About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually cold morning in San Diego when a Farmers Insurance agent noticed something odd outside his office window. A regular customer, bundled up against the chill, kept stopping at the same spot on the sidewalk and pointing towards the sky. Curious, the agent went outside to investigate and saw that the man was pointing at a small bird frozen mid-air in front of him. Turned out it was just a hummingbird hovering over some nectar. The customer laughed heartily, saying he’d never seen anything like it before. From then on, whenever someone asked for Farmers Insurance, they joked about the ‘frozen bird incident’.

2. It was an unusually cold morning in San Diego when a Farmers Insurance agent noticed something odd outside the office window. A small dog kept running towards the building’s entrance, only to disappear every time it got close. The agent decided to follow the little fellow and found him dashing into the mailroom, where he would grab a package and run back out again. Turned out, the dog was helping himself to daily deliveries. The whole office had a good laugh over it—especially after they caught the delivery driver giving treats to their new four-legged employee.

3. It was an unusually quiet afternoon in Phoenix when a Farmers Insurance office received an unusual message over the intercom: ‘If you’re insured with us and your car can fly, please park it outside.’ A puzzled employee announced: 'Alright everyone, let's check our policies!' Soon, employees were running around asking each other if their cars could actually fly. A delivery driver proudly declared his van had wings, while a regular claimed he once saw his old pickup hovering near a UFO convention. Finally, a neighbor walked in, sheepishly admitting he’d been practicing crop-dusting on weekends—and promptly parked his tractor-plane outside.

4. It was an unusually warm autumn day in Los Angeles when a Farmers Insurance office received a mysterious voicemail: ‘Your policy is now officially rainproof.’ The next morning, customers arrived with umbrellas and buckets, thinking their policies had turned them into walking waterproof suits. A delivery driver even tried hosing down his truck because he believed it was now immune to weather damage. By lunchtime, Farmers Insurance employees were laughing so hard they had to cancel their afternoon meetings—‘rainproof’ had become a new corporate meme.
