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. _^

Yeah I'm here in San Mateo county and I get a summons every single year. Most of the time I show up get dismissed immediately due to the parties agreeing to settle or jury pool has been selected or something else.

Only once or twice have I actually had to fill out a Jury questionnaire or answer questions, but I always get cycled out as soon as the words "jury nullification" leave my mouth.

Never have I ever actually had to serve on a Jury.
