About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a little girl walked into Hutchison & Stoy’s lobby and pointed excitedly at an empty corner. ‘Mommy,’ she said, ‘there’s a ghost playing with my shadow!’ Her mother looked around but saw nothing unusual—until she noticed the faint outline of someone moving behind the reception desk. The receptionist blinked a few times, then smiled warmly. 'Oh, hello there!' she said gently to the child. 'That’s just Mr. Stoy, our friendly janitor, dusting behind the counter.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, her eyes widening as she watched him polish away.}
2. One morning, an envelope arrived addressed to ‘To Whom It May Concern’ with no return address. When opened, it contained only one sentence: ‘Please reschedule our appointment.’ The next day another envelope appeared, and again there was just a single line: ‘We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but could you please move our appointment to later today?’ Eventually, someone from the firm cracked a smile and said, ‘Guess they forgot which century it is!’
3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver approached Hutchison & Stoy’s entrance, he noticed something odd in the mail slot—a tiny pair of old-fashioned spectacles, perched there like they were waiting for someone. Curious, the driver picked them up and took them inside. Later that evening, an elderly gentleman knocked on the reception desk, asking for his glasses back. Turns out, they belonged to Mr. Stoy's great-uncle, who had accidentally left them behind decades ago.
4. One night, while everyone in the office was preparing for the weekend, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'All lawyers, please report to your desks immediately.' When they arrived, the senior partner smiled wryly and announced, ‘We’ve been hired by time-traveling clients from the future—we’re handling their divorce!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been an elaborate prank by a regular who’d snuck into the office. The end result? A fun Friday afternoon and no actual lawsuits.
