A canadian federal politician was ejected from an airplane!
He claimed he was stressed, and therefore drunk, no word on whether or not he was offered a parachute.
But - perhaps we have all done things under stress, while drunk, or just because.
This thread is to detail in wonderful detail the amazing places from which you have been ejected, from your high school library when you were caught napping on a table to a high class restaurant where you tried to order a burned hotdog and a beer.
Have fun and please do exagerate to your heart's contnet!

We were ejected from the LA Playboy Club when my wife was underage, though it did not happen when we were out-of-state. How dare they refuse a member the opportunity to see the great Cannonball Adderley!

Elitch Gardens circa 1972. Rell and I thought for some reason it made sense to toss lit matches off the gondola thing and The Management disagreed.
After all these years I can better see their point although no actual harm was done.
And to their credit they allowed us to sneak back in. ![[Overused]](graemlins/notworthy.gif)

Erm, school actually.
There is a certain school south of London which currently has seven applicants for every available place.
I was ejected from it at the age of fourteen.
Forty years later, I wonder if they will let me into the Old Boys Society??

A group of friends and I -- about five of us, late teens/early 20s -- were once asked to leave a Burger King for rowdy behavior. It's hard to imagine lowering the tone of a Burger King but apparently we did.

I have obviously been too heavenly an anarchist, as I cannot remember having ever been ejected from anywhere! But I have been rather rudely removed from a cafe table, so I'll recount that instead ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
When I was about 20 (and looked 5 years younger) my twin brother asked me to be his escort on a trip out with the local blind society. We had a lovely day together and met back up with the others in the cafe which was booked for high tea. We joined some older members on a table to chat.
Within minutes the manager stormed up to us and started ranting about the youth of today and how rude we were sitting there and not upstairs when it was quite obvious there were blind and elderly people who needed to sit downstairs. He was really quite unnecessarily rude, we would have happily moved on a polite request.
I waited until he had finished and then calmly apologised for not having noticed there was an upstairs to the cafe. I told him I would take my blind brother to sit there instead. On cue, my brother promptly stood up, got his white stick out and reached for my arm. The manager looked mortified as we walked off.

I was ejected and blacklisted at my local Macdonalds for carrying a Morrisey "meat is Murder" poster. I had just bought it for a friend at the poster sale in the Student Union, the poster was rolled and all that could be seen was the word "meat" but apparently the manager knew it well enough to decide I was a militant veggie (I have never been vegetarian) and added my name and photo (taken without my permission) to the blacklist.
Burger King also ejected me a couple of years ago for wearing a tweed suit and bowler hat. Apparently they had a "no posh" campaign or something.
I was ejected from my local pub, shortly after the new management took over, for daring to sit drinking a pint without ordering food. The new regime lasted less than three weeks but I have never set foot in that place since.
I was ejected from Sunday School for wearing an Iron Maiden T-shirt and reading a Dennis Wheatley.

How bizarre. Pubs are watering holes first and eateries second. Evidently the management wanted to run a restaurant instead, so hopefully they fecked off and did so.

My friend and I were thrown out of Nazareth - or rather the Church of the Annunciation. Normally we dressed modestly when visiting holy places, but that particular day we just forgot, and my friend was wearing a shirt and shorts, and I had bare shoulders, having forgotten to take my shawl. We stood no chance of getting in!
The first Mr Marten and I were refused entry to a pub in (I think) Scarborough once, for wearing tee-shirts and jeans.

I was thrown out of both Apple and Google on the same day.
Apple we didn't get past reception, but at Google you can just wander in. We made it through the employee café — if we'd been spies, I'm sure some of them were discussing their top secret upcoming products

I was once refused service in a Weatherspoons in Cornwall for not having ID. I was overage, and was in there at lunchtime, ordering food and a glass of tap water, and sitting in the family area with a group of friends. I was told that without ID I wasn't allowed to eat there, and if anyone else ordered food for me they'd be refused service too.

You would think so wouldn't you. Unfortunately it is now a chain restaurant pub, no real ales, lots of wine (downright un-British!)and no drinking without eating. I walk a mile past it every night to go to a proper pub with beer brewed on the premises and the odd impromptu banjo/ukulele/concertina session. And they let the dog in as well.

