About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At State Farm, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins always had a peculiar habit. Every Tuesday morning, he would arrive exactly at 9:15 sharp and ask the same question: ‘Do you think my house will ever catch fire today?’ One day, a young intern nervously answered, ‘Sir, statistically speaking, your chances are very low.’ With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Jenkins replied, ‘Well then, I guess I’ll just sit here all day until it happens!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including Mr. Jenkins himself, who left smiling, never changing his weekly routine.
2. At State Farm, employees often wonder if their coffee machine has a mind of its own. Every morning, it mysteriously stops brewing just as someone is about to get their first cup. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an extra large box. He joked that maybe it was the coffee machine’s long-lost twin. As he opened it, everyone held their breath—would this be the fix? Miraculously, after a few clicks and whirs, the machine started brewing again… but only for five seconds before stopping once more. The whole office erupted in laughter, realizing they’d become a family bonded by their daily coffee crisis.
3. At State Farm, every morning around 8:30, someone starts whispering into the intercom: ‘Insurance is for fools who don’t believe in fate.’ Employees shrug it off as just another prank until one day, they realize… One day, a delivery driver hears the voice and thinks, ‘What the heck?’ He follows his instincts, listens to the intercom, and suddenly finds himself buying an extra policy. Turns out, the whispers were just State Farm’s way of saying, “Hey, you never know when that package might be late!” Everyone laughs it off, realizing the joke was on them all along.
4. At State Farm, one day a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a small, mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old envelope with his name scribbled on it. Inside was a handwritten note: ‘You’ve earned a free donut from your friendly neighborhood State Farm agent.’ Turned out it was just someone’s prank, but everyone got a good laugh—and a donut—from it.
