High Street Petrol Station

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to High Street Petrol Station and noticed something peculiar in the station’s trash bin—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he took it inside and placed it carefully on the counter. The manager opened it cautiously, revealing a note that read: 'Free donuts for everyone today!' Turned out, a local bakery had accidentally packed an extra dozen with their usual delivery. The whole town ended up having a free breakfast, and ever since, ‘High Street Petrol Station’ became known as the place where unexpected treats appeared.

2. One day, an anxious neighbor rushed into the station yelling into his phone: ‘I’m stuck in traffic on High Street—can you pump my gas remotely?!’ The attendant looked confused for a moment, then grinned and replied, 'No problem, sir! Just hold tight.' He quickly ran inside, grabbed a remote control from behind the counter, and pressed a button. A few seconds later, a robotic arm emerged from the garage, expertly filling up the car's tank. The neighbor laughed and said, 'Wow, that's amazing technology!' The attendant just smiled and said, 'Yup, we're always thinking of ways to make life easier around here.'

3. One night, while closing up shop, the attendant heard an urgent announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, customers! Due to an unexpected shortage, our gas pumps are now dispensing only half-gallons per fill-up.’ Confused and amused, the attendant shrugged it off as a technical glitch. But when everyone started filling their tanks again, they noticed something odd—everyone’s car seemed to be running just fine on those tiny half-gallon fills! Word spread quickly around town, and soon enough, High Street became famous for its magical ‘half-gallon miracle.’ A delivery driver even joked that his truck was now getting twice the mileage it used to. The station owner laughed it off, saying, 'Maybe we should keep this little secret for ourselves.'

4. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he swore he saw a ghostly figure standing in the gas pump shadows. Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing. Shrugging it off, he finished pumping and walked inside. Later that night, while filling up his car, he noticed an old man smiling at him from behind the counter. ‘That’s strange,’ thought the driver. Turns out, the ‘ghost’ was just a regular who frequented the station after closing hours.’