I got ejected from Blackpool football ground in the early '70s. There was no crowd trouble, but a few innocent items such as toilet rolls were being thrown. I was not ejected for throwing but for catching a toilet roll, it being in my hand was evidence enough for the plain clothes policeman in the crowd.

Back in Miami, in the early 90's I was kicked out of one of my favorite bars. I had gone to the ladies room and noticed there were two sets of legs visible under the partition of the other stall. When I came back out, I made a comment to my date about what might have been happening in there, something along the lines of it being either sex or a drug deal. The bartender overheard me and hit the roof along the lines of how dare I...blah, blah, blah, and told me to get out. (It turns out it was, in fact, a drug deal, and one of the ladies involved was scoring for the bartender...)

Antwerp Cathedral - I wanted to attend Mass on the Assumption but was late because it was hard to decipher the notice board the previous day, having just arrived. they thought I was a tourist and blocked my entry so i went in by another route and the ejector spotted me. I wrote a damning MW report about the experience.

My dad's first job was at Elitch Gardens. He would have been there a few years before your incident, however, so he wasn't the one who got you.

My Aunt is still ashamed to admit that she was kicked out of a McDonald's because my cousins (her nephews) were acting too rowdy. (When you meet them today, it is hard to imagine that they were ever that loud.)
I got 86'd from a bar for being obviously drunk once. I don't remember being that belligerent, but I was apparently drawing enough attention that I got a hand on the shoulder escort out from a bouncer. Most people are a little surprised to hear that one.

I was asked to leave the working men's club that my husband belonged to. I had assumed that I was allowed to 'sign in' a couple of my girlfriends for a quiet drink one evening. Not so- only the (all male) members were allowed to sign in visitors; as a mere wife, I wasn't a proper member and therefore had no such privilege. A very polite elderly steward came out to eject us from the club.
A few years after this, equality rules forced them to allow women to become members. I didn't take up the offer.

It may not have been your fault, Og.
I have seen an argument in a bar where one person was getting belligerent. It was the other man, the one being abused, who was asked to leave. The abuser was a regular, and you don't ban regulars.
We didn't stay for a second drink.

Our whole tour group was nearly thrown out of the Church of the Holy Nativity for (gently I think) laughing at a joke our tour guide made. Apparently the birth of the son of God isn't that joyful an occasion.

That's almost a badge of honour. W H Smith refused to stock Private Eye for many years. Not because they thought it a priggish self-important little rag, but because it had referred to that newsagent and wannabe bookshop as W H Smug.
By banning the 'Eye, the 'joke' continued for at least a decade.
Well done!

I was reading through this thinking what a dull life I've led when I remembered I was actually ejected from a pub once. I was out with my parents and my three small children at the time, we stopped at a nice country pub by a river walked into the bar to order some food and were greeted by 'No children in here, outside!' so we went outside and went to the next village instead.

I was ejected from a milk float when I was about 10 years old. The milkman used to give lifts to all the boys (this was well before anyone had ideas about CRB checks, health and safety, etc.). He discovered, that although I had short hair, wore trousers, and was a tomboy, I wasn't actually a boy. So he booted me off. Which all the 'real' boys thought was hilarious, of course. ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif)

I was once ejected from Union Station - sort of - by a snarly security guard; I was drunk, below the legal drinking age, and had passed out in a waiting area.
I had attended a Christmas party at our head office in The Big City, and the kind folks there decided to feed the first year attendees mixed drinks, to see which one of us would barf first (it wasn't me!)
I managed to get to Union Station across the street from head office, and was waiting for my train back to the boonies when I passed out; after showing the guard my return ticket, he said I could stay until the train arrived, but if I fell asleep and missed it, he would remove me from the station. I fell asleep again almost immediately, then he woke me up when the train arrived, took me by the arm, and put me into a seat back home.

