Hell Doesn’t Want Her Either

Kirsty Sharman, 26, of Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, England, was incensed that someone had parked by her house. She put a note on the vehicle saying, among other things, “you have no right to be parked here” and “NOW MOVE YOUR VAN”. The “van” in question: an ambulance — medics were aiding one of Sharman’s neighbors who had breathing problems. She “couldn’t give a [expletive] if the whole street collasped,” she also said in the note, and when Sharman saw a medic, she cussed him out and demanded he move. He tore up her note. The patient survived. Described as the “neighbour from hell,” Sharman is well known on the street. “Hardly a week has gone by when somebody hasn’t called the police regarding her actions,” said a neighbor, though on the other hand, Sharman “brought everyone else on the street together as a community” — to get rid of her. And now they have: a magistrate ruled that Sharman’s actions were “despicable,” fined her 285 pounds (US$400) including court costs, and ordered her house boarded up for three months, during which time no one can go inside. Her landlord says that when that time is up, she will not be allowed to return. (RC/Stoke-on-Trent Sentinel) ...So now she can go bring together another community.
