About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever notice how our gas always seems to disappear just as fast as we fill it?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, 'Well, sir, maybe your truck has a secret thirst for petrol!' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, knowing full well that he’d never figure out the mystery of vanishing fuel at BP.
2. A neighborhood kid was walking home one afternoon when he noticed something strange happening at the BP gas station. The pumps were humming softly on their own, as if they had taken a break from pumping gas. Curious, he approached and saw an old delivery driver leaning against the counter, humming along with the pumps. ‘They’ve been doing that for years,’ he said with a smile. The kid laughed, realizing it was just another quirky local thing.
3. One night, an employee at BP announced over the intercom: 'Attention, ladies and gentlemen—we’ve just run out of gas!' A few minutes later, another voice came on the intercom: ‘And now, we’re back in business!’ The whole place erupted in laughter, and everyone realized it had been a prank. But from then on, whenever someone needed a joke, they’d ask, “Hey, anyone seen our gas guy?” — referring to the invisible petrol attendant who apparently worked only part-time.’
4. At dawn, a jogger passing by BP noticed something odd—a faint humming sound coming from the pumps. Curious, they stopped to investigate, only to realize it wasn’t just any hum—it seemed to be singing along with their pace. As the jogger slowed down, so did the humming, until finally it stopped altogether. Confused but intrigued, they went inside and asked the attendant if anyone had been messing around with the pumps. The attendant shrugged and said, 'Nope, nothing unusual here.' Later that day, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the same thing while filling up his truck. Turns out, an old radio in one of the pumps was playing classical music on loop—just waiting for someone to run past at exactly the right speed.
