I never had a problem with the Census until back in the 80s, don’t remember what year, the guy that came to our house then kept contacting us and bringing his wife by wanting to meet with us about their ‘new business’ in which we could take part and make a ‘lot of money’. Similar to an Amway business. I thought it was totally wrong of them to use the information they obtained as Census workers for their own private business and to keep contacting us. I did make some calls but never really got anywhere, it was like whomever I talked to didn’t really understand the problem. Perhaps it was an ACORN worker I was talking to each time???
I had this real pushy old bat come by about 4 or 5 years ago. Her delivery was so abrasive she made the already prying questions very hard to cooperate with.
I cut her short saying I was real busy, closed the door on her. She came back many times. I never answered the door. She then called in the evenings, threatening to “talk to my neighbors”, saying she’d “find out one way or another”. After complaining about her to her office, her boss arranged a call where I’d answer a few quick questions. I think it was about 5.
So, if the victim of this crime was half the PITA this old battle axe was, I don’t condone murder, but I understand.
