About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station, a regular shouted one morning: ‘Hey, did you see that guy filling up with gas and then walking into the convenience store?’ The next day, everyone watched as another customer disappeared inside after paying for their fuel. 'Maybe they just forgot something,' someone said. But every time after that, people vanished without a trace—only appearing again later, seemingly none the wiser. Finally, an old delivery driver asked curiously, ‘I’ve been coming here for years… why do you always disappear when you go in there?’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just the cashier playing a prank on them every time. From then on, whenever anyone went missing, everyone knew exactly where to look—they were probably just getting a free coffee from behind the counter.

2. At the Shell station, an early-morning jogger stumbled upon something peculiar. As he pumped past the pumps, he noticed the gas attendant whispering into thin air. Curious, the jogger slowed down and asked what he was saying. The attendant turned around with a smile and replied, ‘Just talking to my new AI friend—she says I should try that electric car over there.’ The jogger laughed and continued his run, shaking his head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own coffee!’

3. At the Shell station, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her dad: ‘Look, Daddy, it’s talking!’ The attendant raised an eyebrow as he filled up another car. The father chuckled gently, bending down to her level. ‘No, sweetheart,’ he said softly, pointing towards the sign above the pump that read “Fueling Since 1952.” She giggled, understanding dawned in her eyes, and she nodded with a smile. Meanwhile, the attendant finished pumping gas and asked the father, grinning, “Guess you’ll be needing some childproof locks on those pumps next time?”

4. At the Shell station, a delivery driver exclaimed one afternoon: ‘I just saw a squirrel fill up its tail with gas!’ The attendant laughed and shook his head, replying, ‘Must’ve been that pesky squirrel from next door again!’ And so, the story became a neighborhood joke, with everyone laughing whenever they filled up their tanks at Shell.
