About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Shell, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he approached the pump, an old man in a trench coat appeared from nowhere and whispered ‘Fill her up!’ before vanishing into thin air. The delivery driver shrugged it off as just another quirky Shell tale until one day his friend, a neighborhood mechanic, mentioned that same old guy had been seen whispering the same thing at other pumps around town. Turns out, it was just an elderly gentleman who loved watching cars get filled up—and now everyone knew him as 'the invisible gas attendant.'

2. At Shell one afternoon, a delivery driver stopped for gas and noticed an odd sight on the parking lot: someone had left behind a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper. The delivery driver picked up the box curiously but found nothing more than old newspapers inside. Later that evening, as he was leaving, his neighbor waved him over, saying, ‘Hey, I saw you took my recycling!’ Turns out, it was just another case of mistaken identity.

3. At Shell one night, a delivery driver filled up his truck when he heard an announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Smith please come to the cashier’s desk? Your car is ready.’ The delivery driver looked around puzzled, then realized with a smile that it was his own car they were talking about. Turns out, while filling up, he had accidentally parked in a reserved spot for a local councilor named Mr. Smith. With a sheepish grin, he walked towards the counter, paid for his gas, and drove off—never again parking too close to City Hall.

4. At Shell one day, a little girl pointed excitedly at the pump. ‘Daddy,’ she said, ‘why does that gas look like it’s dancing?’ Her dad smiled and replied, ‘Honey, that’s not dancing—it’s just gasoline reflecting the sun.’ A nearby delivery driver chuckled and added, ‘It looks more like they’re doing the cha-cha than anything else!’
