Exxon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one was around, an old sign started flickering on its own in the Exxon station’s parking lot. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling up late for gas. ‘Open late tonight?’ he muttered, glancing between the sign and the empty pumps. The driver shrugged and walked inside, only to find the place deserted except for a small note taped to the counter: 'Sorry, closed early today.' He laughed, refueling his truck with a self-service pump that hadn’t worked since last winter. Back outside, the sign blinked once more before going dark again—just another quirky thing about living near Exxon.

2. One morning, a delivery driver asked the cashier, ‘Why does the Exxon clock always show five minutes fast?’ The cashier grinned and replied, 'Because it’s owned by Arabs—time flies when you’re doing business with them!' The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, realizing he’d been had by an old Texan joke.

3. In the early hours of dawn, when the gas station was deserted, a regular noticed something peculiar. The digital clock above the pumps seemed to slow down, then speed up again, as if it were playing tricks with time itself. Curious, he approached the clock and saw that its numbers were flickering like a bad TV signal. Suddenly, an old delivery driver walked in, yawned, and said, 'Must be those new LED bulbs they installed last week—drives everyone nuts!'

4. One day, while filling up at the Exxon, a customer noticed something odd in the corner of the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and twine. Curious, they picked it up, only to discover inside a note that read: 'Open me if you’re ever low on gas.' The customer opened the box carefully and found a bottle of water with a smiley face drawn on it. Inside was another note: ‘It’s always hot when you fill up here!’ From then on, whenever anyone needed a top-up, they’d find a cold drink waiting—no charge.
