It's on par with the DMV and the Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile store as one of the most unpleasant places on earth we spend a great deal of effort avoiding at all costs. Except jury duty is actually worse because you're not walking away with a new license or family minutes plan to show for it. In fact, you could spend days enduring the juror selection process only to be rejected as one of the jury panel members.

But we're going to go out on limb and say that's not happening, so hug your loved ones and be thankful you're not spending the day at the L.A. County Courthouse getting hit on by creeps wearing Tevas with socks. Mmkay?

And just for fun, here's that hot dog bun freak out:
