So, my Missus comes out of work after a 12 hour night shift on a kids ward in Leeds general Infirmary to find that some useless, jobsworth, corksucking, w**kstained dog-snot of an apology for a human being who doesn't mind sticking po*y fu**ing plastic wrapped fu**ing parking fu**ing tickets on hard working staff nurses cars (who are frightened to street park in the shitehole that is Leeds cos there's been so many assaults during the hours of darkness)has stuck a fu**ing ticket on her windcreen at...wait for it...7 minutes past 3 this morning.
I sincerely hope this useless overpaid & under educated tosspot who just has to be some skinny, goofy ugly C**T!..goes to the bog today for a crap & finds he's got a hedgehog stuck up his stinking, worm infested ringpiece. In fact, worse than that. I hope his rabbit dies & he can't sell the fu**ing hutch! & I haven't finished yet, oh no.
I also hope that the OVERPAID, USELESS UNCARING management at the LGI hang their heads in shame for making staff (like my mrs, who is a STAFF NURSE) pay £12 A NIGHT for the priveledge of working there. She applied for a permit (which cost £28 A MONTH!) but was refused because she 'didn't meet the criteria'. I bet If she'd been a fu**ing manager driving a fu**ing BM fu**ing W she would have met the bas***d criteria though!
I'm going outside to smash something up.
You seem angry - have you thought about emailing Hora for support?
good rant.
according to an article in the newspaper parking tickets on private land are unenforceable.
😆
Hmmm...fined for parking illegally you say?
7 / 10 - two points for getting in two animal references. That is a bit shocking though.

Don't you fu**ing start pal else I'll be round & stick a fu**ing dead hedgehog up yours.
Your'e not NHS management are you by any chance?

At that time of the morning, that'll be the Police.
Last (and only) time I got a parking ticket it was on a Bank Holiday Monday. I naively assumed that Bank Holiday Mondays were treated as weekends but apparently not. I was quite friendly when I paid the fine so the girl behind the counter told me they actually send out extra wardens on bank holidays because lots of people make the same mistake.

Read the OP. The feds don't go wandering round NHS car parks dishing out tickets, divvy.
I know your pain... A year or 2 ago I came back to my car outside the LGI to find all my windows put through. All because I could not find a space in the inadequate hospital carpark!! It was 9pm.
If the ticket has been issued by a private enforcement company, how could they possibly enforce it?
They can't find out who you are and where you live from your number plate, surely?
They can obtain the details of the registered keeper. Anybody can find out to whom any vehicle is registered.
Really? Just from the number plate? how do you do that?
I can only guess that the red mist that descended in front of you made it difficult to see that you hadn't posted this in the chat forum.
There - you've got something else to fume about now. 😆

Just pointing out the obvious, it's fun winding you up.
I'd say 6/10. Too much correct punctuation, not enough random capitalisation and no references to buggery with coke bottles. Oh and no mention of ownership with Italian brand suspension devices.
Buy her a bike and let her cycle to and from work.
There ya go - back on topic.

So;
Your wife knew that she ought to have either a nightly or monthly parking ticket but chose not to buy one? Presumably, she'd assumed that she would 'get away with it' by parking at night?
Regardless of the rights or wrongs of not providing secure parkign for vulnerable employees (which I can understand would cause upset) I can't see how enforcing well known parking restrictions has provoked such surprise and outrage?
don't pay it! similar circumstances (NHS job, parked on site during work hours etc) to what happened to me recently & there aint no way they're taking money from me!

