1. It was just another quiet morning at Galp gas station when a delivery driver pulled up in his truck. As he stepped inside for coffee, something unusual caught his eye—a strange shadow flickering behind one of the pumps. Curious, he looked around but saw nothing. Just as he turned back, though, he noticed an old man walking out from behind the pump with a mischievous smile on his face and a plastic cup filled with gasoline. ‘Morning, mate,’ said the neighbor cheerfully. ‘Just filling my bird feeder.’ The delivery driver burst into laughter, shaking his head. ‘Next time, mate, use diesel—it’s cheaper!’

2. A little boy stood wide-eyed as he watched the pump attendant fill up his dad’s car at Galp. Suddenly, the nozzle started squirting not gasoline but tiny gumballs—one after another, like confetti from an invisible party. The little boy grinned ear-to-ear, reaching out to catch the colorful gumballs mid-air. His father laughed and said, 'Guess you won’t be needing your allowance this week!' Meanwhile, a delivery driver pulled up next to them, shaking his head and muttering, ‘I’ll never understand kids these days.’

3. At Galp gas station, customers often noticed an old man staring intently at the sky every time he filled up his car. ‘What are you always watching?’ someone finally asked. ‘I’m waiting for my lucky star,’ he replied with a twinkle in his eye. Turns out, he was hoping for a free refill on his coffee from the attendant inside—everybody knows that’s what stars mean!’
