Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

[Adam]

...but it urks me to my core that they feel it is appropriate to tell me what I can and can not wear while serving on a jury. *shrugs* thus is life....

You can thank your peers for that. Let's face it. The people in the legal system wouldn't feel compelled to specify a dress code if a number of people hadn't shown up looking like slobs. So, instead of relying on people to dress appropriately (which they can't these days, it seems), they impose a dress code. The people working for the courts are people, too - it's not like they sit around thinking of ways to eff with you.

I forgot to give another example - it might not be the defendant to think about, it might be the people on the other side. Perhaps someone killed someone's son or daughter, and the family is hoping to see them get convicted. Imagine their stress if the jury is sitting around in tank tops and chewing gum the whole time. Btw, I'm not saying that would be you. I'm saying that's probably an example of what the court is trying to avoid.

I don't recall anyone saying it was good for nothing.

Way back when I posted the photo about Canada, some clever bloke changed it to Australia

I don't disagree with anything you have said. I absolutely don't think they are doing it just to eff with me, and I certainly believe they have the best of intentions. Sometimes the best intention is soured by ill action. Forcing me to wear a certain type of clothing as a juror is wrong, regardless of intentions. If I don't wear clothes the court deems worthy, I will get a failure to appear notice and be forced to come back. This isn't fair. What if I can't afford clothing the court deems worthy? (They specifically ask for slacks and a nice(r) shirt.) Only members of the middle class get to be jurors? I absolutely understand why they want me to wear nice clothing, but I think they overstep their power by forcing me to.

Wait, so somebody made a similar joke about Australia as you'd made about Canada..... And you remembered this months later?

Only one thing to do in a case like this, find one of those value stores and go "Herb Tarlek" on them!

P.S. Don't forget the white belt and shoes.

Uhhh, do you think that Canadians actually are?

It cracks me up that you got insulted when someone used the, "I know you are, but what am I?" comeback on you.

I'm guessing that they didn't say what could be worn under the slacks and nice(r) shirt.

Not really I just didn't care cause it was pretty funny to be turnd back on to Australians I like it

Are you worried about wearing slacks and dress shoes, knowing the only dress shoes you have are heels?
You know how heels kill your feet.

But just incase

I'm not sure if the LA SC has heard of or read the Constitution of the United States of America, but I have, and I am guranteed freedom of speech

Just not in a courtroom. See "My Cousin Vinny" for more details.

The Los Angeles Superior Court made sure to let me know that there is a dress code for jurors. If I were to show up in shorts and a T-shirt they will send me home and postpone my service.

Not trying to steal your thunder, but,... Had an interview at Chipotle a few weeks ago. I showed up wearing a long sleeved button up shirt, dress shoes, belt,... The other guy, was wearing a sweatshirt with a dragon or demon or some sh!t on it, with his 5x too large pants, saggin', and smelled of stale cigarette smoke, shame and regret. We were interviewed at the same, which I don't mind. More than dressing appropriately, I killed the questions. I was 'on' that day. I went in a week later to follow up, guess who steamed my tortilla?

Alex beat you out for a job at Chipotle?

He fit in better I guess. Did he ask you if you wanted fries with that?

Isn't it time one of you started a new thread, "Really Boring Stuff Only IV: A New Bore"?

Couldn't we call it, "Mike's home page" ?

I can't wait for episode V: the boredom strikes back when we find out that Old Alex is Young Alex's father.
