Stars... they're just like us.

Well, maybe not just, but still. We do our hair toss, check our nails—and report to jury duty.

Whomp. whomp.

Yep, our beloved Lizzo was summoned for jury duty and she was "not excited." Totally relatable.

In a TikTok earlier this week, Lizzo shared her process for getting ready to fulfill her civic duty.

"I'm not excited about jury duty. I'm actually really stressed about it because I've just heard people getting really gruesome, violent cases, and I have a really sensitive mind and I don't like hearing or seeing that."
"I would cry."

She then gave a glimpse of outfit options before locking down on a Yitty prototype bodysuit (from her own line), Black History pants and Prada sneakers.

She finished:

"Wish me luck!"

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
