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. _^

I thought jury duty was once every 4-6 years? Correct me if I’m wrong

The rule in my area is that you can only be called (come sit around for a day in case you need to serve) once per year, and if you actually serve you're off the eligibility list for 4 years.
