Have you ever been told to leave somewhere?

[Spinneret]

Only a neighbours

 

[sheilafri]

No. But I’ve chosen to leave. Or not gone in the first place.

I have never been asked to leave, but I did get banned from a comic book store when I wasn't there. When I was a kid, my friends and I shopped at a regular comic shop, however there was adifferent shop that was closer and we could ride our bikes to it, so we sometimes went there an dbought some one-off stuff. The guy was always trying to woo us over to getting our regular lists from him though and he started trash-talking our guy's shop. Anyway, I told my usual guy, and he called this other shop and chewed him out for the trash talk and trying to steal customers. Anyway, this happened while my firends were in the store and they laughed about it. The dude sussed out that I had been the one to tell, and he told my friends that if he ever saw me in there again he'd toss me out. it ws actually more physically threatening than that - big talk about a 13 year old! Anyway, none of us ever went back and the offending shop ended up closing pretty soon after.

No, but my Dsis was asked to leave Pleasure Island.

She was there for a work trip. Had just finished a conference party at House of Blues where KC and the Sunshine Band performed. She didn't have her license with her and was carded going into PI. She didn't care. She was tired and wanted to go back to her hotel. While she was standing outside talking to colleagues, one of them came out and gave her his wristband to get in, herself.

She was barely inside when security was on her, asking for her ID. They told her that even if she brought her ID back that night, they would not let her reenter.

She was fine with it and went to sleep while everyone else partied the night away.

She always loved telling the story about the time she was kicked out of DW.

My sister and I got kicked out of Pleasure Island. I was 20 and my sister snuck me a sip of her drink on the dance floor. A security guard saw and escorted us out.

We got kicked off the island of Roatan once. We were diving there and a hurricane was coming. The people at the dive resort just said get off. If you aren't gone by tomorrow you are on your own because we are leaving. They did allow us to use the phone in the office. I got on my laptop and onto Delta's site to see if there was a plane leaving the next day, then got on the phone with Delta and managed to get our flight switched from the day it was supposed to be (which was only two days away) to the next day. The resort did provide a van to get everyone to the airport the next day but they told us it was only taking one trip, be there or be left. We got off and it turned out to be a non-event. The other dive resort on the island even went diving that afternoon. Needles to say, we never used that dive resort again. You would think they would have had some plan for evacuation in case of a hurricane instead of just saying get out. Oh, and no we did not get a refund for the night we didn't stay or for the dives we had already paid for but didn't get to use.

I got booted from a patch of grass in the Magic Kingdom, which had been set aside for reserved fireworks viewing. I didn't even know it was a reserved area; there were no ropes or any other indication that it was. I was actually just waiting for my sister to come out of a bathroom so I stood where I could see the Castle at night-we don't watch the fireworks that close up because I don't like them. This lady with a walkie-talkie came over to where several people, including me, were standing and somewhat rudely told us to leave.

Got thrown out of the bar at the Disneyland Hotel. Disney, being Disney, doesn't want to fool around with any violations of liquor laws. In California, you can't serve after 2 am, but drinks can be consumed that were purchased before then. However Disney policy was everyone had to be out by 1:30 am, all glassware washed and put away, bar cleaned and vacant, lights out, by 2 am.

Also got thrown out of a bar at another resort hotel. Our company had our Christmas party there in a banquet hall, and 4 of us after the party went to the bar to have a drink. We were the only 4 in there and it was 10 pm and while the bar was advertised as being open until 2 a.m., it appears that if there were few customers, they would close earlier, and the bartender could go home. He clearly wanted to go home.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I have never been "asked to leave" or "thrown out out" of anywhere. I do have friends who have been kicked out of places though.

I was asked to leave and told the military police had been called at my daughter's preschool. What had happened was I went with her on her birthday and we brough cupcakes. While there, I observed a few safety violations, but the one that got me was that they had an area where 3 year olds were using real hammers. It was supposed to be no more than 2 at that station, wearing eye gear, with an adult right there. There was no eye gear and no adult, not even a limit on how many kids could be at that station--- just toddlers with hammers. I talked with the teacher after class, and she denied there was anything wrong with that.

