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.

The Constitution specific a federal census every ten years.
No. It is an "Enumeration" (Article I, Section 2, Part 3). The "Enumeration" is strictly for the apportionment of Representatives to the House. Please show us where the "Census" is referenced in the Constitution. Maybe some of us that have read it a few hundreds times missed it.

I keep waiting for one to show up on my doorstep. I want to see their face when I tell them my race is elven. "Muggle" would be good too. (That is, unless you happen to be a witch or wizard.)

Because I’ve already answered the questions and don’t have time for the follow-up crap.
Did I mention that all of the “Are you sure you’re not hispanic?” question were just a bit irritating?

That should be youre right.
You are correct once again. Me bad. I think you will be able to complain about my spelling to these people after we regain our freedom. Anyone involved is going to have to answer for their crimes if there is ever going to be justice.

I think it would be fun to have the census worker come to my house.Usually, that would be the case. We sent ours in, but they came by anyway. Turns out they had hired the young lady from 3 houses down to cover our neighborhood. Since she and my daughters are friends, I had to be nice.

... but theres no reason to take it out on the lowly worker. There's almost never a reason to "take it out" on the lowly worker, as long as they are trying their best and being polite about it. It's ungracious and without class to treat service people badly. They're usually working in a sh!ty job, getting sh!ty pay, with a sh!ty boss, with no power to fight back against those who may mistreat them, and they are usually providing you with some kind of essential service, no matter how trivial that service may be. You should be thanking God that you aren't having to do their job. In a worst case scenario, you can politely ask to speak to their supervisor for help if they are completely clueless, and you really, really need whatever it is that they are trying to provide you.

I was subjected to the much worse "American Community Survey" a couple of years ago. When the follow-up came to the door, I stated
"IhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyouIhavenothingtosaytoyou..."
After about the sixth one she turned and left. She came back when my wife was home. My wife simply stated "I think you have the wrong person." That worked just as well.
My favorite story was the fellow who answered everything with the word "egg." When the came to his door, the only answer he would give was "egg." The more they asked, the more emphatic he got. "Egg. Egg! EHHHHHHH-GGGGGGG!!!" They didn't bother hm anymore.

Start by researching Title XIII Sec 221. Count you they must to satisfy the Government's responsibilities under Article I Section II of the Constitution. Mess with the enumerator and all you are doing is driving up the cost to the government. This is one of the few ways that you personally can waste government money just as fast as the gubermint itself can do the same. If you don't like the process, demand that your legislators change Title 13. Until then, stop wasting taxpayers money, take the 10 minutes, and complete the damned form.
