Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after sleeping in, I finally sorted through a stack of mail I had been putting off and I found a Jury summons. Thinking it must be coming up soon, I checked the date, my appearance is scheduled for 7:45am on November 16th. Today is November 17th. FML
Today, I came home after spending two days in the hospital for suicidal ideation and found a summons for jury duty in the mail. FML

Today, after moving back in with my parents, I found out they had held on to a chunk of mail still being sent during the time I had been changing my old address. Included was a summons to jury duty. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé is going to be deployed on our wedding day. FML
Today, I found out that I have to reschedule my upcoming honeymoon because my office will be understaffed that week, due to the boss going on vacation right after my wedding. Oh, yeah, and he's in my bridal party. FML
Today, I got a letter from the state that I'm being divorced. I've never been married. FML
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML

Today, I accidentally slept in two hours later than I was supposed to. Today is my wedding day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

About 15 years ago I got a summons-told them I was currently involved in a deposition for a malpractice suit (I was). I must have gone way to the bottom of the list, because I haven't been called since lol.

Why'd you even bother opening the letter? If you "didn't get it" they can't really punish you for not showing up, now can they?

tell them you have misanthropy a psychiatric disorder that means you hate all people. Then mention since the person got arrested and had to go to court they are guilty anyway.

it's time to have a serious talk with the pain you are marrying.

Why does he have to have a "serious talk with the pain" he marrying? Did the bride come up with some elaborate scheme to make OP have jury duty on their wedding day? When he is busy at jury duty, she will blow up the court house, collect the large insurance policy she has on him, and marry his twin brother. Disclaimer: I watch way too many telenovelas.

Jury duty is so easy to get out of. I've been asked to report for it multiple times, none of which I could attend because I'm the sole provider for my family. On your letter there is an option to write back informing them why you can't make it, in sure your wedding day is good enough reason as any.

Yeah just say to them "my wedding is on the day I have jury duty and I can't just reschedule it" Surely they will make an exception since it's supposed to be the happiest day of your life. Weddings also aren't too cheap just saying
