Have you ever been barred from a place before?

I'm barred from O'Neills Irish Bar in Liverpool, cos I complained about the way a Barmaid poured a pint of Guinness. She poured it straight and I asked her to do it properly, she had me escorted off the premises.

It hasn't changed!

I was never barred from any place, but I wasn't allowed into a pub in Canada when I showed my passport for ID because I was quote 'Eurotrash'.

The bouncer was a native with a pretty big chip on his shoulder. I'm still waiting for Justin Trudeau to personally apologise..

Sorry for the intrusion but can I ask why?

Who the heck knows!

They didn't have to give a reason, and if you questioned them they'd call the cops.
("There's a soldier here causing problems Guard") and that's you in trouble!

One shopkeeper said that my uniform 'upset her other customers!':D

Strange. Never realised that.

Not barred, but my friend's uncle in Bel air keeps throwing me out of the house.

Aaaah!

Wales, but I'm allowed back in now. The USA, I think that one still stands.

Many moons ago I was barred from my local pub by the new owners wife when she found out I was in the (Irish) Army!
Came home from the Lebanon to find I was barred from the pub I had frequented for years, for no real reason other than being a soldier.
This was in Offaly btw.
I was already barred from two grocer shops in the same village for the same reason.
Had to suck it up, because that practice was widespread at one time.

Irrationally (cos I don't know you or the town) - that makes me quite cross. What a bunch of .....

Many moons ago at the Woolworths in Birkenhead, me and my mates when we were about 8-10 years old used to compete to see who could rob the most sweets or little cars or even VHS tapes or whatever fit in your pockets, until a load of us got caught and got told never to return. It's closed down now and I still feel responsible.

Honestly, Fryup; They were bloody identical! After the bollocking from the manager, I spent the rest of that miserable shift going round the place like a pin ball. One minute, There she was! Smiling at me. But, it was Her! I'd dash off, and there she was again, glaring at me like I had two swearing heads! Off I'd dash again.

Tell ye what? I swear I could pick that face out a line up, today. Thirty years later. Either of them.

Cool story bro

Holland Germany and my old place of work. When I say barred I mean ran while under charge and awaiting court for drunk driving and disorderly offences. More than 15 years ago so not sure of the legalities of visiting again, which I'd love to do.
The work place thing was a paranoid old man who thought I'd seek retribution once he fired me. Never would have contemplated such a thing but I was delighted he thought that.
