Turn your damn siren off, I can't use my mobile!

“Random Acts Of Reality” is a blog that is really worth reading. This guy from London Ambulance Service is just able to reflect many moments that mirror our behavior in some emergency situations, even human stupidity, and moreover many of his entries can be used for educational purposes.

Can you imagine the ambulance response...
We are driving along on blue lights and sirens, traffic is heavy and we are on our way to a potentially life-threatening call. From the side of the road we see a member of the public gesticulating angrily at us. He is shouting, swearing and indicating something to us. He is angry because our sirens are so loud they are disrupting his mobile phone call. Obviously a more important phone call than our emergency journey. One member of this ambulance crew may well have made a rude hand signal at this pillock, I wouldn't like to say which one.

disrupt = to make it difficult for sth to continue in the normal way

pillock = a stupid person

The grammatical reason why I chose this is present simple he used while telling his story. Using this tense is one of the ways, the easier one, of telling a story. We have the same in Czech (Jedeme s modrými světly a sirénami, doprava je rušná a jsme na cestě….) but don't use it often.
