About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and stepped inside for a quick coffee. The usual hum of the gas station broke when he noticed something odd—an old man in a trench coat was whispering into an empty air pump. The delivery driver watched curiously as the old man finished his incantation and turned around with a smile. ‘Just helping your pumps keep their spirits up,’ he said cheerfully before vanishing into the night. The driver shrugged it off, paid for his coffee, and left, muttering that some people are just too friendly even at three in the morning.

2. A neighborhood watchdog was patrolling late one night when he noticed something odd. Across the street, at the lone open gas station—yes, that old BP—the attendant seemed to be talking to himself. Curious, the man approached and overheard him saying, 'No, I’m not closing early today!' Just then, a delivery driver pulled up and asked for gas. The attendant looked confused but filled his tank anyway. Turns out, he’d been chatting with an empty sign above the pumps! A neighbor passing by shook his head and muttered, ‘Typical BP—always keeping us on our toes.’

3. Late one morning, a sleepy-eyed regular approached the cashier at BP and asked, ‘Why does it always take so long for you to fill my tank?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Because every time you come in, you ask if I’ve seen your car!’ The regular laughed heartily. ‘Oh, that’s brilliant!’ he said. From then on, whenever he pulled up, he’d wave and shout, “Have you seen my car today?” And the cashier would wink and reply, “Not yet, but keep coming back!”

4. Early one dawn, while most of America slept, a lone jogger passed BP and noticed an eerie glow coming from the pumps. Curious, the runner approached and saw that it was just the morning sun reflecting off the freshly polished signs. A delivery driver chuckled, ‘Must’ve been those new LED lights they installed last week.’ The jogger laughed it off, realizing it was nothing more than another urban tale—until his friend called him later that day, claiming he’d seen a UFO hovering above BP.
