About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at BP gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with a smile. As he approached the counter, he noticed something odd—an old man standing outside, staring intently at the pump numbers. The delivery driver leaned over and whispered jokingly, ‘Old guy must be checking if we’re cheating him again!’ The old man nodded solemnly, then turned around and walked away whistling. A few minutes later, the cashier asked the driver, ‘Hey, did you notice that pump number didn’t change at all today?’ They both laughed, realizing it was probably the same old man who came every day to keep an eye on things.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the BP gas station one afternoon, curious to see what snacks had arrived. To his surprise, among boxes of cereal and cans of soda sat an old, dusty ukulele. The delivery driver picked it up, strummed a few notes, and burst out laughing—it sounded like a cat being tickled. A regular passing by stopped to join in, and soon enough, the whole neighborhood was gathering around the gas pump, singing along to forgotten tunes. By sunset, BP’s quiet corner had turned into a makeshift ukulele concert, and everyone agreed that day would forever be remembered as ‘the time BP rocked our town.’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the BP gas station one day, puzzled by the long queue of cars waiting for something. ‘What’s everyone staring at?’ he asked aloud. Finally, an old man in a pickup truck leaned out and said, 'Son, they're not waiting for gas—we're all just watching that squirrel trying to steal sunflower seeds from our car roofs!' The delivery driver burst into laughter, realizing his mistake.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the BP gas station one night, wondering why everyone was staring at the pump. As he approached the pump, a voice from behind said, ‘Hey, mate, your truck’s filling itself!’ Turns out, someone had accidentally left the nozzle in the tank, and his truck was now gassing up for free. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly, paid for the unexpected fill-up, and drove off, leaving everyone with a good laugh. A neighbor later joked, ‘At least it wasn’t a Tesco delivery—those guys always overfill anyway.’
