Daniel posted: "So this lovely Edinburgh parking attendant thinks it’s acceptable to swear and abuse members of the public when they get in their vehicle.
"Yes, I was parked in an area I wasn’t meant to be parked in. When asked for a supervisor this is the reaction you get.”
He continued to : “I felt shocked and disgusted that the parking attendance would speak to a member of the public like that.
“I was parked in a taxi rank dropping someone off near to the building fire at St Andrew Square as I couldn’t get near the other side of St Andrew Square.”

While Daniel admits he was wrongly parked, he says the warden's rant has led him to file a complaint with the City of Edinburgh Council.
Council bosses have confirmed they are investigating the matter with their parking contractors.
Councillor Scott Arthur, Transport and Environment Convener, said: “This behaviour does not meet the standards expected of the city’s parking attendants.
"We have raised this incident with our parking contractor, NSL, who are investigating the matter.”
