    Because I read the message in case it’s an emergency, which in most cases it isn’t, and am too busy with something to reply right away. Then I forget about it and don’t remember until days later, at which point I‘m too embarrassed to reply at all.

    I once got called for Grand Jury duty! It was one day a week for 3 months. Where I worked they didn't pay for jury duty, so if I had to serve it was basically a 20% decrease in my pay for 3 months! Who the heck can afford that?!?! I was far enough down the list that I didn't get selected thank God!

    Here where I curl up at night, the county is doing a pilot program to which jurors get paid $100/day. It's nice but if you are a state employee, tough bamboo for you! You're not eligible.

    Done it twice. There was one case at the court where it was into its 46th week. In that case those jurors may have lost their jobs but the income from the courts after that amount of time would have allowed them to still live.

    I am pathologically shy about speaking in front of more than one person. I was about to have an anxiety attack when the judge was interviewing everyone and they got down to the last juror to be selected and all eleven other selected jurors are staring at the remaining three of us as yet to be interviewed. Thankfully he selected the person next to me and he became the 12th juror.

    I got called for jury duty once. All I had to do was show up every morning for a couple of hours and drink cheap styrofoam cups of tea while the court tried to get itself organised. I only saw the actual courtroom once, when they got around to the selection. I wasn't selected and I'm glad because it was a r.ape case. The face of the accused (who allegedly broke into this woman's house in order to assault her) is still seared into my mind.

    They CAN, but it seems like they seldom do. I'm in my 60s. I've received a jury summons four times in my life. Two of them I was not needed when I called in the weekend before, so I didn't have to do anything. One of them I got as far as sitting in the jury selection room but they got all the people they needed and sent the rest of us home. And one time I was actually a juror and had to spend about three days sitting through a trial. So big picture it has not had much affect on my life. I do feel a bit sad for folks who end up on something like the OJ Simpson trial or other (in)famous trials that drag on for weeks/months and everyone wants to access the jurors if they can. Nobody knew or cared about the trial I served on except the people directly involved with it.

    Guessing different jurisdictions handle it differently, but you may be found to be in contempt and fined or even possibly jailed. In practice, I don't believe consequences are usually severe, if any. A friend forgot about jury duty in Chicago - she called the courthouse and they just said they'd mail out another summons for future jury duty. They seemed pretty unconcerned. It may be different in areas where they struggle to round up enough potential jurors.
