I was banned from an amusement park because, many years ago. They sold drinks, in cups, that were shaped like bongs. My friend and I were sitting in a small pavilion area, that was in a rather remote corner of the park. We were smoking cigarettes, which was fine where we were, and my friend and I were talking about turning the cup into a bong. At one point he stuck his face on the opening like you would a bong. Some people, in the next pavilion over, were staring at us, then left. We were punk kids, like the music, so we were kinda used to random people staring at us, and we thought nothing of it.

About 20 minutes pass and a cop walks up to us. He asks us to turn over our paraphernalia, and leave the park, and he wont arrest us. We give him a WTF look, and say what paraphernalia? He says people reported seeing us smoking from a large, purple, water pipe. Friend says "you mean like this?" and holds up the cup. He looks at it for a good 10 seconds, and then says yeah that looks like a bong, I can see why they may have thought that. He then told us about how he was a punk, pulled up his sleeves to reveal GBH, and Casualties, tattoos. We commented on how he isn't a punk, now that he is a cop, those things are mutually exclusive. Short conversation on punk ethics ensues. He then says sorry for bothering us, and walks away. About 10 minutes later we are walking back into the main area of the park when we see punk cop walking with a man and starts flagging us down. The man is the park manager, and even though the cop straight up said it was a cup THEY SOLD, he wanted us kicked out, and trespassed. Cop asked us if we were going to leave now that we are asked, and we said yes, and left. However he stopped us at the gate demanding the cop get our IDs to put on file, cop tells him we left when asked, he can't actually write us up as a trespass if we leave upon request, unless we come back. So we started walking back to our car, and as we are getting up to it, the manager runs, literally runs, up to us and takes pictures of us, and our car.

Thing is, our friend circle included the daughter of the owner of the park. So we called her and told her what happened. Ban pulled, though that same manager was still there the next time we went, so he wasn't fired. We also refer to that guy as punk cop to this day.

Wow. Some people can’t mind their business! Imagine being upset by the way a couple of kids are breathing on a sunny day…

I got banned from hinge/tinder for the crime of... being trans.

turns out if enough terfs report your profile as "misrepresenting your identity" you'll just get banned, no questions asked.

I mean, were you? From scary headlines I see, it is very much for your personal safety to not surprise the wrong person. Sometimes being right is not worth it

A night club some where in the DC area. Apparently some people have fun at these places and it was extremely popular

Anyway I was getting to know my cousin again after years of no contact, getting to know how toxic she was. We cut the line and brushed past the bouncer and walked around the club. As an average sized girl, she was more or less able to lose herself in the crowd. As a bigger guy just trying to stick with someone I knew in an unfamiliar place, I literally had a bouncer chasing me through the crowd, grabbing at me to try to drag me out. I am very much not a fighter, so consider myself extremely lucky we just got peacefully kicked out

Oh dang lol

not a fun night, it seems.

I was banned from an arcade because I had discovered that if you placed a strong enough magnet near the coin door of most of the cabinets you could pull together the leafs of the service switch and just get free games. Was a wee kid so they just never allowed me to enter again. But boy wasn't that the start of a hobby. Now i Reverse engineer things for fun.

I am banned from an hospital and a country.

No, I was not an unruly patient,but instead called out their bullshit as a healthcare provider working with them. And reported them. Which lead to them banning me. Which funny enough is illegal here as well.

And I am banned from entering Turkey. Turkish airlines nearly killed me during a flight by having some sharp pieces in my food. Had a gastric bleed from it,including a hospital stay in a foreign country. Well. My travel insurance sued them and thinks got ugly. In parallel the political party I then was a somewhat active member of back then (as in "running for state parliament"-levels) was getting in arguments with Erdogan. So one day I received a letter by my foreign department that I specifically should not enter Turkey or I might see a Turkish prison from the inside.

I'm banned from a local martial arts dojo. The soke always told the same stories about his teachers and also has a rule that he won't teach anyone with a criminal record.

I did some digging on one of his teachers and found that he killed someone in cold blood and took a plea that threw his teacher under the bus. His teacher was convicted of murder and the soke's teacher was convicted of manslaughter for his role.