Has the trust the Mrs works for gained recent foundation trust status?
Seems its regarded as a good money spinner, I'm not sure they got all the value from parking and fines before hand.Just a thought may be wrong?
Perhaps she should apply for a management post 😕
My Wife has occasionally got a ticket parking in a public car park at her hospital. She ignores it, then seems to ring someone and it gets binned. Being a `visiting' HM Forces nurse may have something to do with it.
If she can get a space it's free parking anytime on the cobbled road up the stairs from the Clarendon Wing car park.
get her a nice 900 lumen torch to blind would be attackers.
So, my Missus
Imagine the level of fury if this had happened to him? 😆
Best rant in a long time 9/10
You missed one point for not having a badly annotated diagram/home made picture
Hmm,marking.6/10 rising to 7.5 for threatening to bugger another stw'er with a wild animal.Showing improvement,well done!
From November it will be illegal to ticket/clamp/tow away on private land in England and Wales (it already is in Scotland). Regarding this ticket, send the ticketer a letter, stating that you are paying them a reasonable amount for a minor breach of contract, along with a £10 cheque. If they want more they'll have to take you to court and they won't because they'd be unlikely to win.
A colleague at work challenged a ticket issued like this.
She said that as far as she was aware the car was parked at home and somebody else must have used it. She asked did the parking enforcement company have photographic evidence to prove she was driving it, they didn't and they didn't pursue the matter any further.
typical woman parking whereever she can and not paying up/caring until she gets a ticket and gets fined which then leads to her partner going beserk on a forum - fully deserved 😆
If its been issued by a private enforcement company don't do anything, don't acknowledge any letters they send you or offer to pay them any money. Just ignore everything.
Why is anyone charged to park in a hospital car park anyway? My local hospital charge so much for parking that it is a major expense for hospital workers and many have to find alternative parking in roads nearby, mainly mine. Ironically, my little road is so packed with cars these days, if anyone needed the emergency services they wouldn't be able to get through. No one benefits except the bloody parking company.
Well I'm dead chuffed I got a 9/10 at one point!
The thing that pi$$es me off is the fact that Sue does permanent nights & she can't buy the day tickets (@ 90p each!) cos the office thats sells them is only open 9-5. She finishes at around 06.45/07.00 & we live 45 mins drive away. By the time she's done a 12 hr shift (possibly helping your kiddie get back on their feet) she wants to get home & get some kip. Why the hell should (some) staff have to pay at night, to go to work?
In reality though, most of the staff don't pay at night. If you get a ticket It's a £60 fine, but if you pay within 14 days it's 'only' £15. It's £12 to park for 12 hours & I know it was a good rant but It's the first time she's been caught out. 😆 but that doesn't alter tha fact that the NHS & their car park agents are still a useless bunch of moneygrabbing scumbags! 😐
I think that was my first rant ever. Must try again to see if I can get a 10!
The car parking enforcemant officer has a job to do, and he did what he was paid to do, thats how this capitalist system works.
But saying that i would write to the cheif exec of the hospital and the local paper along with the local tv station, only by shaming the muppets can you get justice.
Wee word of advise - ranting about a workplace is fine on the internet but [b]seriously[/b] avoid the use of your missus' name and place of work... 😉
See if the Daily Mail have a story for tomorrow - they'll love a 'hard working childrens nurse on night-shift gets shafted by desk-bound NHS managers' type story.
And if nothing else ring up the Chief Exec and blast him, as a worried husband.
Whats the worse that can happen?
Good point Project!

No its not illegal to issue a Parking Charge Notice in Scotland - and as I understand it it won't be in england when you catch up either. It may not be easy to enforce a patcking charge notice - but in this instance since the "penalty" charge is only £15 if paid promptly for a £12 normal fee that seems reasonable and since a DVLA check will probably provide an address which matches with the OP's wife, and its not beyond the capabilities of the NHS to match this to the HR database and shift worked to demonstrate that on the balance of probability (all that is required) that the OPs wife was the "offender".
The good news for the OPs wife is winter is coming and so the liklihood of the security / parking staff wandering round in the cold, dark and rain is lower!

The previous government seemed to positively encourage it.
(Good rant, though I'd have suggested that the culprit finds a nice big splintery stick and a nice quiet corner and sets about sodomising themselves with it).
I wonder what would happen if you had a set of plates made up than were magnetically connected to your real plates and placed over once you left the public road. Obviously illegal to drive on a public road with illegal plates, but private land? CCTV might catch you out though, but the image is often not good enough to pick up detail like number plates. Even better if the fake plates were some sort of obscene anagram.
I'm all for encouraging people to find alternative means of transport most of the time but hospitals should be treated differently which makes it a blatant money making scheme. I guess the problem is people take the piss and abuse the free parking, requiring more even more parking and administering fair free parking for all entitled would be a big task. I'd like to say we all own NHS facilities and could stage a mass abuse of the system but I'd imagine we probably don't these days with PFI schemes and the like.

Err, who's ranting, me or her? I don't work there. She (silly bugger) seemed to accept it!

Hmmm, rotating plates a la The Transporter style....
I feel the OP's pain: hospital parking (for staff and patients) is a joke. My wife has similar issues about there not being any parking on hospital grounds and resorts to parking on side streets. Luckily she cycles wherever possible, but for certain shifts there's no public transport (shameful given that it's central belt of Scotland I'm talking about).
Ninewells (Dundee) was the worst though. While she was a JHO staying in residences, I often stayed over. Public parking overnight was horrifically expensive and it was a 10-min walk in from the nearest off-site free parking, so she used to sneak my car into the residences secret underground carpark. This place was amazing: remote rollershutter doors, completely sealed underground, direct access into the residences, about 100 spaces and always at least 75% empty. I once got a ticket issued/timed at 2.30am FFS!
Gobsmacked really. Female hospital workers having to pay for their parking whilst working ON SHIFT.
If they don't they have to park elsewhere and risk potential attack?
Nevermind tickets.
Nice one. Arseholes.
