About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Exxon station, a regular complained one morning: 'Why does it always rain just when I’m filling up?' The next day, sure enough, as soon as he started pumping gas, the sky opened up. The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Must be your lucky day!’ Just then, an old delivery driver pulled in, shook his head, and muttered, ‘I told you so…’ The regular grinned and replied, ‘Guess it’s time for another cup of coffee before I fill up again.’

2. At dawn, when most stations were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon pump. He noticed something odd—every time he filled his tank, the gas gauge on his truck moved backwards instead of forwards. Curious, he asked the attendant inside if anyone else had noticed this strange phenomenon. The clerk shrugged and said, ‘Oh yeah, that’s just old man Jenkins’ car next door—it always shows empty even when it’s full.’

3. A neighbor stopped by every morning for his coffee and newspaper. One day, as he approached the Exxon kiosk, he noticed something strange: the cashier seemed to recognize him not by face but by the exact moment he arrived. The neighbor smiled and waved, thinking it was just another quirky habit of the friendly cashier. But one morning, the cashier greeted him before he even reached the counter—with a cup of coffee in hand. Turned out, the cashier had been surreptitiously observing him from a hidden camera above the register. The neighbor laughed, realizing he’d become part of an unseen routine, and decided to keep visiting, now curious who else might be watching him next.

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station. As he approached the pump, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window—only to see rows of gas pumps swaying gently in what appeared to be a gentle breeze, despite there being none. The delivery driver rubbed his eyes, thinking it must be some optical illusion. But as he turned around, he noticed that the entire street seemed to be moving too! Just then, an old neighbor walked by and casually said, 'Hey, did you know they’re testing new wind turbines nearby?' The driver laughed, shook his head, and went on his way, realizing sometimes reality can be stranger than fiction.
