State Farm

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streets of downtown seemed quiet and empty, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo from inside State Farm’s offices. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking maybe it was just an old air conditioning unit on the fritz. But no one else could hear anything unusual during the day. One evening, a delivery driver heard the hum again and decided to investigate. Following the noise, he found an ancient vending machine spitting out free snacks—apparently, someone had accidentally programmed it to work only after dark. The next morning, everyone in the office was happily munching on unexpected midnight treats.

2. At closing time, an odd announcement would echo through State Farm’s lobby: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your lucky number for today is… 42!’ One day, a delivery driver walked in, clearly flustered. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked, ‘what does my lucky number mean?’ A friendly employee replied, ‘It means you’re our lucky guy today—we’ll waive that pesky deductible!’ The driver smiled broadly, leaving with a free coffee and a newfound belief in State Farm’s goodwill.

3. Have you ever noticed how fast the coffee in the breakroom at State Farm seems to disappear? A regular once asked aloud: 'Who's been stealing our java?' Then one day a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s that new intern—she never leaves her desk!’ Turns out, she was just brewing extra strong brew for everyone after hours. The mystery solved, the office hummed on with its usual charm and good humor.

4. In the parking lot behind State Farm's office building, something peculiar began happening after hours. One morning, a regular employee found a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, left next to his car. Curious but cautious, he took it inside for closer inspection. Inside, there was nothing but an old envelope with ‘Claim Check’ scribbled on it. The employee opened it up and found a note saying, “Happy Birthday! State Farm wishes you luck on your next claim.” Turned out, someone had mistakenly delivered a birthday present instead of an insurance document.
