Everyone always seems to be super bummed when they get jury duty, so of course when I saw the summons I was like, "aw man, jury duty!" But really, I'm kind of excited since this has never happened before.
So I won't be doing any of this:
Or this:
And instead I will happily wait for hours with a good book and accept my $6 or whatever at the end of the day. (Okay maybe not happily. I do get bored kind of easily.)
(And hopefully I won't get picked, because I can't even watch crime shows on TV because they freak me out.)
Have you ever been summoned for jury duty? Anyone ever been chosen as a juror?
I have been summoned no less than THREE times, including one federal summons! Fortunately, I was attending an out-of-state school every time, so it never came to pass. The streak lives on!
ReplyDeleteWhat the what! :-D I wonder how they select people, or if it's totally arbitrary.
DeleteWow, this is your FIRST summons? I got my first one almost two months after I turned 18! I still get them for my hometown, even though it hasn't been my legal address for seven years (get it together, court system)! I've never had to actually report, though.
ReplyDeleteSorry ^^ was me. Darn work email kicking me out! haha
DeleteHaha, no prob, I figured it was you when I saw the name. Is the old one the address on your drivers' license? I still use my parents' address for things from my college and stuff, because I've moved a few times since then, but finally registered to vote here/changed my DL after I got married. And well here we are.
DeleteI've never had one either - fingers crossed!!
ReplyDeleteI've never got a jury summons, I'm so jealous! It's unlikely I'll ever get picked for a jury, but I would love to serve on one, I obviously like the judicial system :)
ReplyDeleteI think it would be really interesting to serve, as long as it was some kind of small civil case and not like a drug or violence trial. I'm sure someday you'll get a shot. :)
