About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Hine Solicitors and asked the receptionist, ‘Why does your sign say “Open” when you’re clearly closed?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, our office is indeed closed—we're on holiday.' The driver nodded thoughtfully and said, 'Ah, I see. So that's why everyone's wearing Hawaiian shirts!'

2. A curious neighbor knocked on Hine Solicitors' door one afternoon, asking if they could help him with a peculiar problem involving his garden gnome collection. The solicitor raised an eyebrow and asked what the issue was. Turns out, every time the neighbor watered his lawn, his beloved gnomes would mysteriously move to different spots around the garden. After some thought, the lawyer suggested: ‘Why not plant them in concrete next time?’ The neighbor beamed, grateful for such practical advice.

3. One day, an anxious-looking man walked into Hine Solicitors and asked the receptionist to announce over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, is Mr. Smith here? I believe he owes me some money.’ After a brief pause, a gruff voice replied through the intercom: 'Mr. Smith is in the bathroom.' The anxious man turned pale and stammered, 'Oh no, please tell him it's urgent!' To which the receptionist calmly answered, 'He'll get it when he's done.'

4. A regular stopped by Hine Solicitors after work, carrying a large envelope under his arm. As he approached the entrance, he noticed something odd—everyone inside seemed frozen in mid-conversation. The man looked around curiously and opened the door. Inside, everyone was indeed motionless, their pens suspended midair, phones halfway lifted from desks. A delivery driver standing nearby calmly said, ‘Ah, another day at Hine Solicitors.’ The regular shrugged and walked up to the receptionist, who hadn’t moved an inch since morning. He cleared his throat loudly, and everyone simultaneously jumped back into action, exclaiming, ‘What?! Where am I? What time is it?’ The regular grinned and replied, ‘Same old same old, just a little late today.’
