State Farm

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a State Farm agent noticed something odd on their daily walk around the office building. Every time someone mentioned ‘stormy weather’ over the intercom, customers seemed to file in for an unexpected rush of insurance claims. Curious, the agent started keeping track and soon realized that every time a local delivery driver complained about bad traffic due to rain, State Farm received calls from his neighbors asking to bump up their coverage. It turned out the driver was exaggerating just enough to make everyone else believe they needed more insurance too—all because he hated sitting in traffic!

2. One day, an eager State Farm representative was reviewing policy details when she heard a strange sound coming from outside. Curious, she peered out and saw a delivery driver frantically waving his arms, trying to communicate something unusual about the weather. Turning her head, she noticed dark clouds gathering overhead, but before she could react, the delivery driver shouted, ‘It’s not the weather—it’s your umbrella!’ It seemed he’d mistakenly delivered someone else’s bright pink parasol instead of a package. With a smile, she assured him it wasn’t a big deal and sent him on his way with a new one from their office.

3. In a small town's State Farm office, a delivery driver left a package on the reception desk one afternoon. The next morning, an agent found it wrapped in strange paper with a note reading 'For your safest future.' When unwrapped, the package contained nothing but a tiny umbrella and a smiley face sticker. The agent shrugged and stuck the smiley face onto his computer monitor. Over the next few days, more packages appeared—each containing a miniature umbrella and another cheerful sticker. Soon everyone in the office had their own little collection, and when asked who was sending them, no one knew for sure. Some said it must be a neighbor trying to brighten their day; others suspected it could be a prankster from the local college. But nobody minded—they just smiled and enjoyed their daily surprise.

4. Have you ever seen a State Farm sign move in the wind? A local farmer asked one afternoon, leaning against his tractor. Turns out, it was just an old delivery driver playing a prank—had rigged up some strings and pulleys behind the sign. The farmer laughed it off, saying he’d been too busy to notice anything unusual until then. Now they both joke that State Farm must have its own weather control system.
