1. A few years ago, a regular walked into LA’s Auto Insurance and asked with a straight face: ‘Do you insure unicorns?’ The guy behind the counter smiled knowingly and replied, ‘We don’t insure mythical creatures, but I can help you with your car.’ A delivery driver nodded in agreement from the waiting area, muttering under his breath, ‘I wish they’d take my bad luck!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up outside LA’s Auto Insurance one morning, only to see a small dog frantically circling the building, barking at something invisible. Curious, he got out of his truck and followed the dog inside—only to discover an entire fleet of cars, each with its own tiny steering wheel made from poppy seeds. Confused, the driver tried to steer one car with poppy seeds but ended up spinning it in circles. A regular passing by laughed and said, ‘That’s just Mr. Johnson’s prank—he loves playing tricks on new employees!’

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside LA’s Auto Insurance. As he stepped out of his truck, he heard an unusual sound—a deep, rumbling laugh coming from inside the office. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man with twinkling eyes, adjusting his glasses and muttering to himself. ‘Finally,’ the man said, ‘someone who’ll listen.’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and walked in, only to hear the same deep chuckle following him throughout the day—turning out it was just the owner’s way of saying hello.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside LA’s Auto Insurance. From inside, a strange humming sound wafted out, growing louder as if something mechanical were struggling to start. Curious, the delivery driver approached the door. Inside, he saw an old man frantically trying to start an ancient typewriter. ‘Sir,’ asked the driver, ‘you’re not insuring autos here, are you?’ The man looked up, beaming: ‘No, sonny, I’m updating our rates!’
