Ok FReepers, I came home today to find a note left by a census worker stating that they would be coming back within a day or two to complete my census interview despite the fact that I sent in my form the day I got it. I'm looking for creative ideas to answer her questions and generally mess with her.

Then they'll know for sure.
LOL!
Bullsh*t! I told the census worker that, and she showed up three more times at my door. And by the way, I had already sent my form in. She told me they'd never gotten it. If you've read other census threads, you'll see that many Freepers sent their forms in and were told the same thing as me.
My son has his official religion on his dog tags as “Sith Lord”. I researched this and found out about 300 persons in the Army have this as well. Outstanding. Religion........Nationality........it could fly.
Answer the door naked...invite them in for a Q&A...Keep yourself in full view... scratch if needed then offer snacks.
I agree. The census worker came to our house. Number of people, no phone numbers, no race/ethnic, nothing that is not in the constitution. You don’t need to be rude or an ass. I would not advise anyone to do anything that might raise the cause anyone to think you are dangerous. If you want to do that, go ahead, but I’m not encouraging it.
During the last census I had a particularly tenacious worker assigned to me. I had of course not sent in my form, just like this time. I worked at home so I’d see her coming; a 300 pound black woman in a new Cadillac. I watched as she’d roll out of her Caddy and waddle down my walk and ring the bell several times with no response. This went on several days. She finally caught me outside working in the yard since I didn’t hear her coming. I answered the first few questions regarding the number of people living in my house at the time then she “axed” me my wife’s race and I replied that that had nothing to do with counting the populace. She said she’d just assume she was white, since I’m white, so I accused her of being a racist! That was great and really rattled her. Then she “axed” why I was so distrustful of the government and didn’t want to give them the answers she sought. I then made it personal and used this as a teachable moment. I asked if she was referring to the same government that turned dogs and fire hoses on black protesters in the 60’s. Or perhaps she was referring to the same government that infected black military men with Syphilis in a medical experiment? She replied “Dey did do dat din’t dey”. My interview was done! Have a nice day.
LOL..Don’t forget to ‘speak in tongues’ too!
Brilliant.
Now that is cute!
I was thinking of having all the kids speaking in pig latin maybe. Or we could all just chant the number of people living here.
How about quarantine tape and we all come to the door with N95 masks on?
If you generally answer, but simply refuse on some specific questions they’ll count you as done and leave you alone. If you outright refuse to answer at all they’ll assign another worker to go out, then another, then...
If this was true then they would have left me alone a long time ago. I sent in my form and answered questions about the number of people in the household over the phone once as well. They continued to call, and call and call. Now this. Should I just tape record my answers and have it run in a continuous loop for them?
LOL..the possibilities are endless! I’m jealous. I’d love to mess with some of their heads. Last time an eco snot came to my door seeking my signature for some job killing eco nazi proposal, I went on a rant and the guy ended up backing away...LOL! I told him to wait while I went and got my copy of Atlas Shrugged and when I came back he was gone...lol.
“You’re just counting earthlings, right? Oh, then we’ve got nobody to report here.”
If men are from Mars and women are from Venus.....where are children from?
Whethe through incompetence or intentional make-work, many who ¤ailed in early are getting personal visits. Likewise giving the number of people, but not names, gender, etc. Was either below the bar originally set—or something they’re following with now to keep the job going.
