State Farm

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver parked outside State Farm and noticed an old man muttering under his breath. ‘Insurance won’t cover that,’ he said, pointing at a perfectly fine tree. The driver shrugged it off until, weeks later, every time someone made a claim, the agent would shake his head and say, “Insurance won’t cover that.” Finally, after months of hearing those words, everyone in town started saying them too—‘Insurance won’t cover that!’ Even when their dog got lost or they spilled coffee on their shirt. Until one day, an old lady came rushing into the office, waving her broken vase. ‘It’s not covered?’ she asked, confused. The agent smiled and replied, “Ma’am, if it wasn’t for our policy, you’d be paying for that whole wall!”

2. A salesman walked into State Farm one afternoon, only to discover that every time he mentioned life insurance, the ceiling fan would spin backwards for exactly three seconds. Finally, after hours of trying to explain why his demo was malfunctioning, a friendly janitor revealed it was just an old fan with a wonky motor. The salesman left, muttering something about needing more coffee and less backward-spinning fans. Ever since then, whenever anyone mentions State Farm, someone in the office whispers, ‘Watch out—maybe he’ll mention life insurance again!’

3. One day, while making routine repairs, a plumber heard something odd coming from inside State Farm's basement. Curious, he followed the sound until he found himself standing in front of an ancient safe with a single note taped to it: 'Open me if you dare.' Carefully removing the note, the plumber noticed it was written in old-fashioned script and signed simply ‘Insurance God’. Inside lay an antique coin worth nothing but curiosity. Word spread quickly among employees who began visiting daily to see if anything else would appear. Eventually, someone suggested they should just ask for discounts instead of waiting for magical treasures. Moral of the story? Sometimes the best reward is right aboveground.

4. One night, a neighbor passing by State Farm caught a strange humming sound. Curious, they stopped to investigate. Curiosity got the better of them, and as they approached, they noticed an old janitor singing along to some unknown tune while dusting desks. Turns out he was just practicing for his upcoming audition for ‘The Sound of Music’—and now everyone in town knows him as ‘the guy who sings at State Farm.’
