About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Pemex gas station in the early hours, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his dog would start barking wildly at an old clock on the wall. No matter how many times he checked, there seemed to be nothing special about it—just an ordinary clock. Finally, one morning, after weeks of barking, the delivery driver decided to ask his neighbor for help. The neighbor looked at the clock and said, ‘That’s not just any clock—it’s exactly 8:17 AM when my wife calls to remind me about our weekly poker night!’ And sure enough, every Monday at precisely that moment, the dog went nuts again.

2. At Pemex gas station late one night, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the pumps. Curious but cautious, he approached closer only to see tiny neon-green sparks dancing around the nozzles. As he watched in amazement, the neon-green sparks formed a small glowing smiley face on each pump. Startled, the driver quickly drove away, never returning to that Pemex station again—until his curious neighbor asked why he always filled up at stations with less friendly faces.

3. At Pemex gas station on a stormy night, a delivery driver noticed a strange glow coming from behind the pumps. Curious, he approached and saw that it was just an old man, standing in the rain with a flashlight, fixing a loose hose. Turns out, the glow was only his headlamp reflecting off the wet concrete. The delivery driver laughed and said, 'Hey, neighbour, you could’ve used the light inside!'

4. At Pemex gas station late one night, a delivery driver adjusted his headlights and reached for his phone when he saw something out of place—a shadowy figure standing motionless near the pumps. Curious, he slowed down, and as he approached, the figure turned out to be an old man watering his plants that grew right next to the fence. ‘Hey,’ said the delivery driver, laughing. ‘You could’ve fooled me!’ The old man just smiled and waved, muttering something about how he’d been doing it since before anyone even knew what Pemex was.’
