Jury duty is like a wet/dry vac...

I've been called in like 4 times, and each of them fell during school, so they canceled it. They never ask when I'm out of school. Always wondered about it, but I always hear stories like this. I have like 5 cops in the family, so I really doubt I'd make it past the initial questioning anyways...

Every time that I have attended jury duty I have always been asked to leave after they poll the jury about their career. I guess they have something against educated white males.

Bingo, hence the reason they let me stay. I fit one of the profiles but not the other.

Oh GOD. When I went down to Albany for Jury Duty there were so many schmucks involved. One kid had driven something like 5 hours to be there and he kept announcing it like some badge of honor; you could tell he was actually excited to be involved. And like you said, when it came time for the "does anyone have experience with ____" questions, suddenly ever stupid detail of everyone's life was out on the table. They're yes or no questions, they aren't asking because they're deeply interested in your experiences as a human, leave that **** to Chicken Soup for the Idiot's Soul please.

Jury Duty is rough... I was on duty for 12 days (across 3 weeks) before it ended in mis-trial. Total waste of time in my case.
