Anyone been Datixed because of parking?

Background: Normal dayshift, worked at this hospital for a long time. If you drive to this site, you have to get at least half an hour before shift start and ideally 45+ minutes because there will not be any parking spots left. Closest second locations are one near a shopping centre where you could walk from for 30ish minutes or take the P&R bus or you could park 15 minutes away by car but 5 minutes by walking around this residential street that has some available parking for anyone but you'll get grievance from the residents on your way back.

Drove in a tad bit later than I usually do and clock that there is not a lot of choice (none at all). Anywho, I see one parking spot and reached it a few seconds before another car. Parking spot was not reserved. I park and get out and the driver of the other car gets out and it is one of the ward nurses. She starts a fit and says she'll DATIX me unless I give the spot up. She says she'll be late and has priority. I said too bad but I got here first and then left.

Cue to now; I've been Datixed for patient safety.
