its not a “party”. it’s more of a meeting between important contacts/vendors/factories/clients. not to mention im hosting many people, and there was a lot of money spent to make this happen ---

just be honest? last time I went that was good enough. If you haven’t delayed it before you can probably just call up and do that ahead of time… one of the most important duties in a democracy is jury duty, it’s ashame when people lie to get out of it. ---

> [@BuickGN](#): > > umm are u serious? > > big no no, not to just not show up, they will hunt you down Obviously joking. This is just like those “I got a ticket in canada” threads. BTW, you’re screwed now anyways, because with your number, the day is pretty much toast as is. I went with a somewhat low number, and was tied up until late afternoon before they decided not to choose me, or anyone else for that matter. ---

how soon did you start the trial from the original jury duty date? i forgot an even bigger part of the equation. myself and another guy here are to drive out THAT night (JUNE 11TH) to a trade show up in lake george. we both HAVE to go because he is driving an ambulance and i’m driving a firetruck. im supposed to be there from june 12th-15th UGHUGHUHUHGHHGHGHGHUUHUUGHH. ---

it started after they made me wait till the last minute b4 calling my number, i went in and the judge was like see you all tomorrow. so basically i sat there for 8 hours only to be told i had to come back. i think they do that shit on purpose to people who cancel or reschedule. lol no drinking for you… ---

I did not have to serve a full trial. I went there the first day with a number of like 75 or something. They tossed me up there with a bunch of others, askd all of us general questions relieved some, kept others, and that was the end of my day. I left there around 3pm. It was an attempted murder trial with the defendents being father and son pair. They were found guilty a few months later, lol. ---
