To be furious with my witch of a neighbour

[Choccybadger]

I am fuming. Any of you who know me on here know I have had several years of invasive spinal surgery. At the moment I have a spinal cord infection and am leaking cerebrospinal fluid from my nose. So not only got hideous back pain but also worst headache I've ever had.
My lovely ambulance came to take me to hospital last night. Given the nature of my illness/injury, the paramedics took a while to settle me comfortably and safely in position.
I live on a well to do street. Each house has at least an acre and a driveway to fit 6 cars. My ambulance last night was hanging probably 6-8 inches on to neighbours' path. It had big letters saying Emergency Ambulance and blue light flashing (but no siren). There could have been no mistake about what was going on. I was stretchered out on gas and air and they clearly had to strap me in etc.
Hellbitch neighbor was shrieking at paramedics whilst I was strapped in and on said gas and air, that they were in her way, she couldn't get her car out and would be late for art class.
Paramedic, beautiful soul, told her the severity of injury, that she could get two buses out of her path and if she didn't stop harassing and swearing at them he would report her for obstruction of emergency vehicle access.
She shut up and walked off muttering under her breath.
My husband was told this morning l have osteomyelitis in the spine/query cord infection. He arrived home to find the absolute TWUNT next door has posted a letter through our door saying we are entitled to live our lives as we wish, but should not 'encroach' on her path, even 'by yhe merest of inches'. She wrote 'the circumstances, though unfortunate, are not relevant to their right to use their path as and when they wish'

So now, I'm wondering what to do/ say.

All suggestions gratefully received.

My own idea to post fresh dog turds through her letterbox has been vetoed by my hosbondo
Help me please. I hate her at the moment. Oh, did I mention she did this in front of my 3 crying children, frantic about mummy going to hospital again and apparently told my middle DD to stop snivelling while she spoke to paramedic. Paramedic told her she was a disgusting example of a human adult. Advice?

I would probably openly name and shame her by posting the letter on social media to let everyone know what a twat she was and applaud the ambulance service for their patient and professional service. Post on all your local area sites/twitter. Also make it the local gossip by talking with your neighbours. I'm not usually like that, my advice in 99% of things like this is ignore and let the bitter witch stew in her own pool of dickishness, but her attitude is abysmal and cruel.

I am not normally an advocate of the name and shame/sadface picture but in this instance I think that "This is what my NDN sent to me the day after verbally abusing me, my children and the paramedics who trying to get me to hospital as quickly as possible"

I had a dural tap headache after a fucked up epidural, the pain was beyond imaging, so the pain you were in must have in unendurable. I hope that you recover asap

If you dont want to name and shame her yourself then I am on Twitter and Fb and am happy to post if for you!

I agree with TwatbadgingCuntfuckery (I can't believe I've just said that...)

Go to the police.

The paramedics around here would have tasered her.

"Further to your attempt to obstruct the emergency services on , thank you for providing written evidence of your poor behaviour and appalling attitude. We will of course keep this safe so as to support our case in the event of any further harassment.
Yours sincerely, X"

I'd write a reply (a mixture of pome90210 and Giraffes) then photocopy her original letter and your reply and post it through the door of everyone on the street and on social media ( as TheWit said including a thank you to the paramedics). This is the one time I'm hoping the daily fail are trawling!

As for turds etc. - don't. You don't want to look like she managed to drag you down to your level. Contact a tabloid - DM, The Sun, etc. Tell them the story. Let them publish the letters.
The vultures from DM who are monitoring DM should once in their lives do a non-despicable deed and hlp you. Bet the neighbour will never forget it.

to HER level, of corse

I agree a polite letter combining pome90210 and Giraffe's suggestions. Don't take revenge, don't swear at her. She is an utterly vile human being and therefore will always be miserable. That will end up being her punishment in the long run.

This! And send it to the local paper too!

