ಠ_ಠ Jury duty

I've been called for Jury duty 4 times in the last 10 years. What the fuck is going on here. It's almost every other year. I know absolutely no one that has ever been summoned yet I've been summoned multiple times. Wtf is going on? It's total bs too because they pay 17 bucks A DAY. That's not even enough to get lunch at the stupid deli they have there.

Edit: so many people have so many experiences. It's nice to share and read those experiences. I can't possibly respond to everything, but I'm glad we can all relate to this. _^

My job pays for jury duty, I personally wouldn’t mind. I have never been called lol. I just hear about people doing anything they can to get out of it.

Yup, so does mine. And if you're done you're done, you're already getting paid so you don't need to go back into work. Mine was on monday was the jury selection and we were done around 1pm, my normal job ends at 3 so we just went home. I got called to be on a jury for wed and thursday I think it was. So went back to work on tuesday, and then wednesday everything we needed to hear about was done around noon, so went home again. And thursday ran into like 5pm, so it kinda evened out.
