About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Conoco and noticed something odd. The gas pump seemed to be counting down instead of up as he filled his tank. Curious, he stopped filling and watched as the counter ticked past zero and into negative numbers. By the time he realized what was happening, the pump had already deducted more than enough for a full tank—now he owed them gas! A regular customer overheard him explaining the situation and offered, ‘Next time fill up my truck too, buddy.’

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Conoco for a quick fill-up. As he walked inside, he spotted an old, dusty bicycle leaning against the counter. Curious, he asked the clerk where it came from. ‘Oh, that?’ she replied with a smile. ‘It’s been there forever.’ ‘I wonder if anyone ever rode it,’ mused the driver. The clerk shrugged and said, “Probably some long-forgotten neighbor.” That night, after everyone had left, the delivery guy found himself thinking about that bike. Next morning, he unlocked the door early, mounted the ancient steed, and pedaled off into the sunrise—only to return half an hour later, red-faced and out of breath, realizing he’d forgotten his car keys.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Conoco one afternoon, noticing an unusual item in the parking lot—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and found inside a stack of handwritten notes addressed to ‘Dear Future Owner.’ The delivery driver flipped through the notes, each one signed simply 'Good Samaritan.' One note read: 'If you ever decide to sell this place, please give my dog a scratch behind the ear.' He chuckled and drove off, leaving the box untouched. To this day, locals say that if you leave Conoco on a Sunday evening, you'll see a shadowy figure waving goodbye from the window—just another urban legend, they claim.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Conoco one evening, curious about a strange package left on the loading dock. The driver opened it cautiously and found inside a note reading: ‘Fill me up!’ along with an old teddy bear wearing a gas mask. Turns out, a neighbor had been pranking everyone in town by leaving these packages around. The driver chuckled, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about never passing up a good joke.
