Philomena spilling the truth 💀

Yes. And I bitterly regret it to this very day.

Yeah that drives me crazy lol

Because I read the message in case it’s an emergency, which in most cases it isn’t, and am too busy with something to reply right away. Then I forget about it and don’t remember until days later, at which point I‘m too embarrassed to reply at all.

I'm ready, I've always been ready

I once got called for Grand Jury duty! It was one day a week for 3 months. Where I worked they didn't pay for jury duty, so if I had to serve it was basically a 20% decrease in my pay for 3 months! Who the heck can afford that?!?! I was far enough down the list that I didn't get selected thank God!

I've been called twice and never got a case.

I find it a really weird concept. Glad my country doesn't have it.

I'm on call Jan 10 through end of March. Luckily, the court is in walking distance.

And if you run your own business as a one person show you're totally screwed. I've been called once but they didn't pick me. I was happy, but it also made me wonder why they didn't want me. :)

Around the world, there are worse court systems.

Hot tip: If you don’t want to do jury duty, just don’t go. They don’t send the summons certified mail, so they have no way of proving that you got it.

I got called for jury duty once. All I had to do was show up every morning for a couple of hours and drink cheap styrofoam cups of tea while the court tried to get itself organised. I only saw the actual courtroom once, when they got around to the selection. I wasn't selected and I'm glad because it was a r.ape case. The face of the accused (who allegedly broke into this woman's house in order to assault her) is still seared into my mind.

It is an intresting process. It kind of gives you a behind the scenes of the judicial system .

I've been called four time, however, since I am not a citizen I cannot do it.

I got a notice once and they wanted me to drive 6 hours to the courthouse and they were not going to pay mileage so I could have spent a lot of money serving jury duty. Luckily I had a medical exemption.

As a non American, what happens if you just simple say no?

I've never met anybody who even knows somebody who's served on a jury.

$15?!? I was robbed, I just got $5. Also it helped that I know every judge in the county, so I got out of that real quick.

Are they a thing anywhere except the USA? Totally foreign concept in my country!

Aaah, the wonders of the trickle-down dictatorship

Same day , different years

Is he gonna put it on the fridge when you're done?

And to drink ma'am? Water

I swear my ears do that on the pillow side

Hahaha well that's now one of my new years goals

A good chef is like a good friend, they have the ability to pay attention to something else beside their own drama.

No one can dunk on you harder than your mom

(eats like ten breath mints for good measure) there we go, that'll REALLY show them.

Or you only meant to think it.

You'll be dead you won't care

When you have to read the same comment over and over 'cause you keep zoning out.

Omg, you were a sturdy child to survive a two story fall

As annoying as an inflamated testicle! 🕷

My fiancé got married while I was deployed. A friend’s wife ran away from Utah to LA with a rock band. They were LDS

I go shopping with my mum a lot, mainly because I don't have any friends to go with and every time I end up regretting it. It takes her 3x as long to look through a store as it takes me.

Most likely he already had the quarter palmed in his hand and was messing with you.

Family, like the Jupiters.

Welp

Tickets are the bigger risk, n doubt. Scalpers are a bigger problem than airlines, despite the latter's best efforts.

I'd loved to have been that guy/girl in school that had it all figured out or had a talent. Or even had parents that made an effort to guide me in anyway. The older you get, the more doors close while your figuring out where your jigsaw piece fits.

This one time I slept funny and completely lost feeling in my foot. Not pins and needles, I just couldn't feel it at all. Then it got better. Kinda confusing.

Holy carpet. That is a creepy idea.

I was having suicidal thoughts a while back. my friend helped me cope with it by googling most painless suicide methods and reading the wiki page with me. how utterly unsympathetic she was actually really helped for some reason.

You are asking out of curiosity.

Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.

I say ouch when my character in a video game gets hurt
