I love that scene! Although does it relate closely to ADHD? It seems like it’s more a series of unfortunate events than a person loosing focus.

I’d say the distinction is the definitely not ADHD variant of the scene has Hal finishing replacing the bulb, and then working on the fixing the shelf, and so on. But that wouldn’t be funny.

Also I just noticed that he gets a screwdriver out of the drawer, but the shelf support appears to have a loose nail.
