[Closed] Note left on "parked" ambulance

I used to live next door to someone who thought he owned the bit of public highway immediately in front of his house and didn't take kindly to anyone else parking in it. Obviously whenever the bit of road outside mine had been parked in, I quite enjoyed having an excuse to choose "his" bit.

As I understand it, the "van" was parked in a parking space anyway.  Really quite amazing what people think they're entitled to these days...

She wrote 'van' because she couldn't spell 'ambulance'.

Remarkable. Makes you want to find out which street it was, then tax and park a scrapper outside number 14.

[quote[Parked your “van”

She wrote ‘van’ because she couldn’t spell ‘ambulance’.

She gave "collapsed" her best shot, though.

Haha I hadn't noticed that!

😉 We should set up a group fund.

Odd that when the daily mail published the story (which happened in Tunstall S-o-T btw) they saw fit to make note of her religion, well her supposed religion rather. Not that it's relevant in the slightest.

TBH it all just seems like she didn't realise it was an ambulance. Not just because she calls it a van but the "whole street collapsed" thing doesn't make any sense for an ambulance but would for a builder or gas van or something.

That would be a really irresponsible thing to do.

If the lady at no 14 collasped , there would be nowhere for the van to park and she might die, which would be a shame.

'You have no right to be Porked here'

If the vans a rockin' don't go knocking!

It should be legal to park an ambulance on top of mouth breathers like this utter chump.

the “whole street collapsed” thing doesn’t make any sense for an ambulance

the van, sorry, ambulance was there because a neighbour of the note-writing moron had collasped? And therefore she wouldn't give a shit if an ambulance had come for multiple collapsed personages? That's how I read it anyway.

She probably could've fitted the words "my house" on better if she'd shortened "number 14" to "no. 14". That's what I would've done.

Yeah but, big thing with lights on it painted like an ambulance with "Ambulance" written on it?

The only thing I can think of is that she though "ecnalubmA" written on the front was "foreign" for builder

Ah, that does make sense actually. I was thinking "the street" not "the people in the street"

#14 FTW

Anyone knows I would never stoop to such Americanisms, dude.

Yeah, what we really need to know is the value of her house. 😉

hope to god that the police told this silly cow that she does not own the pavement and public highway in front of her dwelling and that anyone has the right to park there, if there are not double yellow lines.

If I lived around there and had a car, I'd make a point of parking in front of her place every time possible, goading her to try written and/or verbal abuse again, to then get the coppers out to sort her out.

IIRC, she's been arrested.

Hopefully there is sufficient evidence for her to be charged, or at least cautioned.

What are they going to charge her with, poor spelling?

She verbally abused the crew too and if she obstructed a Paramedic in their duty there’s a risk of charge there too.

IIRC there was some swearing/aggression to accompany the note so she was arrested for public order offences.

Wouldn't hold out much hope for a significant sentence, there was a recent case where the paramedics wrist was broken and the guy got a suspended sentence which is a joke.

OK so the note wasn't the dumbest decision she made thart day then.

This if what crowd funding was made for...

Buying cars to park outside this woman's house

Any charge will most likely come to very little.

This sort of thing is what the stocks would be ideal for.

With a significant portion of the population now being self-entitled, aggressive, semi-literate halfwits I think there is a strong case for reintroducing the stocks. It would pay for itself if punters were charged 50p a throw and supermarket waste was utilised as the ammo.

Not a relative of one of you lot is she ?

supermarket waste was utilised as the ammo.

I can think of better substances TBH.

DannyH - your stocks plan is almost word for word what I keep suggesting!

is that she though “ecnalubmA” written on the front was “foreign” for builder

she probably misread it as "encumbrance" and went from there.

Wonder how long it took police to knock on door 14 and arrest her, she was also verbally abusive to ambo staff.

Arrested and charged with public order offense and breach of a restraining order so maybe she has form for emergency service abuse?

My sister in law and family live in Tunstall.
I bet the driver was an off-comer - local would have got a free pass...
And before anyone says it - SIL is nurse and can spell...

The worst part is the fact that the note asked them to move the van. Foolish crazy lady, they're only going to see your note when they return to the vehicle in order to leave. Pointless note.

I sincerely hope she collaspes outside number 15 and the ambulance crew refuse to pick her up, just in case it offends the residents of that property.

According to reports the 26 year old unemployed woman that was arrested doesn't even own a car.

In in some cases I genuinely think some public humiliation and opprobrium might stick in their tiny minds a bit more.

Why would she care about the charge? She’s going to get a fine at worst and she can pay that off from the fee she can then ask for from the Daily Star and Jeremy Kyle show.

I'm almost in agreement - many folk seem to behave these days as though there are no consequences
Public humiliation may work...

'Don't block my drive' note left on ambulance - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-41953644

Too many idiots in life.

perhaps the flashing lights were disturbing her watching Jeremy Kyle?

Seriously, this is becoming an issue in society. In the New Forest there are 130 car parks where you can park for free to walk your dog or whatever.

A few months ago, someone in a house half way up a gravel track to one of these car parks collapsed. There are only 3 houses up the track which is half a mile long and leads to a gravel car park with about 15 spaces.

The ambulance turns up, parks on the gravel track outside the house to go and rescusitate the guy in the house as he's obviously in a bad way. next thing, someone knocks on the door of the house "can you move that ambulance, I've got to get to the car park as I need to walk my dog" . The guys daughter has to put up with that as the paramedics are dealing with her dad.

What would you say to that person?

Surely anyone with any modicum of reality would just think, something bad going on here, I'll turn around and drive 1 mile up the road to the next car park that accesses the same area and park there instead.

Think I'd have gone to town on his car or something bad...

I’m a firefighter and am often astounded at just how stupid members of the public can be, especially when we are clearly doing busy work.

I absolutely hate the new wave of self entitlement that seems to be infecting this country. How can anyone in their right mind think they are more important that the emergency services responding to an incident??

It's one of those things that annoys me on a daily basis. As if it's not demanding enough!

What would you say to that person?

No, it was posted when it appeared in the news. Hey! Good luck finding it though 😆

Let's hope she never has to call an ambulance to her house.

No, let's hope she does.  And also let's hope the paramedics have learned their lesson, get their priorities right ask her where they should park their van before attending to her.  Might be an idea to get her to come outside and make sure the parking of the van meets her standards.  Absolutely sure? we can move it over there if that would be better.  maybe move it anyway just to be sure, back in a minute etc..

Those second jobs and charity car washes won't do themselves will they?
