      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.

      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.

    Asked out of the classroom by a teacher because I was talking to a classmate. I don’t know why but that teacher didn’t like me one bit. She did more stupid stuff but don’t even remember right now.

    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.

      She may be a piece of shit, but disrespecting her transness hurts all trans people by making it okay to weaponize something that is inherent to who they are.

      Like, just because Diddy is shit-trash doesn’t mean everyone can start calling him the n-word.

      That just makes you a shitty person on top of them being a shitty person.

        And that is a far better response, actually saying why it’s problematic and it’s effects rather than fuck you banned

          I’m glad it helped you understand!

          It might also help to understand that’s already a big problem that the whole LGBTQ+ community has to deal with, that people don’t understand and say/do very nasty things and then we can’t know if there was nefarious intention or just a lack of understanding/experience/knowledge. Then it gets really exhausting to try to handle every situation as if the person just doesn’t understand, responding earnestly to try to explain and then it just turns out they were intending to be a shithead in the first place. So, I wouldn’t blame whoever banned you for just not having the energy or bandwidth to try to explain at that time.

          Just try to remember and understand that people may not have the battery level to handle a situation like that perfectly every time. Especially considering that LGBTQ+ people have to constantly live very moment of their life like trying to swim up a waterfall of hate against them while everyone else only has to deal with a river or a creek with less resistance and even places to take a break and not have to fight a current at all.

          Not that it’s great to experience a person with a drained battery, but it’s definitely worse being the one with the consistently drained battery when you seldom get a chance to recharge it.

      … … Caitlyn Jenner? I know she had a hit and run scandal, and her daughters are a plague on humanity. I can’t imagine carving out space in my mind to villainize her, though.

        Pretty sure she’s said some pretty Terf-y things in some interviews but I honestly haven’t paid close enough attention so I don’t fully remember

          Dang. I learned something! Before today, I hadn’t heard the term “TERF” (and I find it immediately useful, so thank you). Also, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around how Jenner could even take that stance. Like wow…

    Some bar in Amsterdam. We were there for a Bachelor’s party/trip, it wasn’t even that late at night but two guys in our group were already drunk to the point of half falling asleep and kept dropping their drinks on the floor. The waitress warned us the second time and kicked us all out the third or fourth time it happened. When we all got outside, one of the two jerks had the nerve to ask “What happened? Did we just get kicked out? Why? Couldn’t they have at least warned us first?”

    I was banned from an arcade because I had discovered that if you placed a strong enough magnet near the coin door of most of the cabinets you could pull together the leafs of the service switch and just get free games. Was a wee kid so they just never allowed me to enter again. But boy wasn’t that the start of a hobby. Now i Reverse engineer things for fun.

    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.

        Haha, thank you. Glad i could help.

        Bonus content: I am also banned at two different swinger clubs in two different countries. And I swear I was never a guest in either one.

        First one: I am a paramedic and responded to a call to this establishment.Small, sleezy, club with not much going on. (We had a few od these in the area, I know how they usually look like) Man had “too many to drink” according to the owner and he basically just called us to get rid of him fast. Yeah, no. Guy in reality had a major stroke (subarachnoid hemorrhage to be exact) and was, well, actively dying. Not gonna tube a 120kg bodybuilder that is having seizures in a dark room. So I very nicely asked them to put on all the lights they could find. Which,well, did not fare well with the owner. He refused and did infact insult us and try to force us out. (With the patient) He shoved me. I am really not the guy you want to mess with when it comes to that. Former bouncer. Called law enforcement backup and shoved him back. Hard enough for him to fly through the room. Law enforcement arrived fast, arrested him and as then no licence holder was on site cleared the premises. (And according to them tipped off the fire marshal,the code enforcement and health control guys) He requested the name of the manager of my service. Which was kind of funny…i was the manager. So two days later he wrote a heated mail and banned my colleagues and me.

