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.

I have heard the good luck adage too about getting pooped on by a bird.

Wonder if that’s really true.

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.

I’d rather have no luck than bad luck.

I hate when that happens. I hope all the poo came out. It's always a worry that it will stain.

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

I didn’t know that a birds poop can bring good luck to a person. I will remember that just in case it will happen to me. I have to buy a lottery then.

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

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