About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, a curious child would often stop by the Mobil station. One evening, as the kid approached the gas island, the pump nozzle seemed to twitch, as if it were waving hello. The kid leaned in closer, and suddenly the nozzle squirted out a tiny stream of gasoline—just enough to paint a smiley face on the ground. The neighbor, walking his dog, stopped to laugh and exclaimed, 'Looks like old Mobil's having a good day!' And from that moment on, whenever anyone filled up, they’d see a little smiley face appearing under the pump.

2. Late one evening, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, something strange caught his eye—a shadowy figure reflected in the window, reaching for the nozzle. Curious, the driver glanced around but saw nobody outside. He finished pumping and walked towards the car, only to hear a familiar voice from behind him: ‘Hey, thanks for noticing that—I almost forgot my phone!’ It was just his neighbor, who’d parked next to him.}

3. Late one evening, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station for gas. As he pumped fuel into his truck, he noticed something odd: the reflection of the neon sign seemed to move slightly, as if someone was waving from inside. Curious, he finished pumping and approached the glass door. To his surprise, it opened from within, revealing no one but an empty counter. He laughed it off, thinking maybe the neon light played tricks on him after all those hours on the road. That night, whenever he passed that Mobil station, he’d wave back at the empty reflection—just in case.

4. Late one evening, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station for gas. As he approached the pump, he noticed something odd—a small, dusty box had appeared on the otherwise empty parking lot. Curious, he walked over and opened it—inside was just an old cassette tape labeled ‘Best Hits of the Decade.’ The driver shrugged, popped it in his car stereo, and drove off with a smile. Turns out, every time someone needed gas after dark, they’d find a new mix-tape in that box, each one more entertaining than the last.
