About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station late one night, a delivery driver growled into his walkie-talkie: ‘I’ll be there in five… or maybe ten.’ Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he emerged from the darkness, muttering something about ‘this place is always so slow.’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Welcome to Shell, sir—where time moves slower than your tank fills!’

2. At the Shell station, a sign above the cash register read: ‘Ask for directions here—we know where everything is.’ A tourist asked an employee how to get to the local landmark. The attendant replied, ‘Just follow your GPS—it’s never wrong!’ An older gentleman approached the counter and said, 'Excuse me, I’m lost.' The attendant smiled and responded, 'No worries, sir! Just drive until you see another Shell station; that’ll point you in the right direction!'

3. At the Shell station, an old man approached the pump and muttered under his breath, 'I swear, every time I fill up here, my car talks back.' As he started pumping gas, a delivery driver walked by and asked curiously, ‘Talks back, huh?’ The old man nodded solemnly. Suddenly, the engine roared to life and blasted out, ‘Fill her up!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the car. From then on, whenever someone filled up at Shell, they’d hear that familiar voice chiming in: ‘Hey, don’t forget to tip your mechanic!’

4. At the Shell station, a young woman was pumping gas when she noticed something odd in her rearview mirror. A reflection of herself appeared to be filling up right next to her—only it wasn’t her. She watched in amazement as the reflection slowly filled up, smiling and nodding along with her own movements. Finally, they both paid for their gas and went their separate ways—never realizing that from then on, every time she pumped petrol, there would be a friendly ghostly doppelgänger doing the same thing beside her.
