Couldn't find parking, so I ended up having to run half a mile to the courthouse to make it on time. Then we had to sit around for an hour. Then I finally get into a courtroom... they proceed to go through 70 potential jurors out of 80 of us to get a jury and 3 alternates. For a grand theft and assault on a police officer case that they claimed would be "short and simple".
I got owned by Jury Duty
- Thread starter retro
- Start date
Hope everything goes ok with the case
I don't care anymore, since I was one of the 10 left sitting without being called.
Nothing like wasting a day being a possible juror.
Oh well that sucks
I always get called for Jury duty. I've been a juror 5 times! I don't mind because unlike most folks, the gvmt pays my full salary and we turn in the jury check, so I feel like if I'm serving some poor schmuck isn't forgoing his salary to serve 
Wow!!! I've never been called, not once...and I'm probably one of the few people in the world that actually WANT jury duty. Of course I'd probably get dismissed anyway b/c of my line of work, but I still want to do it.I always get called for Jury duty. I've been a juror 5 times!

I actually wanted to get selected... I was annoyed that I wasted all that time and wasn't even called up.
Saw Jury duty and thought of this.
And don't they like send you a letter saying "You have been selected for jury duty on this date" or something like that?
Sounds terrible, luckily I have yet to be called up for it...
