Hi, all!

In The Gun Seller, by Hugh Laurie, I read this:

(Part 2)

-----Beginning of the citation-----
I arrived back at the flat and went through the usual answerphone
routine. Two meaningless bleeps, one wrong number, one call from a
friend interrupted in the first sentence, followed by three people I
didn't want to hear from who I now had to ring back.

God, I hated that machine.

I sat down at my desk and went through the day's mail. I threw some
bills into the bin, and then remembered that I'd moved the bin into the
kitchen - so I got annoyed, stuffed the rest of the post into a drawer,
and gave up on the idea that doing chores would help me to get things
straight in my mind.
----- The end of the citation -----


Did he mean  that he threw his mail on the floor?

Bye, all!
Alexander Koryagin
