Ask Lemmy

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.

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.

I'm banned from redd... oh you said fun.

I'm banned from club penguin

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.

Reddit. Because, you know, write messages...

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.

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

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

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.

Fun

casino

lol

Go karts in Corpus Christi. I like ramming little kids into the walls

One Irish Pub (popular chain here in France/Europe) in Avignon cause I puked all over the counter. Although I assume they've forgotten cause it was about 10 years ago... but I also haven't drank in about 5 years so it's not like I care, lol.

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.

Banned for life from the street runoff sewer system in a relatively small city.
