One metre away from parking in a legal spot - tick
Blocking access to/from start of shared footpath/cyle lane (not obvious but that's a dropped kerb) - tick
Abusive, shouty reaction when politely pointed out - tick
"I don't care" shouted repeatedly then screamed "I've got to get my nurses to their appointments on time". Repeat.
Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust - pleased I'm not one of her patients.
I was embarrassed for the poor (junior) nurse in the car with her.

Thats worthy of reporting tonthe trust. Unless they're rushing in to give someone CPR they should be parking safely and lawfully.
Id question their ability to make potentially life saving decisions regarding patient care it they cant manage something as simple as that.

Probably will say that there's nothing wrong with the parking, like H&W fire service did.

Garforth I think?
If it is where I think it is that shared access is poor, when I come through the junction I stay on the road as there's no provision for rejoining the road if you use the shared space.
It is, top of Main Street. I come from Barrowby Lane rather than through the junction via the main road so it's a more natural line - and then hop back onto the road when there's a suitable gap!
I saw something hilarious today.
There's an old bloke lives round the corner from me, I sometimes talk to him when he's walking his dog, and he seems perfectly normal.
Most of the time he parks his car on the road rather than the driveway, and this afternoon I see him get into his car watched by his wife, as he drives away she dips behind the garden wall and pulls out a traffic cone which she places on the public highway where he was parked.
I've just come back from walking the dog and it's still there. 😂

There is a newsagents near to my work, the shopkeeper cones off the entire area around his shop every day, at least two car lengths. The thing is, he doesn't actually even park there I just think he doesn't want anyone parking outside his shop!

I’ve done exactly that, and more than once!
People nick ‘no waiting’ cones from the council and think they can reserve the road outside their house. One time I did manage to get the damn thing jammed under the car and had to find a side street with a speed cushion to dislodge it. 😂
I'm tempted to keep moving it every time I see it, only by about 5' or so, just to mess with her. 😂
