suck it up and deal with it like the rest us NYers. Shitty thing is when you call Sunday night you might not even be called in on Monday so you will have to call again Monday night and see if you are called Tuesday…etc…You are basically on call all week. ---

I would just ask an elderly guy in a nursing home to go in for you. Old retired guys love shit like this to do. ---

it should come with the system If your on welfare, you get jury duty, simple as that. It will stop people missing work, so they can pay you like crap. ---

If your on welfare they should put all of them in a little box and ship them off to the middle of nowhere, somewhere where my having a job doesn’t benefit you. ---

Be glad all you got was jury duty. I got hit 2 summers ago for Grand Jury which was 3 days a week for a month. But i wont lie I kinda had a good time. It made me feel alot better about myself after hearing how f-ed up some people are. ---

no, my moms just a loud phone talker, and all the conversations were simply informal conversations about various treatments with other nurses, doctors, surgeons ect shes never had conversations about patients w/ anyone outside the circle of those that are actually involved in said medical care, therefor noones privacy was actually violated ---

best thing to get out is to know someone or something related to the case, in some way shape or form that would bias your opinion of the outcome. ---

No they should not do that! That would mean the most inept portion of society would be deciding the fate of our country. Lame. I already feel that 1/2 the judges in this country aren’t qualified to be in the position they are. > [@BuickGN](#): > > If your on welfare they should put all of them in a little box and ship them off to the middle of nowhere, somewhere where my having a job doesn’t benefit you.

Last time I got a notice for jury duty was years ago. I was summoned, called and resceduled, summoned again, called and this time the woman argued with me about it saying i can’t keep resceduling, told her i can’t just miss classes for this, and she told me she’ll take me off the list then. 🤣 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/getting-out-of-jury-duty/49521.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/getting-out-of-jury-duty/49521.md?page=4)
