AIBU to think our accountant is a right cheeky *%$£?!

Had an email in work yesterday morning from our accountant in the office. He is getting married in June (common knowledge in work) but has not invited anyone from work (fair enough by all means).

However, in his email that he's sent everyone in the office, he said that he would appreciate any financial donations as a good will gesture for his wedding and that to save us bother, he is willing to deduct a chosen amount straight from our wage package and transfer the money into his account as he's doing the wages this month.

AIBU to think this is one of, if not THE, most shockingly rude things someone has ever suggested, at the fact he's not invited us then goes ahead to ask us for money?!

Of course it's a joke (if true) - just a tw*t going over the top and some others overreacting big time!

No professional would ever consider doing something like this and frankly it doesn't say much for people's views of accountants that they even for one minute considered it might be for real ...

very stupid, juvenile and dangerous joke

He's not necessarily a professional - could be an unqualified book-keeper given too much control and thinks he can do what he wants?
