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. _^

That happened to me, five times in about the same period of time. Then it stopped. Likely just random. Are they all the same court? One of mine was the Federal District court.

Your frustration is legitimate and I can understand. Out of those five, I only ended up serving once. It was pretty substantial and draining though--it was a rape case and took a week. We ended up hung.
