Ask Lemmy

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

Nottheonion, because someone didn't like that I dead named Bruce Jenner for being a scum bag

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

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 🤷.

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.

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.

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

Nope, as far as I know, I am not banned anywhere
