    Ambulance on emergency call told not to block a mans drive

    Does this shit happen elsewhere in the world?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...ngham-41953644

    Personally I think the ambulance service should boycott the address of the moron who wrote that note
    Everyone kept saying MoP was shit, but it started at 10M subs. It's big loss was by months 4-6 into MoP, the total loss across those 6 months was only 1.7M compared to WoD losing 2.9M in HALF THE FUCKING TIME. 3 months passed and WoD loses 2.9M players. This is not due to "MMOs dying", but because Warlords of Draenor is a garbage expansion. Cata also lost 2.9M subs across the entire expansion. MoP lost 3.2M across the entire expansion. WoD lost 4.6 Million 7 months after it launched!

    My girlfriend just told me about this earlier, what a fucking idiot.

    On another note, why is this in the wow general forum?

    If you read the note in a Brummie accent, the idiocy is less surprising.

    I mean if you have somewhere to be and are suddenly blocked in that could be a tad annoying, though given he had to walk out and passively aggressively stick a note to the ambulance I'd doubt it.

    The correct response isn't to write them a passive-aggressive note, it's to let the air out of their tires on them! That'll teach everyone involved!

    Ambulance is blocking the driveway of the doctor who is called in on his day off to save the person whom the ambulance is bringing.

    Yes a super rare, most likely once in a life time chance of happening, but having the Dr. already at the hospital and ready is better than him showing up off the street. Just my 2 cents. Again, that is why they ask them to attempt to not block driveways. It is a good practice to have, even though it may very rarely come into play.

    Breaking news, there are selfish assholes who care only about themselves in the world. We will be back with more breaking news with such stories as water is wet and fire is hot at 11.

    Did the ambulance have its blue light (or what blinking color they use in emergency) on? If not the ambulance need to follow the normal traffic rules.....like not block a mans drive....

    I don't see how that's being a fucking idiot. If I'd tell my boss that I'm late to work because someone blocked my drive they wouldn't believe me and think I'm making up excuses. Could have consequences for the person whose drive was blocked off.

    Then the problem lies with the person not finding a better job.

    You do realize in that stupid example you gave, the doctor would arrive at around the same time as the ambulance anyway?

    And also, the doctor could be right there with the patient in the ambulance rendering more professional aid.

    I thought alt-righters love to rave about how jobs grow on trees? So here's my callous response: learn how to negotiate with your boss or find a better job. Pick up better skills and exercise that personal responsibility your ilk likes to harp and preach when people experience misfortune beyond their control.

    Stop spewing your alt-righter bullshit everywhere. I'm a centrist, not alt-right.

    Easier to get a new job than it is to get a new life.

    An ambulance blocking your driveway is a momentary inconvenience.
    Dying because the ambulance couldn't find a place to park is a bit more permanent.
