      My address on my license is still my parents house and I haven’t lived there permanently for 18 years. I move around a lot (hopefully I can finally stop that this year) so I wasn’t going to get a new driver’s license every year or two. Whenever I get a summons, I just reply with one of the exclusions (“I live more than 40 miles away”, “I don’t live in the state anymore”, etc…). I’ve never had to go 😂

          Mine made a clerical issue when I updated my address and decided there were two of me once. Only found out because both of me got jury duty. That was a fun one.

          I’ve lived in two other states so far other than the one on my license, but I also haven’t driven in those states in those times (other than something like ZipCar or renting a car) that I’ve lived there. The time I did live in the same state, I lived at least 1.5 hours from that address/county so I could just claim “I’m too far away”.

      I got summoned once, but it was from my previous state because I had forgotten to change my residency. So I responded that I’m out of state and promptly changed my license and voter registration. Boom, dodged that one. :)

      But seriously, I would actually like to serve on a jury.
