I was 18 and ended up on a DUI case. The defense attorney during selection asked if anyone had never drank before. Naturally since I was not of legal age yet I raised my hand and was soon removed from the jury. I wasted most of my work day plus the fuel to get there and got nothing for it.

My second jury summons was for an entire month of potential service. My wife had multiple doctor appointments per week that she would be unable to get to without me so I filed paperwork with the court and was released from duty.
