who didn't register to vote for fear they'd be called to jury duty.

I've been registered to vote for a half century now, and I've only once ever gotten jury duty notification. Once. I didn't get selected for that jury, and I would actually like to be a real juror at some point in my life.

I don't understand why people are so terrified of jury duty.
