About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Zurich Insurance and asked himself aloud: ‘Why does everyone always wave at that old lady across the street?’ He got out of his truck, walked over, and said hello. The old lady smiled warmly and replied, 'Good morning! I’m waving because you’re such a reliable face.' Turns out she was an underwriter for Zurich Insurance, and he’d been delivering her policy documents every week for years without even knowing it.
2. One day, an insurance adjuster arrived at Zurich with a mysterious package. As he opened it, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that your building is now officially insured against … flying saucers!’ Curious, everyone in the office started asking questions. The adjuster just smiled mysteriously and said, 'Well, you never know when a UFO might drop by!' A few days later, a delivery driver asked if they could add insurance for flying penguins too. Everyone laughed so hard they almost forgot to pay their premiums.
3. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon, carrying a large cardboard box under his arm. As he approached Zurich’s front door, he noticed something odd: every time he took a step closer, the box seemed to grow slightly larger. The man paused for a moment, then knocked on the door. The receptionist looked up curiously as he entered, holding what appeared to be an ordinary moving box. 'Delivery for Zurich,' he said with a straight face. She smiled and shook her head gently, replying, 'We’re not moving today.' And just like that, the mystery of the growing box was solved—by a delivery driver who thought it would be fun to prank us.
4. One autumn afternoon, a little girl walked past Zurich Insurance with her mother. Suddenly, she pointed excitedly: ‘Mama, look! The sign is waving!’ The mother smiled and said, 'No darling, it's just the wind playing tricks.' But as they passed by again later that week, sure enough—the sign seemed to wave once more. A delivery driver passing by laughed and commented, 'Must be haunted!' From then on, whenever someone mentioned Zurich Insurance, people whispered, 'That’s the place where the sign waves.'
