    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

    I was going to say Reddit, but then I realized you meant from some fun place. So no, I haven’t been banned from some place fun.

    currently working on getting banned on the rest of the reddit subs i frequen(ted).
    Does that count?

    This reminds me of an old cartoon; Old guy getting banned from the cemetary and rejoicing his new found imortality. Thought that was funny.

    I’ve been banned off of Line for the crime of doing literally nothing. I created an account before a trip to Japan so I could add Japanese people I already knew or might meet while there.

    I made the account without any significant issues, got the QR code to add a friend then got an unspecified error any time I tried to add them. I tried adding an official account with the same error. I looked it up and saw some suggestions about waiting a few days to try again so I did just that with the same results for any official account or my friends account. My brother made an account and tried to add our friend with the same results, then found that when using my QR code it said the account didn’t exist.

    After digging more into it and trying to figure out what was up with Line’s support directly all I could find was an FAQ that said if you got an unspecified error when adding someone then it means your account violated Terms of Service for sending illegal messages, harassing people, etc that type of stuff. Still have yet to figure out how exactly either of us did any of those things before we could send a single message, but I’m sure it’s a very good and logical reason which would surely also explain why Line doesn’t answer my tickets or emails. Surely.

      Happens to me with vpn. Ebay notoriously did the same thing and I have heavy suspicion it was vpn. I contacted support and they said I violated tos and they couldn’t tell me why and said a new account to evade the ban is also against TOS. So far, I haven’t had any more bans but I’ve had to make like 10 so far.

      Happens sometimes, especially if you’re on a vpn

    Asked out of the classroom by a teacher because I was talking to a classmate. I don’t know why but that teacher didn’t like me one bit. She did more stupid stuff but don’t even remember right now.

    Kicked out of Canada when I was in my early twenties.

    Picture it. 1998. Niagara Falls (the Canadian side). I was visiting western New York with my gf at the time. She was driving and we had three of her friends in the car with us.

    She was speeding so a local cop flashed his lights and pulled us over. He made her step out of the car. Then he came over, stuck his head through the driver’s side window and chastised us all:

    “You know how fast she was goin’? One of you needs to be the designated smart guy and tell her to slow down.”

    Then his eyes focused on me in the backseat.

    Cop: “Where are you from?”

    Me: “Georgia.”

    Cop: “Yeah well you just need to get back to the border and get outta here. We don’t need your kind here.”

          Yeah. Mounties like swinging their dick around as much as the next beat cop, and OP conspicuously didn’t mention how much they were speeding by, exactly. Since OP wasn’t at the wheel I don’t see how they could be ejected, though. Being an idiot’s passenger isn’t a crime.

          Exactly.

          He said to leave and I was all “Yes sir! Thank you, sir!”

          🙂

          (No, really. I was like let’s GTFO)

    When I was a teen, I had a summer job at a laboratory. They had a BLAZING FAST T-1 connection. This was a big deal, that’s what hackers in movies dreamed about having access to.

    So I took my gaming rig to workto play counterstrike one day. (it was always mostly deserted, and no one cared what the lab monkey did before noon when they all eventually showed up)

    The latency was non existent. I felt like a god. I was banned from several servers that day becythey thought I was botting due to having an order of magnitude better ping than anyone I was playing against. I got paranoid and never took my machine to work again, but it was a fun day.

        The #1 task requested of me at that lab was “can you install Napster on my computer”. The second was "I completely fucked this <visual present thing> can you fix it with the Photoshop?

        My job was basically “Linux sys admin for the one Linux box that’s important for some reason that has to do with the printers”.

    I got banned from the monkey section of the zoo because I kept tickling the feet of those little old man looking monkeys.

    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 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.
