Called for the second time in 6 months. The summons said 8:30 AM but they
didn't do anything till 8:50 to accommodate the stragglers. Then they
showed us this horrible 15 min video about how wonderful and fun jury duty
is. Bunch of crap about bonding with your fellow citizens Then we did
nothing for an hour till they said we don't need you and sent us all home.
Didn't pay us a dime.
At least i know where my tax $ go. Courthouse was magnificent. State won't
fix the roads but they spare no expense in fixing up where they work.
OMFG!!! What a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE experiance!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe, I think your message might have had more impact if the first
'horrible' were typed in lower case letters.
That would have had a crescendo effect, really driving home just how
horrible that horrible, HORRIBLE experience must have been!!! I know I'm
going to have nightmares for a week and will dread opening the mailbox
for months to come. <shudder>
LOL.
I actually thought of that after I hit Send.
I'd much, much rather have jury duty work like that than have to
hang around all day for several days, THEN have my service be over.
Maybe you'd be happier in some other country. Like, say, Saudi Arabia. I
understand that no one has to do jury duty there. It would be a win for
the rest of us too, 'cause, well, you'd be gone.
Just a suggestion.
Yeah - i'm glad i didn't have to actually serve on a jury for days,
though i think i could have wiggled out of it. With my monstrous
criminal record, i'm surprised they even summoned me.
Only idiots, losers and unemployed fucktards show up for jury "duty".
Why the hell do you even bother going? The request you get in the mail
is not cert. mail, there is nothing to prove you got the invite to be
a juror. I have never gone & my friend was told the exact thing by an
officer of the court. The court mails out X amt of summons but the
court does not know your there until you sign in. I personally can't
afford to waste a week on some bull shit case, I would hang every
bastard that came in front of me.

Well spoken!
That's 1,000 times worse that what Hitler did to the Jews in World War One.
WWI! Excellent.
Sounds like jury duty can be the basis for Speedy's own _Mein Kampf_.
