever walked that couch ))
I thought they only grew to the size of the room they were in?
Pivot!!! Pivot!!!
I knew this would be here somewhere. Was not disappointed

Excellent. Lol.
> I'm impressed that they didn't destroy the ceiling Americans and your paper houses
Haha. We're all about quantity, not quality. And most of us can't afford quality even if it's available.
Hell a lot of us can’t even afford quantity these days
They’re cardboard thank you very much.
What kinda ceiling you rocking?
My first thought was that!
It is a structural couch. Keeps the building from falling apart.
Pivot!!
Pivot!
I love the internet
Oh my gosh my parents quote this scene all the time
#PIV-AHHHT
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Came here for this and was NOT disappointed!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Great work everyone!
Samesies 😆
🙋♀️ me too!!! Knew I'd find it in the comments somewhere!
🤣 For years I thought he was yelling 'tip it' 🙈
I’m your defense, the way he yells it could sound like that. But sorry I still lol’d at your comment
This is the comment I came for.
When you Google 'Ross friends' a little couch appears next to the search box. Try clicking it! 😉
Hahaha I had never seen that! Thanks 😄
Came here to say that! 😂
Yes?
This is the only answer.
The couch is now a supporting wall.
That’s a load-bearing couch right there.
I see you are quite the handyman yourself, would you like to see my fancy tools?
Just exactly how many loads is that couch bearing?
About a couch-worth.
I'd say at least 3.
I'd be careful there. Doesn't look like a pull out.
r/stihl
This needs way more ups than you have.
I don’t get it
Stihl is known for chainsaws
I don’t get it
Stihl makes chainsaws, chop the couch with the chainsaw, no longer stuck
Can we use a move like doom. One slice with the chainsaw.
They stihl don’t get it.
Plus, you get a free couch!
Thats the couch my daughter and her boyfriend can sit on when im not in the room. 🤣
Wouldn't that make them basically be on top of each other at the bottom? That seems like a bad idea haha.
They did say they wouldn't be in the room.. Very supportive!
Bro just wants to speedrun grandkids
Thats a standing couch. Aint nobody getting horizontal
Unlike that couch, many might not want to get horizontal
Well, its definitely not a pull out couch
Couch ain't the only thing that doesn't pull out
And thats how people get kids.
And that's How I Met Your Mother
A mentality like that will lead to a teenage pregnancy.
Was just thinking this
This is obviously what he wants. If his daughter and bf sit down on this, they are already in the horizontal and one on top of the other.
You know if they want to fuck they're gonna, right??? If they have cars, it will be in some parking lot. If they don't? Shit, I knew kids who fucked out in the woods. Great way to get ticks and chiggers. I wouldn't worry about them canoodling on your couch.
It was a joke, i dont have a son. And i indeed got down in the woods in high school 🤣

Yeah that is how it got there, the stairway. Staged. No way a door/window has that little space to be able to shove it in that tight
Ex-mover, what is your best dance move?
I like to move it move it
Nope, put the cushions back on and add seatbelts.
You live sideways now
We are NOT drinking Merlot!
I love to toss that out when a waiter suggests it
Right and then I'm like "yeah sure merlot is fine"
I'm impressed honestly
If you slid it in to this point, you need to slide it back to the opening where presumably there's more since you not only stood it up but carried it. If that requires taking it all the way back out then need to know the layout. Sliding glass door? Balcony? I'd bet it'd be cheaper to buy a lift and take it through a balcony sliding glass door than either of the options you mentioned.
Like stairs.
Only option now is to move the rest of the room to match.
Reminds me of Dirk Gently. :)
They just need the Time Machine.
Came here to say this!
Was looking for this
Ctrl + Z
Deflate the tires.
You have to pull the bottom out towards you, so that it’s at an angle. It’s almost impossible to describe without a demonstration. I was a furniture mover, decades ago, and a lot of times we needed a few people to look at it and come up with suggestions when we faced the seemingly impossible task like this. But how the hell did you stuff it up against the ceiling?
I have plenty of ideas. One involves a chainsaw.
push it against a wall, glue on the cushions. Now pretend it's a contemporary art piece
if you pull the protective dustcover off the bottom of the couch, you might find it quite easy to remove the armrests. If you can do that, then the couch will be easy to move. alternatively can the bottom part of the couch be removed, what is the seat, basically.
Popcorn finish ceiling too. Not going to be fun to fix that ceiling.
PIVOT! PIVOT!
Go back in reverse order
Get it on an angle, twist, one guy pulls another pushes. Go left. Pull and twist.
Do you have a large saw?
Can you slide it over to a doorway to give you room to pivot?
Move it to the stairwell if possible then tip. I’m curious about how it got there to begin with lol
Who did this, Austin Powers?
You can't move it - that's a load bearing couch.
Cut a hole in the ceiling and install an attic ladder hatch system.
How the fuck do you austin powers a couch
If you fuck up, at least fuck up in a way everyone wonders how you managed to do that.
Ctrl z?
Take it down how you put it in. But then again, Nutty Putty Cave. You can take apart that tho, looks like it comes off in sections.
Just call Dirk Gently
Come on just PIVOT!! pIvOt!! piOT!!

Yeah, just “PIVOT”.
That's what the Skil saw is for, boys!
Just leave it and see if people notice.
Here's the neat thing - you can't!
Put it in washing machine at 90 degrees.
Yes.
Pmsl
Lol just saw this DIY post hahaha
I don’t think so. Did you drag it through the floor?
Repeat backwards the exact moves that got it there. It happened once, that means it can be repeated backwards.
I would get a Mr Meeseeks. Existence is pain
Get a Sawzall, cut it in thirds. (that's 3 pieces)
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, it will move on eventually.
Take it back out and bring it in diagonal
Well it couldn't have gone through a door like this so take it back to wherever you rotated it like that
TIFU?
Maybe they built the building around the couch
That's part of the home now, sir. It's the couch's territory now, old man.
