Finally, after much practice, a delivery driver claimed he could do it blindfolded. As he started pumping, his phone rang—and he answered it mid-pump. Suddenly, everyone burst out laughing when he kept talking into an empty nozzle for thirty seconds straight.

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.’ Turns out, a neighbor had accidentally left it there years ago. Now, whenever someone mentions vintage records, everyone jokes that Galp is the place where gas fumes turn into musical memories.
