An angry motorist blasted paramedics for "blocking his driveway" in an angry note left on their ambulance windscreen.
The disgruntled resident, from Leicester, left a note on the windscreen reading: “You blocked my driveway. I waited 45 minutes for you to move.
"Please have some consideration where you park an ambulance! This is not the first time.”
East Midlands Ambulance Service said the paramedics were "upset" when they found the note as they returned to their vehicle during a "genuine emergency".
It added the vehicle had been parked “as considerately as possible”.
Lee Brentnall, paramedic and ambulance operations manager for Leicestershire, said: “It is so disappointing to see a rude note has yet again been left on one of our ambulances. This upsets our dedicated ambulance crews when they are trying to help our patients and do their job.
“Leaving a note will not resolve the situation as we are unlikely to see it until we are leaving in the ambulance to take the patient to hospital, or to go to our next job.”
He continued: “Our crews are approachable. If you genuinely need to leave your house urgently and we are blocking your access, please come and knock on the door where the emergency is taking place.”
“Sometimes we will be able to move the vehicle, for example if we are treating a patient but they do not need both of us there at the time.
“However, there will be times that we are treating someone experiencing a life-threatening and time-critical emergency and moving our ambulance will not be our priority. In these cases, you will need to be patient as we try to save someone’s life.”
