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?

Why do so many posters start talking about using excrement as revenge on threads like this ? It's quite weird.

What an absolutely hideous person. I would report this harassment to the police immediately. Ugh. I hope you are recovered very soon.

I actually have the rage after reading this. I would play the long game, join her art class and then let her fellow artists k ow exactly what she did.

It doesn't seem like this was an emergency so maybe the ambulance could've parked with more consideration. As space wasn't at a premium they could've moved a few feet to accommodate the angry neighbour.
My cousin is an ambulance-driver but has less sense than he was born with.
I'd pass the neighbour's letter on to the ambulance service for them to respond to; you have way too much to deal with besides this. Hope you're feeling much better.

I think she's caused a breach of the peace and you need to contact the police. Ask DH to ring 101 and explain the situation and the fact that she interrupted paramedics doing their jobs. Police will probably pop round and have a chat with her.

This is quite truly one of the most awful examples of human behaviour ice read on here.
I would photocopy her letter, write a small piece stating what the ambulance driver said and add what she said to your daughter and laminate several copies.
Then I would pin them up around your village and make sure the whole community knows who they live with.

Call it a public service announcement.

How old is she? Friend's mum has dementia and has a real problem with people parking outside. My friend was mortified when her 67 year old mother started scratching cars. Does she have a DP? Maybe a reasonable word with him? I had an unreasonable neighbour who I could not speak to. I had a quiet word with her husband and whatever he said she stopped being a witch.

Wasn't an emergency?? They wouldn't be sitting there with blue lights still on if it wasn't.
Also they were paramedics not 'ambulance drivers', you don't call a police officer a 'police car driver'.

Ignore her completely, don't let her into your life, don't give her head space just concentrate on getting better.

Spermysextowel, a spinal cord infection with leaking cerebrospinal fluid is an emergency. If you were in massive pain and being carefully manoeuvred into an ambulance, would you want the paramedics to drop everything to move the ambulance for some made neighbour who wasn't being obstructed by it in any way?

This was absolutely an emergency - how could this NOT be classed as an emergency? . The paramedics seemed to agree too.

Dementia? IME most demented people do not have the cognitive organisational skills to write a coherent letter. Personality disorder or just plain 'weird' fits the bill better.

nutella, OP's medical problems are longstanding and not did not pop up for the purposes of this thread.

If I were you I would:

1. get my partner to log it with non-emergency police (some forces will allow you to do this via email which would not take much time.
2. write a thank you to your super paramedic team.
3. ignore the deranged neighbour from now on. After that, put it aside and concentrate on you & your family. Don't give her any of the space in your head.

How are you doing? Are the kids allowed to visit?

Take care

Spermysextowel "It doesn't seem like this was an emergency so maybe the ambulance could've parked with more consideration."

WTF? How could it NOT be an emergency? What's the matter with you? I suppose the OP would have had to be on fire as well before you deemed it an emergency!

Hope you are recovering OP. I would write a -tongue-in-cheek- letter of apology for any inconvenience caused to all your neighbours explaining the severity of your condition, and naming and shaming your taunt of a ndn and her nasty vicious complaint about the emergency services.

Twunt, not taunt

I would log it with 101 too. She sounds like an entitled bitch.

I would wait for,this story to appear in the Daily Fail then send them the letter as proof

Photocopy her letter and send a copy to each of the neighbours. Facebook it too.

She may have been late for her art class but she sure as hell doesn't sound like a sensitive artist.

Hope you get better soon

spermy if I had spinal fluid leaking out of my nose I'd think that was a fuckload of an emergency.

Hope you get well soon op x

I would take out an add in your local Newspaper , thanking the ambulance men for their kind assistance and saying you wish to apologize for the behaviour of your neighbour who made their job much more difficult .

I hope you're soon feeling much better x

Also they were paramedics not 'ambulance drivers', you don't call a police officer a 'police car driver'.

Bloody well said! And actually ROFL at ambulance drivers, when were they called this, in the 70s?

OP, I hope you are feeling better, I would be giving neighbour a piece of my mind. IME people that bully like this need to be stood up to! Otherwise they think they can continue.

I really hope that you are feeling better and recovering well.

Police or solicitor. So you can avoid the headache of dealing with her any further. Keep it simple & give it to someone e well enough to handle it. Concentrate on yourself

I want to say I'm amazed, but after a motorist neighbour asked the ambulance giving cpr to another neighbour who collapsed by his car to move I cant say I'd disbelieve anything anymore.

I would turn the letter over to my solicitor and the police though.

Or you could borrow my sister who would eviserate her in front of the entire street.

I don't ever advocate this usually but I would definitely be putting this on Facebook. What a truly vile individual your neighbour is.

I hope you're feeling better now
