Re: I have jury duty tomorrow morning.

I was summonsed (is that correct? It looks wrong) to jury duty once in Cali and showed up for it. They refused to just let me out of it due to school obligations so..we sat around for 3 hours, during the course of which we learned that the trial we were waiting to be chosen for would last approximately 4-8 weeks. I was SO PISSED OFF.

Then they called a long list of names of people who would NOT be in the jury pool and mine was the very last one. So I went home happy.

Then I got a summons here in Pennsylvania...and I wrote them an e-mail that said I'm on anti-depressants and felt that they would distort my judgement and did not feel competent to be a juror. They said I didn't have to go. Yay me!

EDIT: I am not actually on anti-depressants anymore, but it remains an excellent excuse.

Re: I have jury duty tomorrow morning.

I showed up, watched the little video they made us all watch at once, and when the lady was like "I'll be at this desk right here if you have any questions ^___^!!" I walked over and was like "uhhhh, yeah, in that video it said I might ask to get out of jury duty. I'm a student" and she was like "oh that's just fine it's supposed to go to a judge but he'd let you out anyway and I really think you guys should be exempt cuz you have classes and such and it's just not fair to you that you have to miss class but here is an excuse thing that you can show your teachers have a nice day you're free to go ^_____^V" and I'm like o____O k.

On my way out (waiting for the elevator (it was on the 6th floor of the courthouse wtf)) some other guy saw me and said "Oh, you got out too, eh? I got out of it. My wife is expecting...in a month!! MWAHAHAHA!!" He seemed like a nice guy.

Tomorrow, I'm serving as witness.

I'd love to say it's for a gruesome serial murderapist, but it's for a speeding ticket.

Re: I have jury duty tomorrow morning.

Nobody likes jury duty.

I'd totally do it. Sure, it'd be a huge waste of my time, but if the court case were super awesome, I'd totally be willing to do it.

Alas, my luck might be like my mom's, who got her first summons when she turned 58. Then she got out of it somehow.

Re: I have jury duty tomorrow morning.

OH GUYS I FORGOT TO TELL YOU THE BEST ****ING PART

While I was there we had to watch this video about what it's like to be a juror and all that crap. Thing is, when they turned on the TVs to start up the video, ****ING DR. PHIL WAS ON!! Oh and he just happened to be questioning some guy who had been lie detector tested and he was asking him all sorts of questions like "DID YOU TOUCH THE GIRL'S VAGINA?" and "DID YOU INSERT YOUR PENIS INTO HER VAGINA?" It went on for a few minutes before they started it up.

Most of the jurors giggled. There was an air of "oh **** can't laugh this is supposed to be serious " yet people still giggled. XD
