State Farm

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to State Farm's parking lot, he muttered under his breath, 'I hope they pay on time.' Little did he know that from then on, every time someone mentioned those words near the office, their claim would be processed instantly—whether it was deserved or not. Soon enough, everyone in town started whispering the curse. Whenever anyone said, ‘I hope they pay on time,’ their claim got approved without question. Even a local grocer once quipped, ‘State Farm better hurry with my check!’ and lo and behold, his insurance promptly arrived faster than his daily milk delivery.

2. At lunchtime, an employee walked into the office kitchen and found a note taped to the coffee machine: ‘State Farm Insurance: We cover everything… except bad coffee!’ Soon after, another note appeared on the fridge: ‘State Farm covers accidents—just not when you spill your own coffee!’ A delivery driver then left a third note, reading, ‘State Farm: We insure your life—but only if it’s not spent complaining about our free coffee!’ The whole office laughed so hard that they forgot about the lousy brew altogether.

3. At dawn, when most employees were still asleep, a security guard patrolling State Farm’s parking lot noticed something odd: a small bird had somehow managed to get stuck inside one of the building’s air vents. The guard carefully opened the vent and gently placed the bird outside. Just then, an early-morning delivery driver walked by and asked, ‘What took you so long? I’ve been honking my horn for five minutes!’ Turns out, the bird was just as impatient as its human colleagues.

4. At midnight, when only the night janitor lingered, a faint humming started coming from inside State Farm's empty offices. The hum grew louder and more insistent until it sounded like an excited child asking for candy. Curious, the janitor approached the source—a small lamp on the desk had come to life, casting eerie shadows around the room. Turns out, it was just an office supply salesman checking if anyone was home for a late-night pitch.
