    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.

    Don’t know if I was ever banned but I was definitely asked to leave a go kart track when I was about 10 or 11. It was a kids track with only a few karts to choose from but they weren’t even as far as performance went. I had picked one that turned out to be slower than one another boy chose, so he kept lapping me as we were driving around. I’ve always been very competitive so I was just getting madder and madder as this smug little shit kept passing me even though I was pedal to the metal, so I made a decision. One lap as he was just about to pass me I wrenched my steering wheel to the side and ran him off the track. I was, of course, spotted by an attendant who stopped me and brought me over to my very embarrassed parents then asked us all to leave. I don’t think the other kid was hurt, but I didn’t care enough at the time to check so he might have been.

    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 got a couple of temp bans, actually got the morons over there to reverse some because they were ridiculous, but it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.

      Fuck Reddit, it’s been a shithole ever since they decided to turn redditors into ad revenue. Nazi sympathizing corpo boot licking brown shirt friendly shithole WILL go down in flames like digg, and I’ll be standing by to watch and laugh.

      Got banned for saying that “Israelis should have Netanyahus head on a pike”

      If you ever wondered whether Israel has influence over reddit there’s that. I really dont see how this could be “advocating for violence” level of ban worthy offense.

      I’ve then tried the same message with other world leaders and no bans yet tho I’ve only tried a few so far. Maybe someone wants to donate some reddit accounts for this experiment.

        I’ll do my best to give a brief answer. Please know that I’m not your legal council, and my advice is limited to my experience (which may be different from your own).

        If you have a DUI from 10+ years ago, it is possible that your inimitability has been automatically lifted. If your DUI was more than 5+ years ago, you are eligible for a few methods of entry into Canada. You can apply for a “temporary residence permit”, which is as complicated as it sounds with forms and statements and an approval process. Another route is what Canada calls “criminal rehabilitation”, which is an evaluation process that unflags your ID and makes you indistinguishable from any other American.

        Keep in mind that the Canadian border is managed by people who want a smooth workday. Unless you give them a good reason, they’ll at least be disappointed to reject your admission. More than likely, they would have information to help you get certified to cross. That being said, if you have a strong history of DUI and show up at the border in a MAGA truck with a shitty disposition and no preparation whatsoever… they might unceremoniously tell you to have more respect for Canada (and the world, with your Republican jihad).

        Certain things may help you at the border. A license plate and residence in a northern border state might put you in an easy pass category. Preparedness goes a LONG way, even if you don’t have the latest trend in legal passes you are still dealing with human beings. Because we’re dealing with human beings, it deserves to be said that we’re in a colorized world and Canadians are just as prone to colorism when choosing who to admit. I recommend keeping this in mind if you aren’t privileged to pass in daily life, because you do still need to be extra extra ready to present yourself, my friends.

        Above all, after you get into Canada it is important to respect the road and avoid driving under the influence. Not only is this where your head should be at, but it is also the best way to ensure a continuation of the good relationship between yourself and Canada (and the United States with her closest sister, Canada). An incident in-country will result in penalties that could last a lifetime, and for good reason; you might get expelled, or you might become a resident of Canada’s legal system for a very long time. To say it plainly, if you act a fool on Canada’s roads you might see the same 10x5 patch of Canadian prison concrete for the next decade.

        Okay… that’s all I got.

        If you have a criminal record in your home country you’ll be denied entry into Canada. Even Donald Trump can’t enter Canada legally.

    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.

    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
