Banned!

#61
Lol, I've been banned from plenty of places:

Banned from a local restaurant for getting the owners son high on marijuana several times. Banned from a pool hall because some kids drew pentagrams on the ceiling with the pool cues and I got blamed because "I'm the only one in town that would draw something that satanic!"

Kicked out of many McDonalds for many stupid things, kicked out of the mall food court several times for bad behavior and once for throwing a stack of 4 trays in the trash.

Kicked out of several stores for swearing and discussing condoms with friends.

Banned from many, many chatrooms.

Banned from a church for yelling/swearing at some guy who was macking up on the girl I was seeing. Almost kicked off of a worship team for saying "This song is ****ing awsome".

Some friends and I got kicked out of the local driving range one night. We were at the extreme end of the range, and my friend has a horrendous slice (a la Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack), along with a very high-arcing shot. There was a house on the other side of the boundary netting along the edge of the range, so my friend would launch these bombs that would hook over the net and hit the house, much to our very audible delight. We were asked not to come back again.

My first band was banned twice from the college we attended.

The first time was for failing to follow the guidelines when posting flyers on campus. The university approves flyers by stamping the original and signing/dating it. Apparently, photocopying this signature and stamp and super-imposing it on your band's flyer in an attempt to circumvent the process is viewed as "forgery" by the university. After explaining that an over-zealous fan must be the culprit (we put up about 100 all over the campus), the show and all future shows were cancelled.

After they forgot about the first incident, we were invited back. While on stage and ready to go, the Shriff's Department showed up because of a complaint (that had nothing to do with us). In order to get a proper handle on the situation, the deputies instructed us to get off stage and go home. We began to play anyway. After the ensuing disturbance, we were threatened with arrest for "inciting a riot". The university banned us again.

That band's last performance was at the university, again. If we had not been breaking up, we would not have been asked back (too much alcohol this time).

All good times.

We weren't banned, but my friends and I were asked to leave a high school football game because we took some empty tampon boxes and filled them with potato chips, and grossed out the other attendees. I thought it was a funny thing for a 10th grader to dream up (please, hold your applause!). My dad heard about it, looked at me, shook his head and walked away. Later, my mom told me that he was laughing afterwards.

I got banned from the Eden Electronics forum. I posted too many positive reviews of Genz Benz products.

I've since been re-instated, but I don't go there any more. No hard feelings against Lane and the guys over there, I just lost my momentum of reading/posting there and never got it back after my ban was lifted.

Got kicked out of jack in the box for yet another "straw incident." As we were leaving a friend took a large bag with about 500 straws in it. The male manager was outside at the time making out with his boyfriend and saw us leaving with the straws. After getting yelled at by the most flamingly homosexual guy ever with way more mascara on than anyone should be allowed to wear, we were informed that we were not allowed back at that resteraunt again. I wouldn't have gone back anyway after seeing what the manager was doing while on the job.

I got banned from a topless bar in Lomita, CA for trying to run over the bouncer with a Volkswagen camper-bus. The funny thing was.....the ban was only for a designated time of 2 months. :D

I got banned from a head-shop in Medford, OR for having a girl with no ID with me. The owner yelled out the door at me "You're the kind that gives long-hairs a bad name!". :D

Ahahahaha!

My friend got banned from a Japanese Hitachi Restaurant. ( Pretty nice one ). He decided to wait outside the bathroom ( The one where you open a door, then there are 2 more doors for women and men ) for me to walk out after using the bathroom and wanted to punch me in the stomache.. Well an old lady that just had breast cancer walked out first.. And he punched her instead.. Funniest day of my life.. She was dragging him around the restaurant calling him all kind of names.. "Devil boy" was one of em.. I felt kinda bad for the lady.

My friends and I have this thing with a karaoke bar in a city called Tampere. We only go there once a year, during a culture festival. Every time we get there, they say: "You´ll keep your clothes on this time, right?". Well, after we all have had our turn to sing, we take our clothes off and they throw us out saying:"That´s it, you´re banned!". We ask:"We can come again next year, right?" and they say "Oh yeah, sure!".

This has been going on for six years now, I think.

I am so proud of some of you. :rollno:

I mean we have some people do the straw incident, the chip incident etc. Funny, childish, but clever, I've been there.

Then we have people breaking personal property(golf balls etc) which cost alot. For a new home owner who is young etc I know what a new window costs in the midwest and they some can cost as much as I make in a pay period. People punching old women who have cancer?? Sad really and down right pathetic. I guess you can see who the people are that might contribute and not contribute to society by the pranks they have pulled.

To me some of these are pranks and are funny.....some of these are mean,malicious, and inexcusable.

Got kicked out of a comedy club in Manhattan. Well, we snuck in to begin with, but we started heckling the guy on stage (he was beyond terrible). Then when we got asked to leave we decided to run and grab the pictures off the wall and we left them outside on the sidewalk. Yeah, we weren't in our right state of mind, but it was funny nonetheless.

If we're talking about forums, I've been banned from several.

1. On ClubSi, I went from being a moderator with 34,000 posts to asking to have my account deleted because of disagreements with the way the board was being run, and feeling like my hands were tied since I wasn't friends with the admins.

2. On TeamSlow forums, I went from being one of the founding members to being sort of banned, after I left due to personality conflicts with most of the newer members of the board.

3. I was threatened with being banned here after an off-color remark.

All this pales in comparison to me banning everyone on ClubSi that posts from anywhere within 75 miles Knox County, Tennessee; since local people would come on the board and start fights with each other.
