A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station late one night, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Next customer will receive a free tank of gas… if they can guess the exact number of stars in our constellation poster!’ The delivery driver scratched his head and asked the next customer, a sleepy-looking neighbor, for help. Together they counted until dawn, only to discover that the sign had a big red zero on it—‘Free Tank if You Guess Zero Stars!’ They both laughed so hard they almost forgot to pay for their actual gas.

2. At Shell gas station early morning, a delivery driver filled up and noticed something strange: every time he stopped, an old man appeared from nowhere, nodded knowingly, then vanished into thin air. Finally, after weeks of seeing him, the driver decided to thank the ghostly figure. ‘Thank you for your help,’ he said as the old man materialized once more. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, ‘It’s my pleasure, son. Just remember to top off your tank!’ And with that, he disappeared again, leaving the driver smiling at his friendly neighborhood spirit.

3. At dawn, when most stations were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled into Shell for coffee. The attendant asked him if he’d seen the strange lights over by the pumps. The delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Nah, didn’t notice anything.’ He took his coffee and left. Later that week, everyone in town saw those same lights again—except they turned out to be just an old satellite dish someone had set up next to the pumps. Moral of the story? Don’t believe everything you hear at Shell!’

4. At Shell gas station in the middle of the night, a delivery driver stopped for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he overheard a voice coming from inside the station: ‘Did you know that if you stand exactly here, facing the old clock, your phone will show two minutes slower than everywhere else?’ Intrigued, the driver tried it and sure enough—his phone showed two minutes behind everyone else’s. Smiling, he asked aloud, ‘So what time is it really?’ A quiet voice replied, ‘It’s always five minutes past the truth.’ The next morning, his neighbor joked, ‘Hey, did you hear? Your watch lost ten minutes last night!’
