It’s the locations that are so bothersome to drive to in a huge metro area. Every two years I kept getting picked for JP jury duty, only to sit all day doing absolutely nothing.
Yes, we have that problem too. So far, I’ve been called three times, and never chosen for a trial - we usually get out by noon if we aren’t chosen.
But I got to wander around and see a little of the tiny county seat town :-)
It’s a responsibility, like voting. You just have to deal with it, and try to find something interesting or amusing in it.
