Despite my official U.S. Census Bureau messenger bag and awesome clipboard, not everyone knew exactly what I was doing walking their neighborhoods and knocking on their doors. The following is a list of people that folks mistook me for during my time as an enumerator:
1. Police Officer
2. Apartment Staff Member
3. IRS Agent
4. Washing Machine Mechanic
5. Jehovah’s Witness
6. Resident’s Girlfriend
7. Resident’s Baby Mama
8. FBI Agent
9. Plumber
10. Girl Scout
11. Doctor
12. Salesperson
13. Pool Repair
14. Mormon
Can’t make this stuff up, folks.
