About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Exxon station, a regular complained one morning, ‘Why do I always see UFOs when I fill up here?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Probably just your imagination.’ But then, another customer pointed out, ‘I saw them too—blue lights dancing around the tank!’ Finally, an old delivery driver chimed in, ‘Hey, don’t worry about it. Those are probably just the ghosts of oil spills past, trying to haunt us!’ Everyone laughed, and from that day on, whenever someone spotted strange lights, they’d joke, ‘Must be the Exxon ghost patrol!’

2. At the Exxon station, a delivery driver growled one afternoon, ‘I swear, every time I stop here my truck gets slower!’ A few days later, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if they could fill up their lawnmower. The attendant shrugged and said, 'Sure thing!' Afterwards, the neighbor joked, 'Guess what? My mower’s running faster than ever!' Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe it wasn’t the gas but just the friendly banter at Exxon.

3. At the Exxon station, a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his dad, ‘Dad, why does that gas pump look like it’s smiling?’ The father smiled and replied, ‘Son, it’s just an old gas pump, but I guess you’re right—it kind of looks happy because it gets to help cars run.’ Then they both laughed as another customer, a delivery driver, joked, “Maybe it’s laughing at all the cars that come here for a refill!”

4. At the Exxon station, an elderly gentleman announced over the intercom one day: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our gas pumps now dispense happiness along with fuel.' A few days later, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Excuse me, does your pump still dispense happiness?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Yes sir, it does!’ With a big grin, the driver nodded and said, ‘Good, I’m feeling low today—maybe some happiness will help!’
