Yep - called twice in my life. The first time I got on a few cases (day) - was pretty interesting. Second time was not called at all.

So far no, thankfully...
Yes, I was called three times and served once. The very first time I was called - and it was so interesting, I would never hesitate to serve again - unless it was a case that was going to keep me from work for a long time! I was on a case that lasted about 4 days and we brought back a guilty verdict. Now here is the weird part: about 3 weeks after I was on jury duty, I was at a party and was talking about my experiences, etc. A young man turned around and looked at me and said - I am the guy that you convicted!
How strange was that? He was cool, I was a little nervous but it was a "what a small world" moment!
I've been summoned twice but both times when I've called the day before as instructed the recording said I was not needed.
*knocks on wood* I've never been called. I hate sitting somewhere with people I'm not familiar with, doing sometime I'm not comfortable with.
I've been called, but not selected. The closest I came was being a backup in the courtroom.
I've been summoned several times, but never actually served. Two or three times I had to ask to be excused due to work issues at the time -- not that my employer would have given me any grief about serving, and I would have received full salary, but the timing was just impossible. Once, the trial did not go ahead and the pool was not reassigned. I appeared for selection twice, of which I was called once and challenged.
I'd actually like serve. I think it would be very interesting.

No, I have not, although it would be rather interesting. . .
I was called once when I lived in California. I don't remember the exact details but it was a woman who fought with the cops when she was arrested. I was actually selected for the jury for the final selection. I think they asked a question about having good experiences with cops or something (this was years ago) & I said yes & had to tell a brief story about a cop who helped me with a stalker guy who kept bothering me. They let me go.
