14. I wouldn't mind doing my civic duty, but I can't.
1) If I'm not working, I don't make any money. The six bucks a day that they pay you for being on a jury isn't going to go far to pay a $2K/month mortgage and $1700/month health insurance.

2) I can't sit still for more than ten minutes. If I sat in a jury-type chair for eight hours, someone whould have to (literally) carry me out of the courtroom.
