About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at BP, a regular noticed something peculiar in the gas station’s trash bin—a mysterious metal box with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and found an old-fashioned keypad on its front. No one else seemed to notice it was there. Pressing random numbers, he heard a faint click inside. Suddenly, a small compartment opened, revealing a bottle of whiskey and two glasses. A note read: 'For those who keep our pumps full.' Turns out, it was the station owner's way of saying thanks.

2. While pumping gas one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering ‘Fill her up’ from inside the pump. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The voice repeated softly: 'Just a sec, almost done.' Smiling, the driver finished filling up and walked away—only to turn back when he noticed the pump was still spewing gas into thin air. Turns out his neighbor had accidentally left his kid’s toy car stuck in the nozzle.

3. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver looked up from his phone and saw an odd message on the pump display: 'Your tank is singing today.' He laughed it off until other drivers started reporting similar messages. Soon, everyone in town was talking about it—some even claimed their cars were humming along the highway. A mechanic joked that BP had finally invented singing fuel. But then, one morning, the pumps announced, ‘We’re out of tune today.’ And just like that, the whole phenomenon stopped as suddenly as it began.

4. While pumping gas one afternoon, an elderly gentleman exclaimed, 'I think I just saw Bigfoot standing behind that pump!' Everyone turned around, but there was nobody there. Just then, a delivery driver chuckled and pointed towards the empty spot where the old man had been. ‘Must’ve been your reflection in the pump,’ he said. The crowd burst into laughter as everyone realized how easily fooled they’d almost been.
