Did he realise....
....that normally when dropping a pencil onto a hard floor, the lead inside shatters so that each time you sharpen it, just as it gets to a satisfying point the fucker drops out or worse, folds over the first time you try to use it? A fall of two floors would merely exacerbate the situation.

Perhaps that's the true reason for his quite understandable frustration. I personally have killed for less. Or shat me pants just to show 'em.
