When was this? I thought the census issues were several years ago.
"Beware of Dogs"
"Trespassers will be shot..."
Is the census being taken again? Seems it was just taken four or five years ago.
In any event, I have always done what you did.
For added fun, call 911 and report a trespasser who's about to get shot if the police don't show up within 3 minutes.
Did he ask you if you were Mr. Lobster?
If he walked up my driveway and asked if I was Mr. Repeal,
I would just say, nope, never heard of him.
D@mn! I was going to link that!!!
Call your Sheriff’s office and report a trespasser, after you ask him to leave and he refuses.
Sheriff’s authority trumps fed drone’s authority.
I told them whom do I write the check to, screw.
Once each ten years. Personal info held secret for 72 years.
Sounds to me like someone “casing” the place for a future burglary.
Thing is with our town - 1200 folks - and they hire out to be census takers. They’re our neighbors so we’re polite to them and don’t cause them grief.
They can do a $500 fine but it sounds like you did good.
Seems strange though since the census was 4 years ago.
As far as I know, the census is done every ten years. Why would he be doing one now?
be Distrustful...but verify....
Two words...F*** OFF!!
To Census taker..........”How many people do you see now?”
Census taker: “one”
Me: “Very good, You have your census, have a nice night...elsewhere” (door slam)
The only thing better would have been if you were smoke-puffing a very aromatic cigar right under his nose the whole time. Maybe that would have been even more proper! {^)
Seriously, though, well done! Bravo!!!
I came home from work one day and a census taker lady was sitting in her car in my drive waiting for me. Mind you, there are 2 NO TRESPASSING signs posted at the entrance of my farm.
I pulled my car past her into my garage and walked up to her. She said she was a census taker. I told her I answered all the questions I’m going to answer on the form that I had mailed in.
She said she had more.
I turned and walked away into my home. I then let my 3 Irish Wolfhounds out to visit with her.
I’m still laughing about it.
I never heard from the Census Bureau again.