Oh yes, two more.
I got us kicked out of a pub in Hebden Bridge for falling asleep. We were walking the Pennine Way and I'd picked up food poisoning from the spring water at the campsite at Crowden Beck. I really didn't feel well enough to be drinking beer or anything. There had been a dead sheep further up the stream - it happened regularly. I think I was the only one who'd either cleaned my teeth using unboiled water or drunk some. (I was with teenage boys.)
The second time I managed to get the entire windsurfing fleet banned from a sailing club. I was a student home for the weekend and had ended up spending the day on the banks of a yacht club as per usual. In the bar that evening the social committee took offence at my Fox and Firkin sweatshirt. I didn't buy it, it was a present, clean when I packed because I didn't wear it much, only when I ran out of things I liked better. Across the back there was printed: "For Fox sake get me a Firkin pint."
Part way through the evening an irate gentleman started spluttering how disgusting I was, very much in my face. It took a while to work out why he was so cross, but when I registered, I took the sweatshirt off and slung it around my shoulders with just the front showing, which had the sign and design of "Fox and Firkin". But the irate gentleman came back to say, "but it's still showing!"
"Um, what's still showing?"
"Tha-at word!"
"You mean firkin?"
"Don't say it, it's disgusting."
"It's a size ..."
"It's disgusting, you shouldn't go around wearing something like that"
It went on. The windsurfer fleet got banned.
A couple of windsurfer committee members had to go to a committee meeting and appeal the decision. I got told about it, through giggles. The windsurfers were pretty much the youth division who were frowned at by the older social members who found them noisy and disruptive. I'm not sure showing up ignorance with a pile of dictionaries really helped much. But they won the appeal.

Good for him. I was in a similar situation in a German train station. My brother was the one who was passing out on the platform, and I was supposed to wake him up for the train. The police spotted us, and were, from what I could tell, dead set on sending my brother to the drunk tank rather than letting him get on the train. It became the only time in my life that I have ever run from the police, with a large man on my shoulder to boot. I pulled it off too- even managed a French Connection moment where I got to look them in the eyes as the door shut and the train left the station (I wasn't so bold as to wave).

I was thrown out of a Chinese restaurant in 1976 because one of the group I was with kept snapping his fingers to summon the waiter.
On another occasion some friends and I were asked to leave a moorland pub after suggesting that the beer was, shall we say, not up to strength. It was 9 o'clock on a Saturday night, and in what was at one time a very popular pub, there were only 4 customers apart from ourselves. In fact, I can't be sure they were all customers - some of them might have been the landlord's family, come to think of it. It was very strange that it went on for some years with no visible custom to speak of. I can't help wondering if it was a money-laundering operation. It is now semi-derelict.

I got kicked out of a toy store for having a sword fight with my then 6 year old son in the aisle.
other than that, I think I'm pretty pristine.

That's a pretty damn admirable reason to get kicked out of someplace, I have to say.
I am dimly remembering some silliness in a Baskin Robbins ice cream shop where my sis, her best friend and I were refused service-- they were flirting with the scoop boy and were so shit at it he read it as taunting.

oh hey! I forgot - I attended exactly one meeting of the local girl scouts and when my mother came to get me she was asked that I not return. Other than quibbling over dues, I'm not sure what I did or said but I was quite the little authority challenger so chances are I questioned some important part of the GS or other. I do remember raising some question about the religious language in a vow or something.

I tried to tell them we were demonstrating the use of their wares and were therefore good for sales. it didn't fly.

I was thrown out of the guides for swearing which will surprise nobody.
I was also thrown out of a club in Aberdeen. I was extremely drunk and was leaving anyway when I went to reclaim my coat and threw up voluminously all over the coat check attendant. My own damn fault. Good thing I was never particularly keen on clubbing.
I was also thrown out of the church I was brought up in for being a little bit too gay for them. I was actually tried at a Kirk Session meeting which was somewhat humiliating. I find it entertaining that I'm now a Catholic and nobody turns a hair about my sexuality.

We were thrown out of a pub during a shipmeet for having a dog with us. (They did let us sit in the beer garden, though. But it was cold, and dark.)

I was thrown out of a pub once.
My boyfriend and I were driving from Brighton to Norfolk. We needed a comfort break and were both thirsty so we stopped at a roadside hostelry, possibly around Suffolk.
We ordered drinks and he visited the little boys room. When he returned I visited the little girls room and we settled down with our drinks.
At this the barmaid started screeching at us that we were only there for the loo and chucked us out! ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
