...for laughing too loudly. He and his friend were summoned to his bosses office and told that someone had written a formal comlaint about my dad and his mate for laughing too loudly in the office. The boss was laughing himself when he had to tell them. Bless him - hes the life and soul of the place - always cheering people up and some miserable beggar has moaned about it. The worlds gone mad!! Natalia xx

Natalia Totally agree. Tell your dad not to let this get to him. I personally would rather work with someone who knows how to laugh like him than a misery guts like the person who complained. :) :) :) Julie

Hey ! where does he work ? In a mortury ? E x

LOL :-)) Rosi

and they say that laughter is the best medicine. what has society come to these days. MOAN, MOAN,BLOODY MOAN. lynnxx who's always chirppy

LOL I say and LOL again! Anna

Laughing? At work? Sackable offence at the VERY least!! lol.

Hes not letting it get to him Julie, I've just spoke to him and he's laughing his head off about it!!!! Thanks for your concern though it's appreciated. Louisiana, its a good job you dont work with my dad cos his laugh is very infectious so you'd be no good!! He's a funny un my Dad, Natalia xx

Girls, he's an architect for the council. Obviously the seriousness of his occupation is lost on him lol!!! Natalia x

Glad to hear it Natalia. The world needs a lot more like your dad.

I remember when I was an apprentice in the 1960s a man at work reported me to the foreman for 'looking at him' lol! Davex

I am always getting into trouble for laughing to much or being too loud in the office. I get fed up with being told now that I just don't care anymore.

How petty. I can't believe anyone would be so miserable. My dad is now dead, but he was a funny man and used to be quite a lark on the bus - he was a bus conductor. He said some cheeky things, BUT NO ONE EVER COMPLAINED and even 15 years after his death, people still stop my mum and say how much he made them smile. So good on your dad. We need more laughter and fun in our lives. nell

Dave, I have said it before and I'll say it again - the worlds gone mad!!! lol Joanne, you enjoy yourself, most people hate every moment of their time at work so its nice to see a bit of fun I think. Natalia xx (Whose keeping her eyes firmly diverted from anyone else!)

Cheers Nell, he is, as I am sure your Dad was, my ray of sunshine. He is so funny and kind, I don't know how anyone can find him offensive. Oh well, Natalia x

Yes Natalia couldnt believe it when the foreman said it to me the man said 'That Dave Up There Keeps Looking At Me' lol! never forget it lol! Dx

You must have a menacing look Dave LOL Natalia xx

Does your Dad work for Leeds City Council because when i WORKED IN 1 HOUSING OFFICE in Leeds. I worked with 3 other women we had a joke told to us and laughed about the joke. The manager came out of her office and told us all that we had to stop laughing because she could work/think. But when she had a few of the other staff in for coffee one morning they were actually screaming with laughing and the tenants could hear them.(1 of the women went into see her about the noise they were making.) One of the tenants had come to see her and she told us that she wasn't seeing anyone cos she was indisposed. Told the tenant this and he walked straight into her office from the corridor and told her that a complaint would be sent to the Director as she wouldn't see him even though he had an appointment with her. She was reprimanded at Head Office, Her face was a picture. Most of us left within 12 months because power had gone to her head. Moral of this little tale is don't complain about people laughing cos GOD always pays you back. Sue

No Sue, its not Leeds but Gateshead County Council. My dads boss is great but some of his coworkers are pains in the bum. Still, it takes all sorts doesnt it? Natalia xx

How very strange, I also work for a Council....
