A paramedic has revealed a disgusting note left on her vehicle by a motorist who was enraged at having their driveway blocked for 10 minutes.
The note was discovered by Lauren Wheeler during a callout, and was scrawled in black pen, telling to to either ‘ask for permission to park or ‘f****** come out’.
Lauren, from Harlow, Essex, shared a picture of the note on social media, writing: ‘Love getting cute notes in my job.’
The note, written in block capitals in black pen, said: ‘Don’t care if you are an ambulance you can’t block people’s driveways!
‘Either ask or f****** come out when we beep the horn for ten minutes.’

Kelly Dunn responded online: ’10 minutes Lauren…10 f***** minutes!! What a gobs*****.’
Sarah Lovegrove commented: ‘Omg!! How rude. Let’s hope they never need an ambulance.’
Nina Louise Philpott agreed, writing: ‘He may need you one day!!!’
Camille Wyre posted: ‘Oh my god that’s disgusting!!!’
Lauren did not specify where the incident happened but several people on social media suggested it happened in Southend, Essex.
It is not the first instance of ambulance staff being left hateful notes.
In August, an abusive note was left on the windscreen of an ambulance parked in Luton, Bedfordshire, referring to the workers as ‘blind idiots’.
The East of England Ambulance Service posted a picture of the note on their social media saying: ‘Is your parking space really more important than a neighbour’s life?’
In December last year, an ambulance in Manchester was left with an abusive note filled with expletives.
The unknown writer complained that they would be late for work.
A North West Ambulance Service spokeswoman said the abuse was ‘absolutely uncalled for’ and said ‘our patients are our number one priority’.
She added: ‘This note was left on an ambulance today in Manchester whilst ambulance clinicians were treating a critically ill patient.
‘We hate to get in the way but the needs of our patients are our number one priority and abuse like this is absolutely uncalled for.’