How about copying the letter and sticking it to all of the lamp posts in the street with a header explaining "This is the letter I received from Mrs X at Number # after I was recently blue lighted to hospital. For the avoidance of doubt there was more than sufficient space for her to mover her vehicle off her drive. Nice to see kidness and compassion is alive and well in [insert name of street]"

Seriously though you can't argue with stupid and someone that thoughtless will never see the error of their ways. Best to ignore and just throw her disdainful looks whenever you see her.

I did laugh at the PPs suggestion of getting a cockerel. A neighbour of ours had one last year and it's a special kind of hell!

Depends what you want to do - 2 incidents (the ambulance and the letter) constitutes harassment and you could also report it as a disability hate crime.

Or you could bake a cake for the paramedics and laugh about it.

Send copies of it to your neighbours to have a laugh at.

Post it on here.

Send it tot he write stuff.

Can you post copies of the note through all your neighbour's doors? Add a covering note asking whether they all feel the same about an emergency ambulance so you can ensure it doesn't inconvenience them if it happens in the future.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I wouldn't involve the police.

I would write back pointing out it wasn't you but an ambulance on her path. Tell her to take it up with them if she wishes. Say that you will not be bullied or subjected to abuse by her and if she contacts you again in such a manner you will look to having a restraining order placed on her. I would be tempted to make some reference to her behaving like a shrieking harpy!

I would keep her letter as evidence and start keeping a journal of any batshit behaviour.

FFS I'm pretty sure an ambulance can park anywhere they please in order to be closest to a casualty (though they try to be considerate).
On the last occasion we had to call one for DM it had to block three driveways (ours and NDN in its entirety, and across the street neighbour as road is narrow and driveways are staggered). Not one person complained.
I second the social media route, but also contact your local paper (and the DM will just follow it up steal it from there)

She certainly sounds like a bit of a nutter, but, just to play devils advocate for a moment, you did briefly mention your dogs bark... how loud and how often are they barking?
There's a lane near me with large houses on large plots similar in size to yours, one house has several dogs which I'm guessing must be in some kind of outdoor enclosure or run (you can't even see it the grounds are so big) but you can hear them barking from at least a quarter of a mile away.
Still no excuse for her behaviour.

It would be a waste of police time tbh.
What a total cunt - poor you having such neighbours as well as awful health problems.
What to do?
Name and shame is the way forward.

This is harassment I would ask the police to have a word

I am sorry but one conversation with the paramedics, and one letter does not constitute harrassment.
Besides the police will not be able to charge her with anything will they?
So it would be on the level of 'telling the teacher' tbh.
On the other hand, obviously keep a diary in case there are any further incidents.

I would say given this came about as a direct result of your disability that this is possibly a hate crime. Report it to the police as such and they will be around pretty sharpish to her with a stark warning not to do the same again unless she wants to get into serious trouble.

What a cow.

Mixture of Giraffe/Pom'a approach here too.

Don't do anything on social media it will be stressful and you've got enough going on.

Hope you feel better soon.

Glitterbomb her.

Record all dates etc and send a copy to Ambulance services explaining the incident. Report to council maybe & ask for advice?

Nasty bitch.

She sounds like my neighbour (who has since passed away). She used to pick certain times to kick off ours stemed from when someone parked too close to her drive and she assumes it was a friend of ours it's wasn't which we explained but shed marked our card...
Anyway loads of occasions but worse ones were sending police round when she knew my toddler ill, kicking off on the midwife the day after my baby was born, sending weird notes to our house and putting them on friends cars too.
In the end after she sent the police round for the third time which they explained to us we hadn't done anything wrong but they wanted to sort out the situation we told them and her that if there were anymore notes or visits from the police we would put a complaint in for harassment and seek legal advice.
She was a very sad bitter person - I suspect your neighbour is the same. Be tough but don't give it too much head space she simply does not deserve it- concentrate on yourself and your health you Dh can deal with her

Weed killer, at night, spray BITCH on her lawn, will take a few days to kill the grass but so worth it.
