Census taker just stopped by the house

[Kalicokitty]

Scared me to death.
Sitting in my chair, online, I hear a car stop, doors open and shut, dogs start raging, I'm walking downstairs to see wtf, and just as I get to the bottom of the steps(inside house) I hear a knock at the door, so I stop, and take out my phone to see if I missed a call, nope, dogs are flipping out so I'm not worried about someone coming in, but I'm not going to answer it not knowing who it is.
So I wait, I hear the screen door shut and they walk away, I go back upstairs and peer out the window and see a truck with 2 people in it and one has files on their lap and is leafing through them, this is where I got scared, started thinking it was a knock and talk, so I watch them and they drive off.
I wait a bit, get my keys, and head out to the mailbox(excuse to look around) when I open my door a little slip of paper falls out and I'm thinking "please don't be a cop card, please don't be a cop card" Pick it up, breathe a sigh of relief, fucking census taker.
Slip says I gotta call them in the next 2 days for a 10 min interview or they will stop by again.
No I did not send my form in, didn't think they'd come this fast, I plan on calling and doing the interview.

I should have just sent it in, with all the people out there, I figured no way will they ever get around to sending someone to each house, wrong.

[MoldyFrogToe]

[GeorgeSmiley]

[Frozenguy]

I sent mine in but only answered the questions I was obligated to. We have a duty as citizens.

 

[GangGreen]

ironic or not. here is what they are doing with this country and this is what they are doing for the citizens

My buddy did census work last census and told me if you don't answer when they come out and don't call in, they send a supervisor out it. That's why I sent it in.

Just didn't need it.

when they return, invite them in for some coffee n cookies... then stuff em under the stairs where nosey government workers belong.

Live and learn.
As incompitent as the goverment is at everything else, who would have guessed they'd be right on top of the census.

 

[MoldyFrogToe]

I never knew the census was such a big deal to the govt, funny how when it comes to knowing about us they're right on top of it..

 

[TexasToker]

It is not only a big deal, it is a historic record kept for as long as the gov't is alive. You can look up old census forms from genealogy websites and even see signatures of deceased relatives. I think that is pretty cool myself.

EDITZZZZZDDDDDD

Rip, that was a pretty harsh post there.

Man imagine what taking that 5 minutes to fill out the little form would have save just in stress alone...
