So the Census called me last night.

[Ares]

Me: Hello
Census worker: Hello, is this the "Ares" residence?
Me: Yes
Census worker: I'm a representative of the U.S. Census we see that you didn't complete your survey.
Me: sure I did, I made sure to answer the question that mattered and that was how many people live at this "residence."
Census worker: Ok, but I need your name.
Me: You're not going to get my name or any other information outside of enumeration.
Census worker: By law..
Me: I don't give a sh*t what law you think you can hide behind to force me to give information that I am not going to give.
Me: Whats the prosecution rate of the Census going after people who don't fill out the survey other than
the required information?
Census worker: I don't know
Me: ZERO
Me: The survey was sent in finished, this conversation is over. Good bye.


So that's how the call went.

Yeah probably, the answers won't change for the next person that calls either. I use VOIP and can block calls. If it comes to that, I'll just block them.

How do you even know the person phoning you is from the census bureau?
No one gets info from me on the phone, unless I called them or I am sure who it is.

We had the same thing, only they came here in person. They made 3 visits here and even tried to question our neighbor. They came back a 4th time and we were home and just told her that she is only getting the #of people living here. They are wasting their time with this.

Yeah but it looks good for the employment numbers LOL

You shoulda told them "I'll only answer questions of this nature in person", then when they show up...give them the same story as you did on the phone. Let them waste a little more of our money...it doesn't really matter at this point.
