You should have posted this in the "questions that qtddtot thread" thread.
Go to your local hardware store and buy some drywall anchors.

Is that fucking double sided tape and drywall screws?

Leave it. Tell her you talked to pros and they say the thing was never installed correctly to begin with.

Is this just a screw directly in drywall? This is poor installation. Ask your landlady to repair it, and provide an argument that this is because of how shitty the install is and not your actions. She'll agrt.

You can't screw shit into drywall, its like expecting cardboard to hold it up. You either drill into a stud which is a wood board spaced out about every 2 feet or use a drywall anchor to screw into

Piss on it, then pour some vinegar on there to stick it onto the wall

It'll come off the next time someone sneezes though

Get those screws in wood, homie. Then clean it up, patch the holes and paint it. Tell your land lady and maybe she will offer you a hand job or even a blow job.

regular toggle bolt, zips are annoying
twist anchor is more than enough here but stupid op will screw that up and make a bigger hole.
