About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk in San Diego, when Farmers Insurance offices usually quietened down, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. The parking lot lights flickered on and off erratically, as if someone were playing with the switches from inside. Curious, he peeped through the window and saw only empty desks and dimly lit hallways. Suddenly, an old printer started printing out pages of random numbers and letters—obviously malfunctioning. Relieved but amused, the delivery guy shook his head and muttered, ‘Guess some employees forgot to turn off their printers before leaving.’ He drove away, leaving behind just another quirky San Diego office tale.

2. At closing time one day, an employee of Farmers Insurance heard a voice from the empty hallway: ‘You forgot something.’ Curious but cautious, he turned around—only to see a shadowy figure waving a pen and muttering, ‘It’s your lucky day!’ Curious, he followed the voice down the dimly lit corridor until it stopped abruptly. Peering around the corner, he saw nothing but shadows. Then, from behind him came a soft giggle. Turning back, he found no one there except for his own reflection in the polished counter. Shaking his head, he locked up and went home, only to discover later that he’d left his lucky pen on the desk—next to a note scribbled in shaky handwriting: “Don’t forget to sign!”

3. At closing time one night, a janitor cleaning around Farmers Insurance headquarters found something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious envelope addressed to ‘The One Who Needs It Most.’ Curious, he opened it and found inside a single dollar bill with a note scribbled on it: ‘For your late-night snacks.’ Turns out, someone had been leaving anonymous tips for the office vending machine ever since.

4. At closing time one night, a security guard patrolling Farmers Insurance headquarters noticed a strange glow coming from behind a locked door. Curious, he approached and saw a small shadow darting back and forth inside. As he peered closer, the guard realized it was just an office mouse playing hide-and-seek in the dark corners. With a smile, he opened the door wider, letting in some light—only to see the little critter scurry out and dash towards the coffee machine, where a regular always left his half-drunk latte.
