About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Mobil, an old man noticed something strange. As he pumped gas into his car, a soft humming sound filled the air—like bees buzzing in unison with each click of the nozzle. The old man looked around suspiciously but saw nobody else noticing anything unusual. Curious, he leaned closer and realized that the hum was coming from his own stomach—a growl matching perfectly every beep of the pump. He laughed out loud, embarrassed yet amused, and whispered to himself, ‘Guess I’m hungry too!’

2. One afternoon, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at Mobil, he heard a faint humming sound coming from inside the gas pump. Curious, he peered closer and saw a small, glowing beetle dancing around the nozzle. The driver watched in amazement for a moment before deciding to capture the strange creature on his phone. The video quickly went viral online, with everyone laughing at the tiny dancer. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Mobil, people would joke, ‘That’s where the dancing beetle hangs out!’

3. While pumping gas one night, a young woman asked her friend: ‘Do you think gas stations can talk when no one’s around?’ Suddenly, the Mobil sign above flickered ominously. Suddenly, a voice boomed from the speakers: 'Fill ’er up or get out!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just an old Mobil ad from the 80s. The sign stopped flickering, and everything went back to normal—except for the occasional joke about talking gas pumps.

4. While pumping gas one day, a tourist from out of town noticed that every time he paid with his card, the cashier greeted him by name—even though it seemed like everyone else got a generic hello. Curious, our tourist asked the cashier how he knew his name. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'Oh, Mr. Smith, we've been watching you fill up here for months!' Turns out, the Mobil station had a secret surveillance program tracking frequent customers' purchases—until one day they accidentally played the footage on the TV screen during rush hour, making everyone laugh.
