vystral Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 So I have jury duty tomorrow...Don't the *ahem* wonderful people we have working for us in Washington realize that I am spending ALOT of money to attend college? That's just the thing, though: college or school in general is no excuse from jury duty (at least in pa). Well, I want those hypocritical fat-cats to pay my $150 dollars a day for every day that I am out! But, you can't fight city hall... ok...my complaining session is over now...

Guest c4evap Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Don't feel too bad. Maybe you'll get to put some child molester behind bars. Always look for the silver lining... ...failing that...DUCK! c4 :cyclops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them you've got midterms. If they've ever been students themselves, they'll sympathize. If they don't, then to Hell with those cold, heartless bastards!

str82u Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I feel for you, they pay like $5 a day in Cumberland County,PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 it's like $12 here, per day it's not so much boring as it is the uncomfortable surroundings. while you're waiting, during selection, and pre trial etc you can't have like, a cell phone, or a mp3 player or even a book to read. the court house also doesn't have the most easy going furniture, as all the chairs are hardwood with no cushions, most of the time it's just a bench you end up sharing with other people that has no backsupport on it (usually the selection process, the longest part of it so i've heard). ironically i've found that if you don't have a drivers license they never summon you as that is what they base it on. i've never cared for cars or owning a car so I just carpool to important things like work or school. i've been eligble for jury duty, oh going on six+ years now and I've never been summoned.

moomini Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 dont think they pay at all over here (UK), only pay your expenses (travel etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenhank Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Well, there is always the option of making yourself seem like the worst juror ever, so you only have to sit through the selection process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vystral Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 UPDATE: I got downtown about 15 minutes late, due to parkway traffic. No prob, but when I got downtown, there were ABSOLUTELY NO parking spots. I live in Pittsburgh and today was the day of the big Steelers parade. I drove around downtown for 45 minutes and ended up in Oakland, where my fiance goes to school. At that point, I gave up. I don't know if I'm 'in trouble' or anything for not showing up, but the whole situation was just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenebrae Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 In the future, genetically engineered super potatoes will determine the results of trials. The secret of getting out of jury duty is saying you hate all races. Or the old Jury mind trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quosego Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 We don't have jury's here just an all knowing judge, keeps it simple.... Allthough I think jury duty (without the painfull seatings and waiting time) could be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vystral Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 I tried my best to get out of it. I wore goth-ish clothing and put mousse in my hair. I tend to look pretty scary when I dress that way. I was hoping they would say I was not a credible juror. Oh, well. It was a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str82u Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Yeah, or give it the old Pauley Shore try. "Hey, I know that guy!" "Oh, that case, I've reading about that on the internet." or "Yes, I was just dscussing this with Orson Welles." and last but not least.... "Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take...."
