I got kicked out of McDonalds once when I was in high school for throwing a strawberry milkshake at an off duty police officer who was working night security there. Funny thing, is I ended up hired by that Department a few years later, and almost 20 yrs later, I'm still there. The officer in question retired a few years ago, and up until the day he left, denied he remembered anything about getting 10 ringed with a milkshake at McDonalds.

Too many to list them all.....

A TON of of those places you pay a few bucks to race go-karts.....a matter fact, about every one within a 60 mile radius. There's one in Columbus (malibu grand prix) where ONE car goes at a time, racing against a clock, NOT other cars.....since these are relatively quick for what they are, and have no rub rails. My friend got the green on our last round, and I decided I wanted to go too. I ran him down about 1/2 way through the course, he got sideways and I t-boned him wide open. All I saw was rubber and fiberglass flying through the air!!!! He suffered a flat tire, bent wheel, and a broken rear axle. I pushed mine backwards and finished the lap. The front end was bouncing like a basketball the whole way back.....I am sure there was some frame and suspension damaged involved. We got the hell out of dodge right quick lol

I also got thrown out of a real local race track last time I raced 2 years ago. Same story as above, only with 3200# stock cars, and it was after the checkered flag.

Also been tossed from:
Restaurants
Haunted houses
and many others I forget

Myself and a bunch of my friends got kicked out of a Charlie Peppers restaurant. It was somebody's birthday, and several somebodies decided that throwing napkins into the light fixture would be pretty cool. The napkins started smoking, and a busboy came in while I was standing on a table trying to get them out. The manager got called, and there was some shoving and bad words, and then I heard something about the police, so I left with a quickness. Apparently nobody remembered, cause I was back there a couple years later and nothing was said.

I've gotten ejected from just about every paintball tournament I'd ever played in for fighting. I hate cheaters. Bah.

At a Perkins restaurant I was playing with the light above our table, swinging it around. the waitress came and I tried to stop her from leaning over and catch the light at the same time so she didn't get hit, but she took a shot to the temple anyway. I think she understood that it was an accident, but the manager pitched a fit and threw me and my friends out.

That's about it, I guess. Thrown out of a couple bars for various things, but I can't remember anything specific or noteworthy about the experiences.

BTW, I was banned from a paintball spot, again in Colorado Springs, for aiming for the face.

Last time I played paintball, face shots were encouraged. Of course, we weren't allowed to play without proper protective masks on, so face shots wouldn't actually hurt anyone. Back-of-the-head shots, however... nasty things, those.

The worst rule I've seen in my experience is "headshots don't count," so you guys in CO must be a little stricter than us here in Ontario.

When I was playing on a team, I'd go referee for a field that we picked up a sponsorship from; and headshots counted and faceprotection was a must. People that wouldn't keep it on were my big pet peeve, and I threw many a person out for taking their mask off during a game. I told people that if they needed it off to call one of the referees over so that we'd know what was going on.

In all the tournaments we ever played in any shot was legal, as long as you weren't overshooting, but that was mostly up to the referee. I recall shooting some kid in the throat and chin once when he tried to come over the top of my bunker. It was reflex, I just saw a shape over top of me and shot at it. We ended up winning the game. :)
