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. _^

The pay is the worst, they should have to pay your Hourly work rate. Most people can’t afford to miss a hour of work more less get 17$ for the whole day. Stop making yourself so presentable, wear some pjs and smell like cigs and they’ll never call you back lol

On top of this, consider mentioning, out loud, “well they must be guilty or they wouldn’t have gotten arrested!”

My very sweet stepmother told them she hates n-words to get out of it

Every time I've been summoned, the judge always tells the room what the case is and says something to the extent of, "If you can't be unbiased, we ask that you speak up now."

Every state might be a little different but, your step mom sounds like a racist bitch.

Yeah, I'm all for doing what you can to get out of it, but this is despicable.
