    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 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’ve been banned from Ravelry for many years and I have no idea why. They used to not message people when they got moderated, so I haven’t got a clue 🤷.

    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

        my profile very clearly said “trans woman” as my gender.

        and yes, trans people have to be very careful with dating apps. so do all woman for that matter. but that shouldn’t mean we aren’t allowed to use them.

    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.

        Haha, thank you. Glad i could help.

        Bonus content: I am also banned at two different swinger clubs in two different countries. And I swear I was never a guest in either one.

        First one: I am a paramedic and responded to a call to this establishment.Small, sleezy, club with not much going on. (We had a few od these in the area, I know how they usually look like) Man had “too many to drink” according to the owner and he basically just called us to get rid of him fast. Yeah, no. Guy in reality had a major stroke (subarachnoid hemorrhage to be exact) and was, well, actively dying. Not gonna tube a 120kg bodybuilder that is having seizures in a dark room. So I very nicely asked them to put on all the lights they could find. Which,well, did not fare well with the owner. He refused and did infact insult us and try to force us out. (With the patient) He shoved me. I am really not the guy you want to mess with when it comes to that. Former bouncer. Called law enforcement backup and shoved him back. Hard enough for him to fly through the room. Law enforcement arrived fast, arrested him and as then no licence holder was on site cleared the premises. (And according to them tipped off the fire marshal,the code enforcement and health control guys) He requested the name of the manager of my service. Which was kind of funny…i was the manager. So two days later he wrote a heated mail and banned my colleagues and me.

        The other one is sadly not as funny/expansive. During COVID I was regularly in the media(Disaster prevention/planning is my main business now) and after an interview with an national newspaper some owner took offence and wrote me a (actually fairly civilized) letter that I was banned for life in all his establishments. TBH, that one was FAR more difficult to explain to the wife than the first one.

    I got banned from a bar once, because I refused to give them my water bottle. Which I entered with it empty. Which I filled up in front of staff

    I wasn’t even there to drink, they just have a nice arcade section I used to regular
