Just finished my first door-to-door experience. My block has 14 houses on it, and out of those I interviewed 2 people, 5 told me they had already turned in their census, and the rest were not home.
My first interview was horrible. I was struggling with all my papers so the guy invited me into his garage. Seemed like a nice gesture, but after that he got pretty hostile as I asked my various questions. He wouldn't give me the name of the female who lived with him, and it took forever just to get his own name.
me: and are you of hispanic origin?
him: *smh face* what do you think?
me: it's on my sheet so I have to ask it sir. Can I put you down as African American?
him: yea
He told me the other person who lived in the house was of hispanic origin, then when I asked about race he said Vietnamese smh. To make matters worse, some chick came to the side door quickly putting her shoes on, and he asked her if she had sent in her form. When I asked her what her name was he was like "she don't live here. See this is what I'm talking about, prying into my business." So yea...unless the listed chick was a friend, I'm guessing he was cheating on her with the other chick lol
Second interview went really smooth. The guy had a bunch of small kittens slowly walking out the door, so he kept putting them back into the house as I asked questions.
Last house I went to had a doorbell that rang the theme of Star Trek, so I expected someone like Cheebs to answer but instead it was a big black dude
