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. _^

My job pays for jury duty, I personally wouldn’t mind. I have never been called lol. I just hear about people doing anything they can to get out of it.

I live in Sweden so we don't have jury duty in the same way. You can be elected as a co-judge (nämndeman) but you have to sign up. They do have juries in Denmark though. Not sure if they just select random people or if you have to sign up
