I was walking from my house to the train today and while walking I was using the Maps app on my phone to figure out how to get to a park I was going to with my mom.
I passed under a little tree and next thing I knew felt something fall on my arm. I looked to my right and noticed lots of poop on the right sleeve of my black shirt.
Thankfully, I had a napkin in my bag and I used it to remove the poop from the sleeve. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to remove everything. There was a bit of white still on the sleeve. I had to walk around like that for a while.
It was only after I got to the park and my mom and I spent some time there and then got to a restaurant for dinner that I was able to go to the bathroom and wash off the remainder of the poop.
I thought I would be able to do that at the park, but there was no bathroom there. We did manage to find a water fountain, but when my mom pressed the knob, the water that came out was green. I decided I wasn’t gonna use that to clean my shirt. At least I was able to do it in the bathroom at the restaurant. I wouldn’t wanna sit there eating my food with poop on my sleeve.
I didn’t like getting pooped on but my mom said it’s for good luck. Maybe I should’ve gotten myself a scratch lottery ticket. I don’t think I would have won anything, but perhaps I should’ve tried.

You never know. Luck comes and goes. Hopefully you'll get some again.

Glad it wasn’t on my head. Would have been harder to find it and deal with it.

I am noticing my one care has been thoroughly decorated with poop. You would think the rain would wash it off.

Sorry about the poop. It is supposed to be good luck. My husband got pooped on by a bald eagle on the west coast.

I remember many years ago when I was in college I was waiting for the ferry inside the terminal and a pigeon pooped on my head. I was lucky I was going home rather than to class.

Lucky you!
I know in my case, if I didn’t have bad luck I’d have no luck at all.

Seems like the white stuff came off. I will check again.

But it doesn't sound like good luck to me.
Sounds like the opposite

Just now
That does not sound like fun. I have heard about the old wives tale of a bird pooping on you being good luck.
