A few stories people tell about this place

1. At NFU Mutual headquarters, a young child visiting with her family pointed excitedly at the ceiling one afternoon. ‘Look!’ she exclaimed. ‘It’s dancing!’ The adults looked up but saw nothing unusual—until they noticed the office plants swaying ever so slightly in unison. A few days later, an elderly gentleman arrived for his routine visit. As he shuffled towards the reception desk, he stopped and whispered conspiratorially, 'I heard those plants are actually doing the tango every Wednesday!' Everyone laughed, realizing that NFU Mutual might just be the only insurance company where employees dance on their breaks.

2. At NFU Mutual’s downtown branch, a delivery driver noticed something odd in his truck bed—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he opened it to find an ancient coin collection worth far more than expected. The delivery driver quickly closed the box and decided to keep quiet—after all, who could resist such a find? But when he casually mentioned it to a neighbor over coffee, the whole office soon knew. Before long, everyone was bringing in their own boxes of ‘ancient treasures’ from deliveries, hoping for another lucky strike. Turns out, NFU Mutual had just started using recycled packing materials.

3. At NFU Mutual's downtown branch, an elderly gentleman entered the lobby and stopped abruptly. The reason? He swore he heard someone whispering ‘claim denied’ from behind the counter. The teller smiled warmly and asked if everything was okay. Turns out, our gentleman had simply misheard his neighbor’s dog barking outside—a tiny terrier named Claim Denied, who loved following people into buildings. Everyone laughed, including the old man, as he left whistling a happy tune.

4. At NFU Mutual’s downtown branch, early one foggy morning, a security guard heard a strange tapping sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he approached the source and found an old envelope stuck between the doors. It contained a note: ‘Please deliver this to Mr. Smith.’ The guard laughed, realizing it was just a misdelivered letter. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned NFU Mutual, everyone in town would wink and say, ‘They’re still waiting for Mr. Smith!’
