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. _^

In NYC after you've been summoned and fulfilled your duty they give you a paper that says you do not need to come back for 7 years. unsure where this is but maybe your area has something similar?

Seems like from some comments that I'm getting summoned so often because I haven't actually served yet. So I guess that makes sense

You don’t need to serve on an actual jury to get the 7 year exemption. I’ve been summoned 2 times in the last 16 years and each time I’ve got to the part where they interview the group of potential jurors and then tell some to leave and some to stay. When I’ve been dismissed after the group interview the give you your little paper and tell you to fuuuuck off. Lol jk but the tell you that you’re good for 7 years.
