German authorities have fined a woman for laughing too loudly.
Officials in Berlin took action against the 47-year-old, named only as
Barbara M in court papers, when her neighbour complained she was disturbing
the peace through her giggling.
The 52-year-old neighbour who was also not named but lives with his elderly
mother said his noisy neighbour frequently invited people round where they
would laugh the night away.
