Even though they booted him you can guarantee a management bulletin went out instructing employees to stop saying Merry Christmas or anything else on the PC hotlist. That’s how every major company I’ve worked for would handle it.

Hope he had a miserable Christmas, since he didn’t want a Merry One.

When I left Costco, I wished Merry Christmas to the guy standing at the exist checking receipts and carts of purchases.. His response: ‘No Problem’.

Apparently the other passengers applauded and cheered when the asshat was removed from the flight.

“Don’t say, ‘Merry Christmas!’“

If I heard that, the entire flight would've been a nightmare for this Clymer. How long does it take to greet every single person on an airplane with a hearty 'Merry Christmas'? I'm guessing hours.

Sad that you can’t say Merry Christmas without someone going off the deep end. Liberals are not only godless, they’re insane.

I would have tried to get every passenger on the flight to sing Christmas carols that were only about Christ. That would be like alcohol on an open wound to a loser like that.

Think it said his flight was to Dallas. I suppose he could have rented a car (and maybe gotten the same Merry Christmas greeting). Only about 1,558 miles from LGA to Dallas, about 23 hours.

“What a loser”
In all fairness, the company probably forbade him from using the dreaded “MC” phrase.

What happens if you say “Merry Christmas” to a vampire?
