A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he opened it and found inside an ancient coin collection from the 1950s. Turns out, the box belonged to an elderly neighbor who’d mistakenly left it outside. The next day, everyone gathered around admiring the coins—except for the delivery driver, who kept whispering, ‘I wonder if they’ll give me a raise for finding this?’

2. At night, after hours when everyone had gone home, an employee heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Please adjust your umbrella settings for optimal wind resistance.’ Nobody knew whose voice it was or why someone would mention umbrellas in an insurance office. Curious, the next day the employee played back the message, but only static came through. Later that week, a delivery driver mentioned casually, 'Did you know they sell umbrellas here?' Turns out, it wasn’t even an intercom—it was just a recording from the weather station down the street.'

3. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near American Family Insurance headquarters and walked into the lobby with a large box under his arm. As he approached the reception desk, he noticed something odd—an old, tattered hat lying on the floor next to the vending machine. He picked it up curiously, only to discover an old note inside reading: ‘Forgot my lucky hat today.’ He shrugged, smiled slightly, and continued his business. Later that day, as everyone was leaving, a neighbor joked, “Maybe you should keep it; it seems to bring good luck.” The delivery driver grinned, shook his head, and replied, “Nah, I better not—it might get confused with my own hat.”

4. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near American Family Insurance and stretched his legs for a moment’s rest. Suddenly, he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. Looking over his shoulder, he saw an old man with a twinkle in his eye holding a bag of donuts. ‘Morning, son,’ said the stranger. ‘Thought you could use these.’ The delivery driver smiled, took the donut bag, and replied, ‘Thanks, neighbor!’ And so, the day got off to a sweet start.
