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!"

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.

[–] PalimpsestNavigator@midwest.social 18 points 11 hours ago

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?

[–] PalimpsestNavigator@midwest.social 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Ooooh, bummer. Good story though. At Six Flags Fiesta Texas, this ride is called “Dungeon Drop”.

[–] yeehawboy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It’s called Mr. Freeze in six flags over texas (Dallas)

I see! So they moved the Batman rides, huh? Nice

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I can't ride the Batman roller coaster anymore 😞

My torso is too long, my shoulders get pinched when lowering the restraints into position

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

[–] PalimpsestNavigator@midwest.social 10 points 11 hours ago

🫡 That’s a badge of honor, right there.

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.

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago (8 children)

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.

[–] Moonweedbaddegrasse@lemm.ee 9 points 11 hours ago

I have seen a number of girls do that tbf. You are not alone (unless each time it was actually you)

She is banned from multiple restrooms...

I need to meet some British women

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Toilet policing is a bizarre British cultural ritual I honestly doubt I'll ever understand, but it's the sort of quirk that's probably to be expected from that sort of backwards little shithole country.

Huh. I've never seen that before. Men don't mind.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 points 11 hours ago

I've taken so many girls to the gents for a wee at big events. I do like spoons though. Something about it's trashiness appeals.

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

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] Proles_Uprising_Now@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago

And they hate our Saint Luigi Mangioni

[–] Tungsten5@lemm.ee 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Dang! What were you even reading?! lol

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

A good place to sleep. I’m sorry they did you like that.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world -1 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

My fake name got written up because I entered a protected nature park. I leave nature as I find it so I considered the "Not allowed to enter" sign authoritarian bullshit. When some guy caught us we gave fake names and he said we would get in trouble if we came back.

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 🤷.

Great pictures! You’re well traveled…

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

Thank you, I have travelled a bit, though most was before I got into photography
