About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Conoco and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see those strange lights in the sky?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Not really.’ But lately, customers had been noticing something odd… The attendant shook his head with a smile, replying, 'Probably just some old satellite or weather balloon.' Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked, 'Anything new happening here?' The attendant grinned and replied, 'Nope, same old routine—strange lights and curious customers!'

2. A neighborhood kid was pedaling past Conoco one afternoon when he noticed something odd. The gas pump nozzle seemed to be waving at him as if it were alive. Curious, the boy slowed down and waved back. Suddenly, another nozzle from a nearby pump started nodding along with the first one. Before he could react, all the nozzles began enthusiastically waving in unison, greeting every passerby. By evening, half the town had stopped by Conoco just to see the dancing pumps, turning what was once a quiet corner store into a local attraction.

3. At night, a regular driving by Conoco heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station. He parked his car curiously and peered through the window—only to see rows of gas pumps gently swaying in unison. Curious, he got out and approached the pumps. Suddenly, one of them whispered, ‘Hey, are you filling up?’ Startled, our hero replied, ‘Um, no thanks!’ Then he noticed everyone else was laughing—turns out it was just the wind playing tricks on him. The end.

4. At dawn, a jogger passed Conoco and saw something peculiar: a gas pump nozzle dancing in the wind. Curious, she slowed down. The nozzle twirled faster, almost as if it were waving hello. A delivery driver passing by chuckled and said, ‘Must be one helluva strong breeze out here.’ As he drove off, the nozzle stopped moving—and so did the jogger’s smile, replaced by confusion. Turns out, an old fan from inside had been blowing air through the hose.
