To ask if you've ever been banned/barred from anywhere?

[puma84]

Was having a conversation with a friend this week and she's been banned from her local swimming centre for arguing with the receptionist. The receptionist didn't believe her daughters age and said that she was trying to get her in cheaper resulting in the manager banning her for life!

It made me think of the time I was banned from Santa's grotto 15 years ago 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can't go into too much detail because it's extremely outing!

Have you ever been banned from somewhere and why?

Lighthearted 😬

I got banned from participating in an 80s music pub quiz for winning it too much. Was still allowed to come along as a helper and got some free drinks so wasn’t upset.

I got kicked out of a mediums, I don't believe their shit anyway so deliberately gave nothing away, I could tell she was getting irate with my poker face and when I told her that she was totally wrong because I didn't have a son and I was very close yup my Dad she told me to leave because I was too close minded.

My local Shell petrol station. They accused me of using my mobile phone whilst filling up. Phone was actually in the bottom of my handbag in the boot. Shouted at me over the loud speaker, then shouted at me in front of the whole queue when I went in to pay. I retaliated by shouting back 'you're fucking blind you moron... should have gone to fucking specsavers' etc

That's probably outing.

I’m banned from Netmums too. I think it goes back to the days when we used to raid each other.

PPs... being banned from Netmums and Bounty are something to be proud of surely?

I was banned from toddler ballet and all subsequent ballet lessons at that sport centre. I don't like to talk about it.

I am also banned from two different countries. One is very under-developed and I thought they'd have forgotten after 20 years. Apparently not, but it gave the border guards from the country I was trying to exit such a good laugh they insisted I had dinner with them, so they could keep laughing at me

Banned from a little cafe in our local town because my dog peed on leg of an outside table

I was banned from a pub in Broadstairs for having a drunken soda siphon fight with one of DH's friends.

Banned from my favourite pub as they thought I was doing coke in the loo (I definitely wasnt). They had called round all the pubs in my town so I couldn't get in any of the other pubs as they all had my description. Ended up chatting to the police situated in their police van in the centre of town as I was so frustrated at my night being cut very short as I think it was only about 8pm, asked them to drug test me to prove I hadn't been up to anything 😂. They couldn't but thought it was funny I had been accused of it as I apparently don't look the type... whatever that means.

I got banned from a beer festival because they wouldn't let me have a refund on vouchers I had bought 15 minutes previously as I realized I shouldn't drink anymore. Apparently I had to be vomiting everywhere, and I suggested shoving a finger down my throat to the manager. Was escorted out by security lol

Not exactly banned but I was kicked out of a grotty B+B in Blackpool for daring to suggest the room stunk of fags. Apparently the shrivelled old hag had never been so insulted in her 35 years in the business and I needed professional help!

Got banned from a local night club for DTD on the stage... Thought it was secluded etc but we hadn't noticed the band setting up so when they opened the stage curtains there we were.. Not my proudest moment although at the time I do recall. I stood up and bowed as we got a resounding round of applause.

I got barred from our local pub when I was 18/19. For not letting a woman hit my mum. I stepped in and stopped her from twatting my mum, put her arm up her back and bounced her out the door.

Thing is, I worked there at the time. Landlord went outside, barred gobshite,violent woman (my mum is so quiet and confrontational she wouldn't say boo to a goose), then came back in and barred me.

'Frouby, you are barred as well, zero tolerance on fighting'.

'Erm, I didn't fight. Am working tomorrow though, 12-3, 7-close'.

'Err yeah. Well you are barred from drinking here'

'What if someone buys me a drink though?'

'Err, you are barred from buying your own drinks then'.

'Can my boyfriend buy me a drink though, if I am not working?'

'Yeah, but you are barred from buying your own drinks. For 1 week. Ok?'

'Yeah Dave, sorry Dave but she was going to twat my mam'.

'Yeah. Shes definetly barred though now'.

I walked into a pub one lunchtime and tried to order a lemonade, to be told to leave because I was barred, and when I asked why I was told “you know why”... except I’d never been in there before in my life. I’m still wondering what my doppelgänger got up to in there!

Oh I have remembered another one. Misbehaved on the sixth form French trip to Paris which included mooning off the balcony at the hotel opposite and going down to reception in the lift in just bra and knickers, waving at the people in the bar and going back up. Our school was no longer welcome on future trips.
If my two partners in crime see this I am well outed!

My friend and I were banned from the village playgroup. The lady running it basically spent all her time chatting to her mates while her four year old battered all the babies.

The four year old absolutely attacked my just crawling baby and my friend quickly lifted her off. There was then a slanging match along the lines of, “How dare you touch my child”, “Well you should be keeping an eye on her and she’s too big to be here anyway.” Although my baby was the victim, I was not actually in any way involved.

Playgroup leader phoned me that night and told me not to come back. I just laughed at her and told her to get over herself.

Also banned from a pub in Holloway as part of our big group of mostly Irish and Moroccans. I have no idea why. We took our not inconsiderable custom across the road, became regulars, were treated very well and probably doubled their turnover.

I got caught underage drinking in the USA. After a few drinks, I snuck into a political soiree. I had my photo taken by a newspaper while sitting on the candidate's knee and, knocking back free champagne. They then asked me how old I was, and all hell broke loose. The police were called, and I only managed to avoid being arrested and deported because I was leaving the country two days later and they wanted to avoid the paperwork. They told me not to bother coming back.

Fast forward 25 years and I got a job that required travel to the USA. I was quite worried that I wouldn't make it through immigration.

I got banned from a club in Soho. Thought I’d sneak my own vodka in and surprisingly got away with it. Then like a tit decided to neck in on the dance floor. Tap on the shoulders and the bouncer escorted me out.

A Spanish pharmacy for having a shot on a rocking horse and a nightclub for throwing a drink in someones face who put his hand up my skirt.

Banned from staying past 8pm at the leisure centre - which was the only place to go when we were 16 - because we were under 18. And then allowed to stay because a group of lads were keeping an eye on us, and the manager knew them as they went into the bar all the time. They were in my bloody year at school and just lied about their ages. Fuckers.

Not me but my dear old dad (god rest his soul) managed to get banned from nearly every establishment (pubs, shops and one bus driver wouldn't let him on) in our town centre . I used to joke, is there anywhere you're not banned from dad??! It was usually down to getting into arguments after having a few jars. He said it wasn't to do with being drunk and disorderly it was a 'verbal disagreement' or something similar . Never known anything like it.

Banned from the Worlds end in Finsbury Park for having a bunk up in the toilets. Went back the following week and the barman said " Didn't I bar you last week?"
I said "Yep!" and he just laughed and said he didn't know what it was about their loos but people were always at it in there.
That night I was thoughtful enough to take my beau behind the kebab shop on Balls Pond Road.

I was expelled from brownies. my ma was told it was because I was more interested in Having fun and was not interested in collecting badges. This was true.

Oh just remembered I was expelled also from nursery for telling fellow kids about facts of life (I have older siblings). It was suggested I would be happier elsewhere. It was a deeply catholic nursery used by my ma doing a phd as a but if last resort (atheist family). Not a good fit!

Gerti i too am banned from our local spiritualist church for stringing out a feeder in the que. I bleated on about my poor dead dad and how much his little peanut would like to contact him. When she picked me with a message from the other side from a man with a message for Peanut i let rip in front of 500 gullible and desperate people. I was escorted out and banned for life. They didnt see that comming...

Fyi dad is still alive and kicking and ive never had a nickname from him at least. Fucking bottom feeders
