About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was unloading boxes when he noticed something peculiar. The shadows in Stanton Optical seemed to follow him around the room, shifting every time he moved. Curious, he stopped and turned, only to see his shadow had morphed into a comically exaggerated version of himself—arms too long, legs too short, wearing an expression that clearly said ‘what the heck am I doing here?’ Eventually, after much laughter from both man and shadow, the delivery driver realized it was just another quirky optical illusion.

2. In Stanton Optical’s dimly lit hallway, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he carried boxes past an old mirror. ‘Why does everything look so… crooked today?’ As he placed the last box on the counter, he noticed something odd—his reflection seemed to be wearing someone else’s glasses. Turning around, he saw that every mirror in the store had swapped frames mid-air, creating a kaleidoscope of confused faces. With a laugh, he decided it was just another quirky day at Stanton Optical.

3. In Stanton Optical’s dusty storeroom, an elderly gentleman adjusted his glasses and frowned at a strange humming sound. No one else seemed to notice it, but he swore it grew louder each day. Finally, one morning, the old man exclaimed, ‘Enough!’ He marched into the shop, startling everyone with his announcement: ‘I’ve found the source—you’re all wearing slightly different shades of glasses!’ Turning to the delivery driver, he grinned, ‘And none of you even noticed!’

4. In Stanton Optical’s cluttered storage room, an old crate caught a delivery driver's eye. Curious, he lifted the lid—and found himself staring into a pair of spectacles that seemed to wink back. The glasses had a mischievous glint in their lenses, as if they were laughing at him. The delivery driver put them on and suddenly everything around him looked slightly askew—his colleague appeared to be wearing someone else’s hat, while the ceiling tiles seemed to dance like ballerinas. Startled, he removed the glasses, only to realize his own reflection was now wearing them with a knowing smile. That evening, a regular customer remarked, ‘You look like you’ve seen a ghost today.’ To which the delivery driver replied, ‘Not exactly, but something definitely tried to trick my eyes!’
