If your like some I've heard about the judge will give you a lesson on how it's your civic duty to serve and to not even think about asking to be excused as he will not excuse anyone unless it's a valid medical condition preventing their service.
Personally I've only been called once. That was about 3 years ago so I made it 41 years with no calls. It was for some guy in a car hitting another guy on a motorcycle, at the light right behind the courthouse. One snag was that the hitter was 'not white', the guy hit was white. The guy doing the hitting didn't think he should have to pay for the other guys medical bills. Based on the questions asked, and the people let go home right away the 'not white' lawyers wanted to eleminate as many of the folks they thought wouldn't go their way right off the bat. So, multiple tatoos, shaved heads, and basically anything related to the the whole biker or suprimicist image got you off with no questions asked. Then the questions started. If you had ever been in an accident and had problems getting paid, if you believed in chiropractic care, if you believed that motorcyclists were apt to get hit by people in cars not paying attention, you were let go. That's where I left because I've seen how people behave around my 30,000 lb service truck as well as around motorcycles, I've had major problems with insurance companies, and a chiropractor is the only way I got my neck straightened out and bearible on a daily basis. So, anything else that happened was without me there.
Basically if you answer the questions from either lawyer with anything that might bias you toward the result they want, they are apt to let you go. Once let go like that, at least here in NC, your duty is considered complete and you can't be called again for at least 8 years.
