I mean in real life. Say, you were obnoxious at the dinner table as a kid, and your parents told you to leave the table and go to your room. Or, you were really drunk and disorderly at a party, and you were asked to leave? Or, you snuck into a bar, you were clearly underage, and you got busted and the bouncer ordered you to leave? Or maybe you walked into the bathroom of the opposite sex and were asked to leave? Or maybe (as an athlete) you committed an egregious infraction during, say, a football game, and were asked to leave the field.
I'll think of some other examples and post them here, but for now, feel free to chime in with your own real-life stories.

Yea but it was an equal opportunity dismissal. Me and my friends went to see the 3rd Hobbit movie and just as the movie began, we were all asked to leave the theater. It was at the height of that stupid North Korean thing over the INTERVIEW.

That reminds me of one of my own "get asked to leave" anecdotes. I was on a college campus; in one of the auditoriums they were showing Monty Python's Holy Grail, which I'd never seen before. I paid for my ticket, went in, watched the film, and decided I'd like to see it again. So I just stayed in my seat, thinking I could just sit there over the break and wait until the next showing started in half an hour or whatever.
Wrong! As the auditorium slowly drained of people, and I became the only body left sitting in silence in my seat, some guy quietly came down the aisle, looked at me suspiciously, then told me I had to leave. I figured out without any exchange of words with him that, yes, you had to pay to see the movie a second time. Well, I was broke, so I left. lol

I've been cut off at bars before but I've never raised a fuss about it, every time I've been kicked out of a place it was because of people I was with, so it wasn't "you need to leave", it was "you need to get your friend out of here".

Only once.
A half dozen coworkers and I were having a long lunch around Christmastime in the mid-'70s at the Smoke House in Burbank, lingering so long that the dining room emptied, except for a trio off in a corner. One of our group got the idea of inviting them to join us, and they turned out to be Eileen Brennan, her sister and nephew. They'd already had a few drinks, and we'd had a few drinks, and together we all had a few more, eventually becoming rowdy enough that the management threw the lot of us out.
Our group was sheepishly cooperative, but a defiant Eileen was by then in no mood to be discouraged or for our little party to end, and merely declared that we should all go elsewhere. Which we did. That place, we didn't get thrown out of, but with Eileen's help, we damn near lost our jobs. And by a strange quirk of fate, she later rescued us from our boss's ire.
But that's another chapter.

I definitely have. Sure doesn't mean I've complied though. I don't take requests unless someone is clearly a fan.

Once.
About 5 years ago, I was ejected from a softball game for slamming the bat down in frustration. An ejection carries a one-game suspension. We were playing a double-header that night, so I just sat, and watched the second game.
Couldn't understand why I was being ejected because I've seen FAR worse behavior (threats, profanity etc.) go unpunished. I'm thinking the ump had it in for me -- probably because I didn't accept his LinkedIn request. 
That's another story....for another time.
Yesterday, I thought I was going to get ejected from the hockey game. I bring a cowbell with me. I had a look at the prohibited items, and one of them was any noisemaker, which included air horns, whistles, bells. I thought...that's a downer. Yet, when I went inside, there was a different sign, saying noise-makers that distract from play are prohibited.
I then thought...all I can do is ask. If it is prohibited, I'll just take it back out to my car.
So, I got my ticket. I asked the ticket girl if the cowbell was OK. She said it was.
During the game, I had someone from security walk behind me. Whether it was because of the cowbell....I don't know.

To quote Tony Hancock....
I have never been sought out at parties.
Sorted out, then slung out. Yes.

I used to buy a movie ticket as a kid and then spend the day at the theater sneaking into things. Once I got busted and told to leave. Though I just bought another ticket and went back in.
Around the same time I got kicked out of a Wal-Mart because my friend was trying to steal a watch.
Me and my girlfriend at the time were dancing a little too suggestively at the club, got two warnings and then kicked out.
I was kicked out of and banned from casino in Vegas because my director got caught filming without a permit.

It was at the height of that stupid North Korean thing over the INTERVIEW. I am not quite understanding here. What has you got to seeing The Hobbit, got to do with The Interview? They thought there was gonna be an attack or something apparently. |

I just thought of another incident from my childhood. We used to live quite close to a refinery (oil facility, with refining and oil tank installations, etc.). There was a long, wooded road leading into the refinery, and a big cyclone fence and gate at the start of the road. "No Trespassing" signs were clearly posted at the gate.
Well, one day me and my brothers, in our infinite child-like wisdom, decided "phooey" on the No Trespassing signs, and decided to take a stroll down that long, wooded road into the refinery grounds. We thought it was going to be a neat adventure to go exploring an oil refinery in the middle of the day, I guess.
Well, we only got about 100 yards down the road before some gruff-looking refinery employee drove up in a company pickup truck and told us to leave, saying something like, "Can't you read? It says "No Trespassing!" We sheepishly turned around and left, probably glad that the guy didn't detain us and call the police or call our parents.
What we did seems uber stupid now, but I guess it's one of those things you do when you're a child, and think you can get away with.

They thought there was gonna be an attack or something apparently. Oh, so you had to evacuate because of a threat or something. I see. Why the heck people would even bother over a silly farce movie like The Interview is astounding. All it does is give something more promotion and exposure. I saw it and enjoyed it at the time, but I don't live in the US and don't recall any ballyhoo over it's screening. It tanked anyway at the box office. I don't know why either. As for North Korea's reaction, there are far worse memes and videos critical of the regime on the internet than what Rogen and Franco can come up with. A friend that was with me remains convinced the entire international incident was calculated by Sony because it was a shit movie (in his words but I partly agree) and would bomb hard. |

Pretty much describes what happened to a couple of buddies and I when we went exploring at the quarry. Unfortunately, we got caught.
This was the first ever time I was physically grounded by my parents. I couldn't leave the house for a week. The only time I had permission to leave the house was for school. Right after school, I rushed my butt back home.
I was also forbidden to be on the family computer (Commodore 64) for a month. THAT was devastating.

Yes. My Wifey and I have both been kicked out of restaurants for being too loud, having food fights and getting up on tables and while we don't do it anymore it was fun.
