About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP for a quick clean. As he waited, an old man walked in, wearing a tattered hat and carrying a dog leash. Without a word, he began washing another car—completely free of charge. The delivery driver watched curiously as the old man finished cleaning the car with a smile on his face. Turning around, the stranger simply nodded and left without saying goodbye. From then on, whenever someone needed their car washed at BP, it would mysteriously get cleaned for free—until one day when an especially dirty van arrived. A neighbor joked, ‘Maybe that nice old guy is still out there somewhere, but I bet he’s too busy laughing at our attempts!’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations were quiet, an old man arrived at BP with his dog. The canine seemed more interested in the hose than getting washed. As he approached the car wash, the old man noticed a delivery driver laughing and pointing at something on the ground. Picking up a discarded towel, he casually wiped off the windshield—leaving behind a perfect imprint of the dog’s paw print. Smiling, he said to no one in particular, ‘Guess who’ll be coming back here tomorrow?’

3. At night, after closing hours, a mysterious voice began announcing over BP’s intercom: ‘Your car is cleaner than your conscience.’ Employees shrugged it off as a prank until customers started pulling in just to hear what would be said next. One day, an old man walked in and asked curiously, ‘What does that mean exactly?’ The attendant replied, laughing, ‘Who knows? But now everyone comes here just to listen!’ Finally, someone whispered into the mic, ‘Wash your heart, not just your wheels,’ causing everyone to burst out laughing—including the old man, who drove away with a smile.

4. At dusk, while waiting in line at BP, a regular muttered under his breath: ‘I swear I saw that same soap bubble following me from last week.’ Finally, an old delivery driver leaned over and whispered with a twinkle in his eye: ‘That’s no ordinary bubble, mate. It’s probably just trying to tell you it loves you.’
