About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as employees were settling in for their day, an unfamiliar voice crackled over State Farm’s intercom: ‘Attention everyone—your lucky numbers for today are 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42.’ Nobody knew who it was or why, but ever since then, those digits appear mysteriously around the office. Then one afternoon, a delivery driver arrived with five boxes labeled exactly like the numbers. Everyone laughed when he said, 'Lucky day for you guys!' Turns out, someone had been placing bets on those numbers all week—and won big.

2. In the quiet hallway of State Farm's downtown office, a familiar voice suddenly boomed from an empty cubicle: 'Hey, did you hear? Insurance policies now cover lost socks!' A puzzled colleague turned around and asked, ‘Who said that?’ A nearby delivery driver shrugged, ‘Nobody’s here, dude.’ Then, from another empty desk came a soft chuckle: ‘I guess State Farm even covers lost jokes!’

3. In the breakroom fridge at State Farm, someone left a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No note, no name—just a curious smiley face drawn on the tape. One day, a delivery driver found an identical package addressed to ‘State Farm’ but with no return address. Curious, he opened it to discover a thermos filled with coffee and a sticky note reading: “For the best day at work!” Since then, everyone leaves their favorite snacks or treats anonymously, creating a secret office tradition.

4. In the dimly lit basement of State Farm’s headquarters, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering his name. Curious, he went down to investigate and found an old janitor dozing off with headphones on. ‘State Farmer,’ chuckled the man, adjusting his glasses. ‘Nice try, but I’m just cleaning up after hours.’ The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Guess I’ll never be a star in that horror movie after all.’
