misleading title. itchy trigger finger makes it sound like it involved a gun. although it applies figuratively, generally when people refer to a 'trigger finger' it's gun related. you confused me op and i hate you

Happy Festivus
I'm waiting for the day the headlines saying 'thrown off plane' are actually about a passenger literally getting thrown out of a plane
I'm sick, I know
[QUOTE=davidrb18;46797959]or perhaps he's wondering why you'd wish someone a merry christmas before escorting him out of a plane[/QUOTE]
it would be extremely cheerful
he's a jolly guy for yule
I really do not understand why that guy decided that "Flight attendent saying 'Merry Christmas' during boarding" was the hill that he absolutely, positively had to fight and die on.
[QUOTE]The crew tried to calm the unidentified man, but he refused to back down and continued hectoring them.
He was escorted off the plane as other fliers burst into cheers and applause.[/QUOTE]
This reads like a Tumblr humblebrag story. Did the flight attendant also give the man a run-on lecture about his misogynistic ways that left him speechless?

sounds more like the sequel to God's Not Dead. Atheists on a Plane. Featuring Kirk Cameron.
What bothers me about this, 'don't say christmas', thing the most is that it strikes me as selfish on the receivers part for taking offense. The idea behind wishing someone a merry christmas is just extending to someone a greeting/parting and wishing them to have a good day, it's just a friendly thing to say to welcome other people. The intent behind it is purely amicable. If you don't celebrate it, that's fine but that person is still just hoping you'll have a nice day.
If someone said Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/any other holiday, I will say the same thing. If you get offended, get tougher skin and get over it, it basically means have a good day during the holidays.
Who the fuck would be offended by another cultures traditions, if some wished me a happy hanukkah or happy ramadan or w/e I would just say "you too" like a normal human being instead of freak out "omg i dont celebrate it this is cultural appropriation rape i am so triggered"

Shit don't let him hear you, you just said Christ
A friend of mine works at a movie theater and said "Happy Holidays" to a guy, and his response was "Oh, you're one of [i]those[/i] people" and gave him a nasty look.
Haha, he was kinda at a loss for words after that.
During the festive periods at work during the past few years, most of the customers say "Happy holidays!" to me as they leave after either browsing or purchasing goods. Assuming they are unsure of what I celebrate, I reply "Happy Yuletide!" and nine times out of ten, people just give me the most confusing looks.
Not only that, I was even lectured about "THE BIRTH OF JEEBUS IS WHY WE SHOULD CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS etc." from an elderly couple who don't respect my beliefs just because I don't say "Happy Christmas" :v: Live and let live I always say.
For a second, I thought the guy was shooting people in the plane (itchy trigger finger) and got thrown off while the plane was in the air
