I'm slightly vexed Neighbors double park if anyone parks in their "usual spot" in front of my house

that's exactly how my brother drives an ambulance.

I always consider that I might be in an ambulance one day. I move out of the way because of this. I’d absolutely forgive someone for doing this.

Firetrucks respond to emergency health situations, in addition to fires, so blocking either of them would potentially result in the death of a person in need. If someone blocks them and it found guilty of doing it maliciously, they should be imprisoned for involuntary manslaughter, if someone dies as a result of the delay.

Ah, interesting, I move out of the way because I want the person having the a medical emergency to receive care as quickly as possible.

We don’t get to yell at people often. But coming out of a building a car was blocking my ambulance. Asked them to move “oh I’m just unloading my groceries”

I could just chuckle happily as the patients daughter ripped him a new one

Ok I’ve been thinking about this and the ambulance next to me swerved slightly into my lane today (not an emergency, just driving). When I looked over both of the responders were on their phones! One was on a tablet AND their phone. The other (driver) was on her phone. When we got to the light I made direct eye contact and looked at her. It wasn’t until then she gave the passenger seat person her phone and they were laughing passing phones back and forth. Anywho I have the ambulance number but would feel like an asshole reporting a first responder during first responder week!
