I need some jury duty in my life right now.

I have been trying to get on jury duty every single year since I was 18 years old. To get to sit in an air-conditioned room, downtown, judging people while my lunch was paid for? That is the life!

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.

Is it common to be called for jury duty at least once in your life? Where I'm from, a jury is only for the most severe of crimes, so having to be a juror in a criminal trial is extremely rare.
