They had a very long form and asked tons of questions to the point where it was very intrusive. If they knocked for the same thing this time, I'd say I was heading out the door for a flight and would not be back for six months (last time I avoided them twice, but the third time was a "charm"). if people were at home when i handed it out, they got the short form the long was certainly given when people were not at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They left notes on the door to schedule an appointment (which I ignored ? ). She finally caught up to me one day, and I wasn't quick enough to think of an excuse. I shoulda never answered the damned door. I wonder if she'd have given up after a third note? I have no idea how many times she actually tried to contact us before the notes started. It could have been a note left on each try, or after 10 tries... I never thought to ask. We never answered the home phone, and now we no longer have a landline, so this time (if there is a "this time") I will be more stealth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last census the only answer we gave was the number of people in the house, a woman from our church was a census worker that year and she kept calling trying to get answers to the rest of the questions, I flat out told her I would not answer, she finally gave up.

No, the real question should be, "Why did the WH make up a lie this lie about it being on the census prior to 2010"? https://www.npr.org/2018/03/27/597436512/fact-check-has-citizenship-been-a-standard-census-question Dont post fake news please! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
