MANCHESTER, England — A paramedic crew found a rude note left on their ambulance when they returned from treating a patient.

Yahoo reported that the paramedics responded to a 911 call and when they went back to their ambulance, they found a note that insulted them for blocking a driveway.

“Thanks for blocking me in a--hole. Just took me 20 mins to try and shunt out of drive along pavement,” the note read. “So inconsiderate… whole road empty and block driveway. You’re an a--hole and I’m going to be late for work thanks to you d---head.’

The North West Ambulance Service shared the note on Twitter.

“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,” the agency said.

The ambulance service also launched a campaign calling for people to pledge their support for first responders, with the hashtag #GetBehind999.
