context: Even so, these factual allegations do not plausibly give rise to a scenario in which MetLife's conduct was extreme and outrageous. Courts have found that defendants can act unreasonably without acting in an extreme and outrageous manner.

citation_b.parenthetical: finding that while American Airlines may have "bizarrely" and possibly improperly barred plaintiffs from boarding a plane for which they had tickets and allowing a breach of contract claim to go forward, plaintiffs' claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress claim should be dismissed because the airlines' behavior did not exceed all possible bounds of decency
citation_b.sentence: Cf. Karkomi v. Am. Airlines, 717 F.Supp. 1340, 1345 (N.D.Ill.1989) (finding that while American Airlines may have “bizarrely” and possibly improperly barred plaintiffs from boarding a plane for which they had tickets and allowing a breach of contract claim to go forward, plaintiffs’ claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress claim should be dismissed because the airlines’ behavior did not exceed all possible bounds of decency). Therefore, MetLife’s motion to dismiss Linda’s claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress pursuant to RULE 12(b)(6) is GRANTED.
