if you don't get picked for a trial, you don't get to go home. You go back to the jury waiting room, sit on hard chairs, and wait.

Jury duty is all about waiting.

You wait to go down and answer questions.

You go back upstairs and wait to hear if you've been picked.

You wait for another judge to need another pool of jurors to choose from.

Jury duty is hell. It is a living hell -- IF you don't get on a jury. Because they don't send you home (again, maybe it's different where you're from).

I'm 25 and I've had jury duty four times. :-(
