Man Receives 16 State Farm Junk Mailings In One Month
State Farm is powerless to stop its representatives from filling up your mailbox with unwanted solicitations! Terry has contacted one of the agents listed in the 16 mailings he's received over the past month and was told, "Sorry, it's from corporate." He then lodged a complaint with the corporate office and received a response from their "Internet Support Representative" who basically told him he's out of luck. We're not sure what State Farm's sales strategy is here; maybe they're just betting on wearing him down through sheer volume? More » -

State Farm: This 1963 Chrysler Newport Is Not An Antique, Unless You Give It A Fresh Coat Of Paint. What?
Humphrmi's 1963 Chrysler Newport has antique license plates, meaning he can't drive to or from anywhere other than car shows, shops and parades; but State Farm won't insure the car as an antique unless it gets a new coat of paint.

Ms. Duckworth reported the accident to State Farm, who erroneously reported her as being the driver. (Apparently they can't understand how two women could have the same first name but different last names). More »

State Farm Lacks Persistence of Vision
State Farm is convinced that Rick was involved in a hit and run in San Francisco in July, even though he was out of town all that month and it seems they don't even have the right license plate. Just to be sure, they stopped by Rick's house to take photos of his car, a feat in and of itself as they intially demanded he bring it to their offices himself. More » -

State Farm: Love The Smart, Make Them Stupid
State Farm offers a 'good student' discount on their car insurance to kids with a decent GPA. I'd like to call foul on this: there's no statistical evidence that stupid slackers like me drive any worse than the pocket-protecting elite. More » -
