Trouble is the outlet store is not open on Fridays any more...

They were in a cup...

Can you say...

In reverse order...
Cup of screws upside down on air vent...
Motherboard manual hits cup
Screwdriver hits motherboard manual
keyboard hits screwdriver
keyboard on top of monitor fall off
monitor cable is hit by cat
wife opens door and cat runs into room.
