WHAT DID YOU DO, YOU STINKER?
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?
Ooooh, bummer. Good story though. At Six Flags Fiesta Texas, this ride is called “Dungeon Drop”.
It’s called Mr. Freeze in six flags over texas (Dallas)
I see! So they moved the Batman rides, huh? Nice
I can’t ride the Batman roller coaster anymore 😞
My torso is too long, my shoulders get pinched when lowering the restraints into position
Oh noooo lol
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.
He knew the throttle wire trick
I don’t know why so find your story so damn funny
👏👏😂
🚑🫂👈 the other kid’s parents lol
Not my proudest moment, but definitely funny.
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.
Lmfao. My house is next to a nature preserve, and I can’t say I haven’t thought about walking into the woods to take some better pictures.
It’s good that you are like that, but those limits exist because some people aren’t.
Then get me a responsible human license.
Got banned from Reddit for criticizing the current White House administration.
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.
Anyone who manages to maintain a Reddit account for more than a year needs to wake tf up. The social contract is burning down.
I’m trying to get banned, but only some subs so far
For sure. I gotta say, my blood pressure has dropped since I switched to Lemmy.
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.
Good news, in case you’re feeling nostalgic, you can relive the experience right here on select lemmy servers.
I was PERMANENTLY banned BTW. …and here comes Lemme. Lol
Bold of you to assume that I go to fun places to begin with.
Canada, because I got a DUI in the USA 21 years ago. Yes I was a stupid kid and no I don’t do that anymore. But damn.
You’re banned from the entire coutry, or just can’t drive there?
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.
Ah, I didn’t know that! What if it’s for a crime that’s not a crime in Canada?
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’m banned from club penguin
Cobblepot’s Lair?
deleted by creator
my mum told me, at my baptism, I put the candle under the pop’s cloth. he definitely took fire, and i like to believe i was banned from church 😎
Nope
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!”
Pretty much never off tv from what I can tell. I don’t live in the states so don’t have any exposure, but pretty sure my weak joke doesn’t make much sense.
Can’t say too much about the episode but think it could have been more harsh. I don’t work for the crown company, that seemed completely trashy and of questionable legality.
Have you ever thought about sneaking in with a disguise for “one last, big score”?
Managing data pipelines doesn’t exactly give me the skinny on how to beat the house.
No, but it does mean that you should have the ability to learn how to count cards. Unfortunately you need several people that know how to count cards to pull off a blackjack scheme.
suuuuure…
(psst!! hey! shh… so we could all wear costumes, and I’ll pretend to be your gay husband but I’m actually the grease man)
You son of a bitch - I’m in!
grabs a glob o’ grease
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 have seen a number of girls do that tbf. You are not alone (unless each time it was actually you)
Was it in various Wetherspoons? If so, could have been me.
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.
Huh. I’ve never seen that before. Men don’t mind.
Bouncers apparently do
Can you IMAGINE some dude banging on a restroom stall? Lol
“YOU GET TF OUT OF THERE, MISSY!!”
I wonder if you’re banned for violating the restroom or more because you didn’t respect the integrity of the queue.
There was no queue for the men’s. I respect queues, which is why I used the men’s - I didn’t want to have to join it.
I dunno, we might have to get a ruling on that. Surely there’s someone in a powdered wig somewhere who can give us the official stance.
As an American, I reserve the right to drop a deuce in my pants if the queue takes too long…
You must be fun at Disney.
The swings are my jam lol
She is banned from multiple restrooms…
I need to meet some British women
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.
“Toilet policing” sounds like someone’s arresting a dump
Mister Hankey has entered the chat.
“Well Hiiiiiiii-di-hoooo…”
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
Oh dang lol
not a fun night, it seems.
I’m banned from redd… oh you said fun.
I think half this place is banned from there
The other half is robots.
Or at least the other way around. Reddit is banned from me.
Reddit bans itself from my VPN, so I guess we had a mutual break-up.
👏👏👏😂
what’s yet crime? using 1 of a moderator’s 11 million Manchurian Candidate phrases? or having an account older than 2 years?
