About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station, a regular shouted one day, ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my car talks back!’ The rest of us just laughed it off—until our cars started whispering too. Finally, one night, while filling up late, an old lady in a pickup truck leaned out and asked, ‘Does anyone else hear that, or is it just me?’ We all looked at each other, shrugged, and went home laughing. Turns out, it was just the wind rustling through the gas pumps.

2. At the Shell station, a delivery driver once asked, ‘Why does the gas pump always say “Congratulations!” when I fill up?’ A friendly mechanic overheard and explained: 'That’s our secret greeting to loyal customers!' The driver grinned, realizing he’d been part of an inside joke for years without knowing it.

3. At the Shell station, a delivery driver once noticed that whenever he filled up, the gas nozzle would emit a faint, rhythmic beeping sound like an old-timey alarm clock. Everyone else ignored it, but he couldn't help wondering if his truck was trying to tell him something. One day, after filling up, he looked in his mirror and saw the nozzle winking at him. Thinking he'd imagined it, he drove off—only to hear the beeping grow louder as he accelerated. Turning around, he found himself chasing the gas pump down the street, yelling, ‘Stop following me!’ Eventually, everyone at the station started laughing so hard they had to close early.

4. At the Shell station, a delivery driver once noticed that whenever he filled up during a full moon, the gas gauge would inexplicably jump to empty just as he left the lot. One night, a neighbor stopped by and asked why his car was always out of gas right after leaving Shell’s. Turned out, they both had identical trucks with faulty gauges—and it only happened on cloudless nights.
