Don't recommend this. You'll get excused, I guess. But they'll call you out on it and chew you out.

Wear a shirt that says 'Black & White DON'T MIX' and also a little cross on a necklace.

Basically try to be as racist or sexist as possible and you won't get chosen

Tempted to say "good thing responsible people are getting called", but I'm afraid that would get taken as sarcasm in this topic.

I'm responsible enough to not end up on trial, I'm responsible enough that I worry about my job not getting done while i'm wasting my day in a giant room waiting to maybe have my name called just so i can say something like "I hate all people I think they're all a****** I could really care less what this guy did but if he's on trial he's probably guilty".

^ Wrong answer, I know. But i've done Jury Duty before and there are tons of people (ie, my wife) who've never been called. wtf.

They're wise to most of that stuff. Trying to appear racist, sexist, religious, etc. doesn't work much anymore.

The thing that works now is pretending that you believe cops are never wrong. Like, don't do it overkill, but make it seem like you have a bias for police and that anybody arrested is likely a criminal.

It's weird how so many like to judge people, but hate jury duty.

I've only been selected once. Luckily all I had to do was call by phone, and they never asked me to come in.

My former hometown once had a police officer hand out jury dury notices at the local Wal-mart.

I would say just one more reason never to shop at Walmart, except I'm not one of the Walmart haters. >_>

Funny. The lawyer (or was it the judge? I don't remember) asked if anyone was related to someone in the court system. They barely looked at me afterward.

I love jury duty. I get a free paid day off work and all I do is sit in a room for 1 hour and play videogames. I did get selected to be on a jury once but it settled outside of court at the last second.

If you've got a 3DS then you can just pick up one of the Virtual Console games. There are a few really good ones out now (Gargoyle's Quest, Metroid II), and there's plenty of other stuff to download.

Well i'll always have a ride to the court house. The problem is that my wife relies on me to drive her to work every day. So if I get called for jury duty she'll have no ride to work every day. Problems of having only one licensed driver in the relationship

There are excuses to get out of jury duty. On the thing that came to me in the mail it mentions some of these. Like if you are personally responsible for another human being and participating in jury duty will affect your ability to do so, yadda yadda yadda... I'm sorta hoping the fact that i drive my wife to and from work is enough to get me out of it.

that should be able to get you out of it when i got picked for jury duty someone used that exact excuse and got out of it. While i got picked to be on a murder case for almost 2 weeks :/

thats what i'm thinking. for me to pull jury duty that would mean my wife and I are missing work and thats a financial hardship. I think it'll be enough.

When it boils down to it i would love to be on a jury for any type of trial, i really would. But i just have too much other crap to deal with in my own life to deal with that.

yea it was really interesting and kinda cool to see how a trial is run as well as getting paid in full from work to since and listem to people talk for 4 hours a day wasn't bad either. But after the first week it started to drag on and on and by the end i was sick of it. Actually coming up with a verdict was also quite annoying since getting 12 people to decide on a verdict took 10 hours of staying in a room and talking about the same things over and over again.

yeah generally they don't bug you too much if you explain that look you can't right now due to financial hardships.
i mean i think you're also given a free pass to go 'no don't want to do it delay it 6 months' once when they send it to you too. i did!
