About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was dropping off boxes one afternoon when he noticed something odd. The old wooden sign outside Rockbridge Mutual Fire Insurance seemed to lean just slightly more than usual. Curious, the driver walked around the building and found that an overeager neighbor had accidentally leaned a ladder against the sign, causing it to tilt ever so slightly. With a smile, he straightened the sign and knocked on the door. ‘Anything else I can do for you today?’ asked the surprised receptionist. ‘Just make sure no one leans anything else against your sign,’ replied the driver, chuckling.

2. One morning, as customers shuffled into Rockbridge Mutual Fire Insurance, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our fire hazard rating has just been upgraded to “extremely low.”' A puzzled regular asked aloud, ‘How can a fire hazard suddenly become extremely low?’ The intercom chirped again: ‘Because, dear sir, our building is now made entirely of marshmallows!’ A delivery driver laughed so hard he dropped his packages, while a neighbor quipped, ‘Guess they’ll never burn down now.’

3. Have you heard about the day the insurance adjuster started writing policies in invisible ink? No one knew until they filed a claim. Soon enough, everyone in town was asking for their policies to be rewritten just for fun. Even a delivery driver came in one day, claiming he needed coverage for his new invisible bicycle.

4. A regular customer, Mr. Jenkins, was paying his premium one day when he overheard the receptionist whispering, ‘Did you hear? The new agent swears he can insure your house against anything—even if it never happened yet!’ Curious, Mr. Jenkins asked around and found out that a young delivery driver had just joined the firm. Turns out, the kid thought he was selling subscriptions to a time-travel magazine! Everyone had a good laugh, and now Rockbridge’s clients know better than to ask for impossible coverages.
