About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious but cautious, he got out and followed the noise until he found it: an old radio playing non-stop, its volume so low you could barely hear it. As he approached, the voice on the radio suddenly said, 'And now, for your listening pleasure, another commercial break!' The delivery driver burst into laughter, realizing it was just an old-timey ad station. He turned off the radio, paid for his gas with a smile, and drove away, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll never be late for work because of that place again.’

2. While filling up one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty guitar case propped against the gas pump. Curious, he picked it up—it played itself when touched, humming an unfamiliar tune. Intrigued, he strummed a few chords and found himself whistling along. Suddenly, the guitar started singing 'Happy Birthday' in perfect pitch—even though today was nobody’s birthday. Turns out, it was programmed to celebrate everyone who filled up on Thursdays. The delivery driver grinned, thinking maybe BP had hired a prankster for some goodwill.

3. A little girl walked into the BP station, her eyes wide with wonder as she pointed at the cash register. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that machine make funny noises when you put money in?’ The mother smiled and explained gently, 'Honey, it's not a machine—it's a friendly robot named Mr. Beep. He just wants to say hello!' The little girl giggled and waved at Mr. Beep, who flashed his lights in reply. A nearby delivery driver chuckled and said, “That’s our Mr. Beep—always making friends.”

4. At night, when the pumps were silent, a faint humming sound would occasionally drift from inside the BP station. Noises like that usually go unnoticed, but this one had a peculiar rhythm—a soft, almost soothing melody that no employee could quite place. One day, an old man walked in and asked the attendant, ‘Do you mind if I sit here for a while?’ The worker nodded, curious about the strange visitor. Minutes later, everyone was startled as the man began humming along with the mysterious tune. It turned out he’d been practicing his ukulele cover of ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ every evening at the same spot. Since then, the BP became known not just for gas, but also for its impromptu karaoke sessions.
