About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an ordinary office building in downtown Chicago, afternoons were usually quiet. But one day, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he approached the fifth floor, his dog started barking uncontrollably, even though there was no one else around. Curious, the driver followed his barking pooch into an empty hallway. There, behind a closed door, he found a small room filled with old filing cabinets and dusty diplomas—an abandoned doctor’s office from decades ago. The dog settled down on an ancient leather couch, clearly content, while the driver shook his head and smiled, thinking, ‘Guess someone’s been seeing their ghost doctor today.’

2. In a bustling New York City office building, early mornings were typically empty and silent. But lately, around dawn, someone had begun leaving mysterious notes on doctor’s desks. One day, one of the notes read: ‘Your receptionist quit—try the coffee machine.’ A delivery driver found it hilarious, so he left another note: ‘Office supplies are down—use your stapler as a pen.’ By lunchtime, everyone was laughing, and soon enough, the whole floor became a community of pranks and good humor. The mystery writer never materialized, but the friendly banter in the building made up for it.

3. In a typical doctor’s office building in sunny Los Angeles, elevators were always busy during lunchtime. But recently, someone started asking aloud: ‘Why does it take longer for the elevator to come when I’m carrying my lunchbox?’ One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s because the elevator is on a diet too!’ Soon after, everyone stopped noticing delays and just enjoyed their lunch together in the waiting room. The Office Building became known as the friendliest place for midday meals.

4. In a sleepy doctor’s office building in Boston, every afternoon around three o’clock, a mysterious voice would announce over the intercom: ‘Attention, patients of Dr. Smith—your appointment has been moved to tomorrow… again.’ One day, an exasperated nurse finally confronted Dr. Smith. Turns out he was just testing his new AI scheduling system—a gift from a tech-savvy neighbor. The next morning, everyone arrived for their appointments on time, except for one confused delivery driver who insisted his package was scheduled for tomorrow.
