The nature with which she denies something she's admitted before in concert with other factors suggests that many of her coping behaviors were predisposed. Obviously, none of us is actually trying to diagnose her as much as parse behavior into an framework that makes it decipherable, but certain recountings of her high school life offer a similar collection of behaviors.

You were raped.

I'll get you sake.

It's serious, guys....

"Ratched?"

Or you could cut your thumbs off so you're not tempted to use them to scroll down. I think that might be the more practical option.

Did you just call Buddy a buffoon because you're retarded and don't know how use a phone?

I don't have a problem. I'm just commenting on the brutal subtext of your otherwise innocently intended question.

Yet...

If you think jury duty is more exciting than work, you're sorely mistaken. It is not exciting or fun.

More like a ball sanitizer.

Nabs would be so proud.

Well.... Which begs the question.... ...and exposing yourself to abuse, all so you can.... Right?

Finish him!

That's a dumb thing to experiment with.

I've found the two trials I was on to be interesting to, but that in no way makes me want to be on jury duty. OP: the best way to get out of jury duty is to not try to get out of jury duty because everyone at the court knows what you're trying to do. The best way to get excused is to somehow identify with the defendant and make it fairly obvious you share experience with him, her, them. For example: last month I got called in and spent two days going through the jury duty selection process. Being a middle aged white dude means I'm like jury gold if you're a prosecutor, but, in this case, I didn't really have to try to get out of it because i was the only person in the pool that owned multiple commercial properties and one of the defendants was the landlord of the other. After the section process was done, I was like the first guy the prosecutor preempted. You just have to be able to tie your own experiences with these of the defendant that would make it likely that you would empathize with them on a personal level.

I don't think your ability to pay has any bearing on whether or not they will forgive it. Even if you were bankrupt, they'd just file a claim and cut their losses.

Well, assuming you were in good standing up to that point (meaning all paid up), you might have a leg to stand on. It depends on some things - like how full the class was at registration and whether or not it was part of a degree track. They wouldn't have much of an incentive to let it go if they thought you took the class spot from someone else who needed it and was unable to enroll.

Did you attend any of the classes for that course?

How much do you owe?

You guys probably need to talk to each other about this a little bit....

I would think mounting a tv would be a big thing....

Is it still up on the pole?
