A man was reportedly kicked off an American Airlines flight after he made a scene when a gate agent wished him, “Merry Christmas.”

According to reports, the Scrooge-like man was flying from New York’s LaGuardia Airport to Dallas, Texas, when a gate agent started wishing passengers “Merry Christmas” as they boarded the flight.

The man in question, however, was not as cheerful as the gate agent and appeared to be offended by her greeting.

“You shouldn’t say that because not everyone celebrates Christmas,” the man retorted.

“Well, what should I say then?” the gate agent asked.

“Don’t say, ‘Merry Christmas!’” the man replied.

Once he got on the flight, the man finally lost his patience when a fellow passenger wished him the same greeting. The man reportedly went on a rampage over the use of the phrase and started lecturing the flight attendants and pilots about what was appropriate to say.

When the crew couldn’t calm the man down, they were able to get him escorted off the plane while other passengers applauded and cheered. American Airlines reportedly refused to comment to the NY Post on the matter.

The other passengers should have serenaded him with Christmas Carols as the dragged his sorry ass off the plane. As for me, I would have wished the officers a Merry Christmas as they were dragging his sorry ass off the plane.

In a very very small way, I can understand his being irritated. I lost both my parents shortly after New Years (11 years apart) and when I used to work retail, all the "Merry Christmasses" and "Greetings of the holiday seasons" would irritate me after a while.

I would really want to say STFU, but of course I didn't because I realized it was my thing, not theirs...which turns the pressure cooker up a bit, too...