I called him out for being a hypocrite because he won't teach criminals, but has no problem being a student of a criminal.

He sent me an email telling me that I was no longer welcome in his class.

I work near a casino. I told my colleagues I'm banned for counting cards, so I don't have to go with them and I have an easy and bulletproof excuse to not go.

Mysterious. I like your style…

I got banned from Six Flags once when I was a kid

I was on that ride that shoots straight up and hangs for a moment before dropping

I wanted to get a picture of the view at the top, but but when I pulled the disposable camera out of my pocket some change fell out and it nearly hit the crowd below

When getting off the ride the young guy running the ride rolled his eyes and gave me a speech he was clearly forced to memorize, banning me from the park.

I felt bad about what had happened, and I just walked away to find my parents.

He didn't take my name or picture. No one ever came to escort me from the park, so I guess I was never actually banned.

Just made me think I was.

A ritual excommunication? I wish we had a transcript. Were you abjured?

I'm banned from Hollister.

As a teen, my sister & I were trying on clothes, and we realized that it was nearly the alloted time when our mom was going to pick us up. If we were late.... there would be hell to pay and we wouldn't to be able to go out for a while. So I scrambled out of the clothes, and, in a rush to not drop any of the stuff I was trying on, I stuffed it all into a pair of pants and draped it over the hanger for clothes you don't plan to purchase outside of the dressing room. We thanked the attendant and headed for the exit.

Suddenly, she was following us. As we exited the store, she yelled from the entrance "You are banned from ever setting foot in here again!! I will call security if I ever see you!!!" pointing at me. I was already in a rush, so I was confused af.

The only thing I can think I did was putting clothes in the pants..? Did she think it was a shoplifting attempt..? But I had legt it behind..? I dunno.

Anyhow, I've literally never purchased anything from there before or after. I hung with goth kids. I was just there because my sister liked it. Lol Plus, it was so ridiculously dark in there, you could barely see anything anyhow. No desire to shoplift their tiny, low-quality clothes. Ever.

It closed down years ago. I still remember that angry woman & how stunningly confused I was lol

EDIT: oh..... the title says "fun places"..... oops.

Well... to make up for wasting people's time, I also got banned from our local county fair because my sister's idiot friends were throwing coins at people from one of rides that went up in the air.

I banned myself from casinos where I live and in all neighbouring countries because the house always wins and there should be no way I can give them money. (The gambling regulators allow you to ban yourself) I've never been to a casino I just know I can't be trusted.

Reddit. First strike was an anti religion comment. Got back after my 3 days and the first thread I saw was something in one of the popular subs where everyone was shitting on religion. Second strike was cheering on the bear in a clip where a bear turned on a circus trainer for "wishing harm". Third and final strike was for shitting on the manosphere for, and I quote, "hatred towards vulnerable and marginalized groups."

All three came in the last two or three years, after being on the platform for more than a decade and never being suspended before that.

I'm banned from certain casinos, virtual and IRL, because I work in the gambling industry and my parent company owns them so there is a potential conflict of interest.

Arguably worse than most of the replies here since it is a career choice instead of one act of indiscretion. My company was featured on John Oliver last month lol, I was saying we needed to add it to our branding, "As seen on tv!"

Various Wetherspoons in England, because I hated queuing for the girls loo, so I'd just run into the men's. Apparently they don't like when you do that.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I wonder if you're banned for violating the restroom or more because you didn't respect the integrity of the queue.

Bold of you to assume that I go to fun places to begin with.

I got banned from Tinder. Possibly because I refused to give my real email and just kept entering temp mail addresses, or possibly due to a photo I included that was taken from behind at an outdoor (public) body paint event.

I took part in getting my family kicked out of a Barnes & Noble once. My brothets and I ran around without our shirts on and were yelling. We were caught by staff and they found our parents and told us to leave. Our parents were in a business meeting and were not happy about it.

Reddit and Facebook. I tend to make enemies with Nazi’s. And those two websites are protecting them.
