I had this one last week.
Customer comes up with girlriend and sticks a pack of beer on the counter. I ask both of them for their ID and they give it, both of them are born late 70's/early 80's, so they're of age. Usually if I ask for ID and I see that a customer has a birthday within a week or so, I just wish them a happy birthday. The guy's birthday was fairly soon so I hand him back his ID and say, "Oh, happy birthday!"
Him: "YOU EVIL!!!!!"
Me:
Girlfriend: "She's just trying to be nice!"
Him: "Yeah, well...*grumble grumble grumble*"
Jeezum crow, I know you're not exactly young anymore but how hard is it to just smile, say thanks or even just make some sort of grunt instead of calling me evil for being nice? It's not like I screamed out your birthyear all over the front of the store!
Heheh, I did the same thing for a guy his age back in March and he was so pleased I noticed it was his birthday.

Most Jehovah's Witnesses I've met have done like you and politely told me they don't celebrate (__insert_holiday__), giving me the opportunity to politely apologize and them the opportunity to politely accept said apology. I have, however, met a few...ruder ones. There's some in every circle. This pair were the parents of a guy I was interested in in High School. I invited him to my birthday (not knowing) and got an ass reaming from his parents for having the audacity
