An unnamed man has claimed he was forced to leave the room after the birth of his son because a nurse didn't appreciate a rude joke he made at his wife's expense.

In a Reddit post, he said: ''My wife gave birth to our first child three days ago and in the delivery room I made a few lighthearted comments which my wife laughed at, but the joyless hag of a nurse lost her s**t and kicked me out of the room.

''I calmly tried to placate the demented old boiler by explaining she has no right to be offended on other people's behalf, but that just made her worse.''
