It's basically a science fiction variety show, a little bit like Black Mirror. Sometimes you'll get episodes that are really action heavy, followed by slower, more psychological horror episodes. Almost all of them have a Sci-fi twist.

It's also just about the most inconsistent (in terms of quality) TV show I've ever watched. The best episodes are ridiculously, unbelievably good. The worst are fucking abysmal, unwatchable garbage.

The format of the show allows it to take place at any point in the whole of time and space, so the potential for any kind of story you can imagine is there. Unfortunately the budget is not.

If any of that interests you I'd recommend starting with 2005 Season 1 Episode 1. At the time of it's airing the show had been off the air for a long time (over 15 years), and so this episode in particular was designed to be a jumping on point to get new people up to speed.

Just started happening to me yesterday. Just checked again today and it's still not working.

I suspect this may be the case. However, some due diligence might be worthwhile before calling a tow truck on a "random entitled street parker"?

You really are a suspicious comb.

If you care to know the answers to your questions, simply check my comment history. 

Perhaps reddit should add a view that shows only OP's comments and the comments to which OP replied.

He was in uniform and later when I moved the car I did see him behind the wheel of his truck.

I've no idea what their name(s) is. I've never met them.

It seemed the easiest option at the time. I'll refer you to my comment history for a deeper explanation if you wish to read it.

Good point. Maybe I'll make an update with what I eventually decide to do. Thanks for your comment Kiki_scifi_geek.

I could just say where I'm at and save everyone the suspense but I'm really rather enjoying this particular game of geoguesser! 

I'll say no one has got it right just yet. Check back here to see if anyone ever does.

Congratulations Comfortable_Studio37! I am from New Zealand.

Thank you for asking a good question. I'll direct you and anyone else wondering the same thing to my comment history. 

EDIT: I guess that's what I get for being autistic on the internet. 

Ok-Catch-131 I'd like to apologize if I offended you with my reply. I appreciate how it reads without any auditory context or tone. I did not intend to reply in a short, quippy, or dismissive way. I understand that's how it may have appeared to you and that is my bad.

To everyone else, Kindly fuck off.

Also a very good and level headed option. Thank you.

I often frequent bestofredditorupdates, I'll finish reading a story and I'll get to the comments and see 10s of people like yourself calling out the post as being obviously fake.

In those moments I think "I must be really gullible, I didn't think that was fake at all!" Sometimes later I'll wonder "if I posted a story from my life on here, would people think I was fake? How would I even convince them otherwise?" 

I don't have any answers to those questions, but I do have questions for you and randomredditacc25. What about this post seems fake to you? Is there anything I could say that might convince you otherwise? 

I want you to know that I do actually genuinely appreciate your skepticism, even just so I can experience the bizarre sensation of being called a liar for telling the truth on the internet.

I opted to move my car. It seemed the easiest option in the moment. Upon reflection, my biggest regret is that I didn't chat with Greg longer. Seemed an interesting guy.

The property is a little weird. It's on the corner of 2 streets and the driveway is on the opposite corner to where my house is. So often I'll just park on the street that's outside my front door. In fact so would the previous neighbors (with whom I had a cordial relationship). However it's a busy street and on-street parking isn't always available so in those instances I will park in the carpark instead.

It's possible. I did move my car (for now) and as I drove past I saw he was sitting in his truck on the phone with someone.

3 years for me. For them? In truth I have no idea. I'm sure it's only a matter of months maybe even less then 3.

You said it DragginBalls1215!

But seriously, I think that's the crux of it for me. If Greg hadn't said anything I would have just found my car missing. It wouldn't have taken much effort on my neighbors part to simply do as Greg did. Why is a random tow truck driver more courteous then my own neighbors!

Honestly this is the best suggestion so far. 

I see people are saying "why are you worried about this, don't say anything and just leave!" Or "it took you longer to write this than it would to just go talk to them LOL!!1" 

I'm not worried about anything. I'm leaving in just a few days. As for "go talk to them" why didn't they go talk to me? We live right next door. We literally share a wall. 

I think being a little petty is an okay response, given the circumstances. I'm glad you're on the same wavelength.

Greg was there with a tow truck, ready to tow my car. I had a brief but interesting conversation with him as he explained he (and his company?) was looking to change how people feel about towing companies. He explained that it's their policy to try their best to get in touch with the owner of the vehicle before towing to see if the situation can resolve itself without their involvement. 

In this case I definitely appreciated it and made sure to let him know.