So I pulled my kid and wrote a letter to all the other parents about why, and stood outside the preschool the next session as it was letting out, giving my letter to the other parents. That did NOT go well with the preschool, lol. But I still think I was right. Her next preschool was awesome. They also had a construction unit, but parents had to attend those days for one on one supervision of their child (it was a co-op preschool with parents normally having to attend once or twice a month to keep the ratios good).

 

[barkley]

a thread.

 

[ronandannette]

In a weird way, I guess the answer is yes, although I never thought of it this way until I read @loves to dive 's post upthread.

In 2021, various Covid-related measures were in place and things changed regularly. We were spending a few days at a hot springs resort in the neighbouring province of British Columbia, when all of a sudden their provincial government closed their borders to all non-residents for non-essential travel. We got an early-morning call from the front desk apologetically telling us we needed to vacate. As we were driving home we saw RCMP-manned check-posts on the highway at the provincial boarder.

Yes

 

[diznygirl]

We were asked to give up our table at the Flying Fish. We were having dinner with friends, on our second bottle of wine and probably our second hour at the table. We had finished our dessert and since it was busy the manager offered to buy our next round upstairs at the Bellevue Room. We politely declined, apologized for losing track of time and paid our bill. We weren’t noisy or anything, it was just very busy and they needed the table.

 

[RUDisney]

Arguably the nicest man on the Disboards, @Dan Murphy, was asked to leave somewhere?!?

Please, do tell, Dan.

Ha!! Well, first, I guess a post replier (me in this case) does get notified of another poster's reaction (like, laugh, wow, love, etc.) as well as from a mention or a quote, like here, even if the OP is ignored.

In answer to your question, @RUDisney, I was asked 'to leave' my parochial high school, 60 years ago, in my senior year, for cutting class days too many times. Had to finish my high school days at the public high school. And have been asked to 'sit on the sidelines' here a few times for 10/30 days at a time over the past 24 years,

And thanks for your kind words.

 

[Disney Ron]

My now Ex told me to leave, thank god!

 

[prairie_girl]

Not me, personally, but yes, by association.

My friend was in a bar fight and was kicked out, so, we all left with him.

A few times:

1) My dad and I were on a meandering road trip when we happened to see a sign for Y-12 in Oak Ridge, TN. Being an engineer and a science nerd, he got all excited about wanting to stop and see the home of the Manhattan Project. We knew Y-12 was a military installation, but Dad's retired DoD with an ID card that gets him onto bases all over the world. So we rolled up to the gate. Dad showed his ID and said we just wanted to look around. The guard asked us to pull over. He took Dad's ID and driver's license and my driver's license and asked us to wait. About 10 minutes later, he came back and returned my license. Went away again. About 20 minutes after that, he returned Dad's documents and took a photo of him. Then instructed us to immediately turn around and leave, and told us we could visit the public visitor's center a few miles down the road in town. It was at the visitor's center that we learned that Y-12 is now the National Nuclear Stockpile!! No wonder they wouldn't just let us look around!

2) We were nearly kicked out of New Orleans a couple of weeks after Katrina. We had put everything we owned in storage a few months earlier and gone to Florida to be with family when my mom unexpectedly passed away. After the storm, we came back to bring supplies to a diabetic friend who hadn't left, and to check on our stuff. We were stopped on the way into town by two National Guardsmen who pointed locked and loaded M-16s at our heads. We calmly explained the situation, and after taking down our friend's name and address, allowed us to pass.

3) I was kicked out of the hospital where my then-boyfriend was in critical condition in a medically induced coma. His extraordinarily dysfunctional parents had spent three days loudly fighting with each other at the hospital, culminating in a literal fistfight in the parking lot. At one point, his mother decided to turn his care over to me. His father decided that meant I was trying to "steal his son" (my bf was 25 years old) and rallied the rest of the family against me. When I didn't back down to threats of being shot by my bf's brothers, the father went to the hospital administration to have me banned. It was a horrible situation, but at least it woke me up to the fact that getting involved with that family could be hazardous to my health, so I walked away.