        The other one is sadly not as funny/expansive. During COVID I was regularly in the media(Disaster prevention/planning is my main business now) and after an interview with an national newspaper some owner took offence and wrote me a (actually fairly civilized) letter that I was banned for life in all his establishments. TBH, that one was FAR more difficult to explain to the wife than the first one.

    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.

      We once narrowly avoided something like that because the owner of the place had overheard that our friend who puked under the table had just got dumped by his gf. She was very chill about it, just asked us to get him home and maybe stop him one drink earlier the next time we were coming.

    I’m banned from Hollister.

    As a teen, my sister & I were trying on clothes, and we realized that it was nearly the alloted time when our mom was going to pick us up. If we were late… there would be hell to pay and we wouldn’t to be able to go out for a while. So I scrambled out of the clothes, and, in a rush to not drop any of the stuff I was trying on, I stuffed it all into a pair of pants and draped it over the hanger for clothes you don’t plan to purchase outside of the dressing room. We thanked the attendant and headed for the exit.

    Suddenly, she was following us. As we exited the store, she yelled from the entrance “You are banned from ever setting foot in here again!! I will call security if I ever see you!!!” pointing at me. I was already in a rush, so I was confused af.

    The only thing I can think I did was putting clothes in the pants…? Did she think it was a shoplifting attempt…? But I had legt it behind…? I dunno.

    Anyhow, I’ve literally never purchased anything from there before or after. I hung with goth kids. I was just there because my sister liked it. Lol Plus, it was so ridiculously dark in there, you could barely see anything anyhow. No desire to shoplift their tiny, low-quality clothes. Ever.

    It closed down years ago. I still remember that angry woman & how stunningly confused I was lol

    EDIT: oh… the title says “fun places”… oops.

    Well… to make up for wasting people’s time, I also got banned from our local county fair because my sister’s idiot friends were throwing coins at people from one of rides that went up in the air.

      Slightly related, a friend of mine got fired from being manager of a Bed, Bath & Beyond because he followed a shoplifter out through the door and confronted her on the sidewalk. Apparently that was against company policy. This is after he had worked for them for years. Moral: don’t work in retail.

        I worked at a hardware store that had hired security at the doors, to check receipts. One day, a customer was leaving when the theft detectors beeped. One of the security guards requested to see his receipt, but he ignored her. So she asked him a second time.

        That customer kept walking out. He then complained to the security company that employed the security guard, claiming harassment.

        Next day, that security guard was fired.

        Which is how I learned that airports aren’t the only places that spend a ridiculous amount of money on pure security theater. Apparently the guards had been instructed to ask for a receipt once, and accept it if the customer ignores them, even if the alarms go off. I can understand not wanting someone to follow a customer out of the store, but that is a weak-ass bluff right there.

        BONUS STORY! In that same store, someone was stealing tons of high-quality equipment. There was a guy who worked the lot, which meant that among other things, the outdoor trash bins were his responsibility. They were brought in during closing time, then back out the next morning.

        Apparently this guy used that as his cover, over the course of several months, to sneak thousands of dollars worth of product out of the store. He knew where security cameras were (and weren’t), and he knew nobody would question him dragging trash bins around. So he hid items on the bottoms of the bins, covered the top with a trash bag, and brought them outside. He’d then move them to an area where the cameras couldn’t see and retrieve the items. Eventually loss prevention noticed something was fishy and caught him, but he’d gotten away with it for quite a while until then.

    I banned myself from casinos where I live and in all neighbouring countries because the house always wins and there should be no way I can give them money. (The gambling regulators allow you to ban yourself) I’ve never been to a casino I just know I can’t be trusted.

      I had no idea you could do that! While I have only gambled twice (with about $10 each time), I’ve never felt the bug. It takes a naturally fun person to fall into gambling; my sympathies, bud. Good on you for protecting yourself (I’ve had to recuse myself from alcohol in the past).

    I got banned from Tinder. Possibly because I refused to give my real email and just kept entering temp mail addresses, or possibly due to a photo I included that was taken from behind at an outdoor (public) body paint event.
