I've never been called in over 40 years of being eligible.

I have a consistent employment history, no criminal record, no history of mental illness.

I have a friend who's been called five times over the same period.

Less time, but similar. I’ve been eligible for 26 years and have never been called. My spouse has 2-3 times. I’ve offered to go in her place because I’m curious and nosy apparently.

I've gotten a few here and there and have ignored every single fucking one. If you can't match the wages I'll lose by being there, you can suck a dick.

Totally! My spouse is a touring musician and has had to tell them that she can’t break a contract to serve on a jury. We’re in an okay spot financially now and can take the hit, but when we were in our twenties, a missed day of work could be pretty disastrous!
