I got a jury duty summons once and the experience was a fucking pain in the ass because I was young at the time. Like 19 or 20, and I had to constantly be checking my email, which I hardly ever used at the time, to see if they had e-mailed me and then when they did they gave me some phone number to call and it was an automated voice that said I had to show up on such and such date & time. So I'm thinking "Fuck I have jury duty soon. How long is it going to take, days, weeks, months? I don't fucking know and I don't want to even be involved." That went on for like a month or two because I kept getting emails to call the number and find out the jury selection date had been delayed multiple times because of behind the scenes litigation, negotiation, or whatever the fuck. Then it finally was settled out of court and dismissed but it still annoyed the shit out of me because I had to spend any amount of time thinking about it at all. I hope I never get another one.
