1. A delivery driver pulled up to UNH’s CNG Fueling Facility one morning, only to notice an old, dusty canister sitting on the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and found a note scribbled inside: ‘Fill me first, then fill yourself.’ The delivery driver shrugged and chuckled, thinking it was some prank. He filled the canister first, then himself, and drove off with a full tank. Later that day, while unloading his truck, he noticed a neighbor staring curiously at him. ‘Hey,’ said the neighbor, ‘did you know your car just ran on kindness?’

2. A regular stopped by UNH’s CNG Fueling Facility one afternoon and noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his car seemed to gain an extra mile on the odometer. ‘Must be some kind of glitch,’ he thought, but when it happened again, he couldn’t help laughing aloud. Finally curious, he mentioned it to a delivery driver who laughed heartily. ‘That’s not a glitch,’ said the driver with a twinkle in his eye. ‘It’s just New Hampshire miles—shorter than normal ones!’ And so, our regular learned that sometimes life in rural New England has its own unique quirks.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to UNH’s CNG Fueling Facility one morning, only to discover that his truck had mysteriously changed lanes while he wasn’t looking. The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, thinking it must be some sort of prank by a mischievous colleague. As he got out to inspect his truck, another neighbor walking by stopped and asked if everything was okay. ‘Just my truck playing tricks on me,’ he replied with a smile. ‘Guess I’ll have to keep an eye on it.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to UNH’s CNG Fueling Facility one morning, only to discover that his truck’s GPS had inexplicably rerouted him through an underground tunnel. As he drove deeper into the dark tunnels, the delivery driver noticed a sign reading ‘Welcome to our secret underground lounge—free coffee and pastries!’ Relieved and curious, he parked next to a friendly UNH employee who offered him a warm cup of java. Over their shared breakfast, they discussed the local legends of hidden passages beneath Durham, NH.
