Yesterday, a 39-year-old man dressed like a disaffected 15-year-old mall-rat was ejected from a plane by an airline attendant on a massive power trip.

According to the Associated Press, the 39-year-old — Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day — was approached by a Southwest flight attendant as the plane was getting ready to depart from Oakland to Burbank and asked him to hike his pants higher:

When Armstrong insisted he was just trying to get to his seat, he and a traveling companion were taken off the plane.”

Armstrong took to his Twitter account to complain: “Just got kicked off a southwest flight because my pants sagged too low! What the fuck? No joke!”

A Southwest spokesman released a statement saying Armstrong was allowed onto the next flight to Burbank and had told a customer relations agent who contacted him he had no further complaints.
