About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one morning, an urgent announcement crackled over the AZ Allergy & Asthma Institute’s intercom: ‘Attention, all staff—we appear to be experiencing a severe dust outbreak!’ As everyone scrambled for masks and antihistamines, it turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally dropped a box of flour in the waiting room. The staff spent the next hour laughing about how no one noticed the giant cloud of white powder until the receptionist sneezed so hard she nearly levitated off her chair.

2. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the AZ Allergy and Asthma Institute. He shook his head as he got out of the truck, muttering under his breath: ‘I’ve never seen so many boxes marked “Do Not Open While Breathing.”’ He opened one box curiously—just a packet of tissues. Then another: packets of cough drops. As he approached the last crate, he heard a voice from inside: 'Hey, can you help us breathe?' Turned out it was just a prank by the staff, leaving him with a newfound respect for their sense of humour.

3. In the quiet suburbs of Phoenix, a little girl named Emma often sat on her porch swing, watching the world go by. One day, as she dozed off, she heard a strange humming coming from inside the AZ Allergy and Asthma Institute next door. Curious, she peeked through her binoculars and saw something odd—a small, furry creature dancing around the reception desk. Emma watched in amazement as the tiny creature wove its way between desks, leaving behind a trail of glittering dust. Suddenly, an exhausted-looking nurse emerged from the back, scratching her head. ‘Oh no,’ she muttered, ‘another one got past our filters!’ Turning to Emma, she smiled sheepishly. ‘Just our new intern—she’s allergic to everything.’

4. In the middle of a hot summer day, a delivery driver pulled up outside the AZ Allergy and Asthma Institute with a box marked ‘urgent’. As he approached the door, he heard a faint whisper from inside: ‘Please don’t forget your mask.’ He opened the door cautiously, still hearing whispers: ‘Don’t forget your mask!’ Inside, everyone was wearing them—even the plants had little face coverings. Turned out it was just an overly cautious receptionist who thought he might be allergic to germs. The end.
