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?

Ring the non emergency police number and say that you just want to report it and have it recorded as she seems a bit unhinged. They are really very good about that kind of thing. It's not wasting the police time, especially if they don't feel they need to attend. But it makes sure it's recorded and there if it should escalate.

Gosh, no, keep the letter! Keep it very safe.

Does anyone know if the ambulance service log incidents like this? I know that in nursing we have to complete incident forms every time something like this happens to protect us from people who behave aggressively. Along with the letter she wrote you have all the evidence you need so I think you can just put it from your mind safe in the knowledge you can take action if you need to.
Hope you feel better soon.

Whatever else you do, you definitely should write to the Ambulance service, praising them to the skies and taking care to detail exactly what they had to cope with from the neighbour. Use words like "professional".

I wouldn't put it past Neighbour From Hell to write a complaint about them, too, and your letter would help counter that.
Hope you're feeling much better

What an absolute fucking cunt!!

Def think the solution is an envelope full of glitter!

What a cow! I hate my parking space being used by people BUT wouldn't bat an eyelash if it was an ambulance/fire/police!
I would of course offer any help to my neighbour.
And have done in the past for my neighbours very poorly child.
Just hope one day it isn't them that need help and get abuse because of it (even though in your op the ambulance wasnt).
Hope you are feeling better soon

Does the neighbour live alone ? If she has a partner, it would be interesting to see if s/he is embarrassed or uneasy about her attitude. Vile person to have next door. Get well.

I'd definitely social media it with a copy of the letter (shaming her and praising ambulance service) and share it everywhere.

I'd say nothing to her.

Print the letter in the local paper.
Or
Join her art class and paint a beautiful fresco of her letter.

Wow, this woman is a bitch

The police may well be interested. We had a similar incident in our street recently. Elderly neighbour had fallen and broken her leg, paramedics were attending. Twunt woman who lives next door to her kicked off as ambulance parked half over her drive. Paramedics asked her several times to calm down and eventually called the police. She was given a caution, everyone in the street knows about it and she now keeps a v low profile.

Hope you are feeling better soon OP and don't give her too much head space.

Article in the local paper with you and your DC doing a sad face regarding the lack of neighbourliness in the area these days...

We had a similar incident recently where my dad was taken very ill and an emergency ambulance was sent for him, his street is narrow and due to parked cars the ambulance had no choice but to temporarily obstruct it. They had dad in the ambulance and some bitch turned up ranting and raving that she couldn't get past and wanted to go out. Apparently they had a table booked for dinner, the poor lambs. Paramedic told them they would move once my very unwell dad was stable and she started harping on about it being illegal to block a road and she would ring the police. Paramedic cheerily told her to go right ahead. My sister had to physically restrain me from lamping the compassionless cunt.

Honestly, people are horrible. Take the note to the police and log it as harassment. Cow.

Are these people even fucking human??????

I agree with others who said it would be a good idea to take the letter to the police and have it logged as harassment.

Glitter bomb.

I'd park across her drive....

Regularly...

Some pople have such a sense of entitlement, its unbelieveable! I am so sorry your neighbour felt this was an acceptable thing to do when you were being taken off in an ambulance with your young children present. Though, even if they weren't, its still unacceptable.
I really like notquitegrownup2 letter. Calm and to the point. Just make sure you keep the letter she sent you, with details of date and time, and a copy of the letter you send her.

Shame nobody filmed her.

Ooh look!

Nothing you could do or say will make any difference.
The cockerel idea sounds attractive, or could your children take up drums and the violin?
Hope things improve for you.

Well done Madame for finding this - it makes interesting reading!- yes, looks like she's committed a criminal offence under this act. The fact that the paramedics had to deal with her, rather then attending to your needs OP, is clearly obstructing them in carrying out their duties.

I'm so sorry to hear of your pain and send get well wishes too. what a rotten situation this bitch neighbour has put you all in and as a Mum of a DD who was always being taken to hospital I know of the stress when idiots do not understand the situation. IF ever your neighbour kicks off again try and record it on your phone and then maybe the aggressor will have a taste of what it feels like to be a victim. (alternatively wait till she's out and squirt the word c* on her lawn with bleach

I love that paramedic's response!
