I might have to go to jury duty. I'm really nervous about it. I hate all aspects of government anyways. I had some ideas about getting out of it, but I heard there was something called "contempt of court"? Not to mention NY state only pays 40 bucks a day. Here are my ideas:
1) Tell them I have a blood clot condition and I'm employed by myself in the warehouse-the only other employees are two old ladies. They can't do any heavy lifting or run the tow motor etc.

2) Wear my "9/11 was an inside job" cut off T- shirt and accuse every one there of either being Freemasons, Illuminati or pedophiles. (Actually I believe this is true but I don't know how this will be received.)

3) Bring a whole bunch of Joes and Cobras and play war with my action figures.

Please advise, this isn't a joke!

This is guaranteed to work in all 50 states...Tell them you are racist and use some racial slurs while you do it....(of course I have confederate flags tattooed on my forearms so its a given when people see me. )

#2 ought to do the trick....

When asked how you feel about the death penalty, tell them "Hang them all and let God sort them out!" Will not work in Texas however.

Just tell them about your conspiracy theories and if you the judge does not send you to the rubber room, you will never be called to jury duty ever again.

People love the freedoms/liberties of our nation but kick cicvil responsibility to the curb.

Meh, just suck it up. It won't kill ya.

I served jury duty for two days last year. Wasn't crazy about it but I'd dodged the bullet numerous times over the years so I guess my number finally came up. I treated it as an excuse to blow off work for a couple of days and people-watch.

...and the plaintiff in the case I listened to was a cute chick, so that was a bonus.

I think number 2 will be most successful

I've been on a Grand Jury before and it wasn't that bad. We viewed 256 cases and around 200 of them were all possession of meth. I HATE child abuse cases. It's impossible to tell who is telling the truth.

That's what I mean. I don't have time for people's foolishness. Even when I was sleeping in my car, broke and homeless, I didn't rob anybody, assault old ladies, break in someone's house or even steal food. I don't have patience for people who lack any kind of morals or integrity.

I had to go back in '09, but never got called. There were a couple of hundred of us, and only 12 or so were needed. Wasted 8 hours, but had a book with me and they had computers you could use, so it wasn't all that bad.

You know what man, I am sorry fur taking it this far. I guess I miss read your thread title of "help me get out of jury futy" ? Seems the context of that is easily misconsrued as something else. Bummer about your leg.

I've been selected for jury duty several times over the years. It's inconvenient for sure, having to call in all the time and you can't really leave town. In my county, jury duty last for FOUR MONTHS! It's insane.

However, the last time I had jury duty I was actually chosen to sit on a jury and I thought it was cool.
