I never answer the phone for numbers I don't recognize either. It seems most of the ones we get repeatedly eventually give up but every once in awhile I'll just give in as well but I've never had to have a lengthy conversation or had the number continue to call after getting rid of them.abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05956734205798602159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944257210487042191.post-68099088865656648252012-08-22T13:13:19.209-04:002012-08-22T13:13:19.209-04:00are they calling your cell phone? block the number...are they calling your cell phone? block the number.

I could not stop laughing! You could call your state attorney general and see if you can complain about the census people, but I'm guessing it's considered government approved harassment. Next time they call, ask if they heard the troll in the closet story.

I guess we didn't return our census thing fast enough in 2010 because they sent someone to our house and he asked if my parents were home.
