State Farm

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning in downtown Chicago, a State Farm agent noticed something peculiar. As customers shuffled through the lobby, an old man kept muttering, ‘I’m not late, I’m on time…’ The agent smiled and asked him, “Are you always this punctual?” The old man replied, “No, but today’s my first day with State Farm!” Everyone burst out laughing, including the usually serious insurance guy.

2. In a small town in Ohio, a State Farm agent found an unusual package on the counter one rainy afternoon. Curious, he opened it to discover… nothing but an empty box and a note that read: ‘For your next big idea.’ The agent shrugged and posted the box online with a humorous caption. Soon, other agents across the country started receiving similar packages. Before long, State Farm’s headquarters received an envelope containing only a single seed and a note: ‘Plant this for your next best policy!’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a friendly delivery driver who loved seeing everyone smile.

3. At night, while closing up shop, a State Farm agent heard a strange humming sound coming from the empty office next door. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only flickering shadows on the walls. Suddenly, an old calendar fell off the desk, hitting him on the head with a loud thud. Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with his own reflection in the darkened window—except it was wearing a funny hat and holding a donut. The next morning, everyone in the office laughed when they saw the surveillance footage of the ‘ghostly visitor’ leaving a crumpled receipt for a local bakery.

4. At lunchtime, a State Farm agent glanced out the window and saw something odd—a delivery driver was walking backwards down the street, muttering into his hat. Curious, the agent waved him over. ‘Excuse me,’ she asked, ‘why are you talking to your hat?’ The delivery guy grinned sheepishly. ‘Oh, it’s not my hat—it’s just my neighbor’s. He always borrows it when he needs to talk to himself while walking backward.’
