How I got out of jury duty..
 

I was suppose to show up for Jury Duty at 8:00am this morning. Well I woke up at 8:30.

So I call and tell them I missed Jury duty cause I am sick. She says ok can you come tomorrow? I say no I'm gonna be sick. she said ok how about the next day? I said no I'm gonna be sick that day too.

So she says well I can postpone it until January. So I told her I wanted to write a letter explaining how I am a business owner and can't really fuck around in court for two weeks.

So she just kind of laughed and said ok I'll dismiss it.

If I worked a 9-5 job for the man, I would gladly do jury duty. But I have a business to run and can't hear a case on whether a crack head should go to jail or not.

Sweet, glad 2 hear you got out of it. At least you were honest (sort of).

good for you :)

Most of the time, if you say you work in the adult industry, they give you a pardon.

Nobody wants a porno webmasted in the jury, really.

i did some stupid shit a long time ago and got in trouble when i was like 14 or 15. i use that and get dismissed every time. it works like a charm.

I have never attempted to get out of jury duty in my life.
Actually served earlier this month, well did not serve since I was dismissed early on but I attended.

I also run a business and honestly do not see that as an excuse to ditch this civic duty.

i've never been on a jury, do they know i exsist?

Well maybe your business is different than mine.

I would also use the same reason, I'm sorry, but my business needs me.

Yeah but I didn't even have time to go to the court room..

I would hope so.

Typically though your in and out in under 2 hours.

if you are registered to vote then probably not.. The also get it from DMV I hear, so if you have a license..

Glad to hear that you got out of jury duty..lucky you overlept

So you flaked out of an appointment and thereby probably wasted other people's time, then lied about it, made up some lame excuses when pushed and only in the end came out with the truth? And you're bragging about it on a business message board? The very same message board were you are trying to get people to use your program and thereby put their trust in your reliability?

Yep same here.. everyone bitches about jury duty.. but I bet they would want a good jury if their ass was in court.

i went in to jury duty a few months ago. Out of 20 people i was the first one to be called up and screened. They explained the case. Then asked me if theres gonna be any issue with me being unbiased. I said yes. They asked what the problem was. I said the guy looked guilty as fuck, so im voting guilty, i dont give a shit if he did it or not.

'dismissed'

seriously

:pimp

I think affiliates would rather have me making sure our sites are working and converting well for them, rather than sitting in a waiting room, just to tell a judge my story and then be dismissed. But then again what does my little program know about business...

i tell them im a psychic and i all ready know the outcome of the case

Why ?

Because you wear a T-Shirt with your URL on it ?????

jury duty doesn't put food on the table or pay your mortgage :). May be its about time they considered paying like $40 an hour minimum.

I hope you get the next OJ trial

i just did jury duty and that excuse wouldn't fly in los angeles county. where are you based?

What I said isn't about knowing business, which I'm sure you do, but rather about being trustworthy. I generally like to do business with people who won't make up random excuses if something goes wrong, and I think that goes for many people.

I don't know you personally, and I don't know whether you are reliable in business or not. All I'm saying is that this thread doesn't make a good impression :2 cents:

yeah you don't know me.. fair enough.

A good way is to just say you hate the police and the law

Go in wearing this shirt from t-shirt hell.

exactly why i got out of jury duty this year. :2 cents:

i filled a questionaire out and mailed it back twice got out both times. one of my friends went for jury duty for like 2 weeks straight before and it cost him more between parking and lunch than he actually made.

Something you should try Datinggold. :pimp

punkworld has a valid point. Bragging about lies and deceptions on a message board is not a very good business decision.

When I read that I thought you must live in California.
Then I saw you are from California :1orglaugh

that wouldnt fly on the east coast.

I could not have said it better. One word- CHARACTER.

You are just a lucky guy, I hope that would fair to some webmasters too.

haha... probably the best way to get out of it. How likely are they to call you back again with that attitude?

last time i had jury dudy i did not show up or call i totally forgot about it have never got another one.

You are a sack of shit.

Sometimes telling the truth pays ;)

You are lucky as they usually do not let people who are self employed off that easily.

Like Laura Lee said later on --- Character.


I'm just wondering how a "big baller, shot caller" doesn't have employees to handle shit for them.

You're saying you can't take a few weeks off because your site front and join pages change sooooooooooooooooooooooo much and are sooooooooo dynamic that if you left for a few weeks no one could convert, and your sites would go down?



WOW



Baby Moses cries for you.



:2 cents:

:1orglaugh

Yes, I'm sure you never step away from the office for a few hours every now and then to run errands or even go have some fun. What about your affiliates then?
