It's the same reason you get pinched on any other day.
People can't keep their hands to themselves. Please don't blame the Irish for that. We've got enough problems of our own.
Happy St. Paddy's Day

I frequently do not placed on eco-friendly on St Patrick's Day, even if it has no longer something to do with luring in a gang of leprechauns. i'm frequently at artwork and that i opt to be a damp blanket even as it includes feeble or classic tries at place of work thrilling. If I ensue to experience festive, then i'd wreck down and placed on something eco-friendly, even if it should be olive or moss eco-friendly. the front to my place of work progression has eco-friendly carpet that looks suspiciously like Kermit the Frog's pelt. i think that replaced into put in as some form of a caution. i'd be more advantageous in all probability to flow all out for St. Patrick's Day if it were themed round guacamole somewhat of shamrocks. yet i doesn't opt to attempt a guacamole shake at McDonald's.

Holy crap Shalei! Calm down. It's just harmless fun; nobody's trying to hurt anyone. Basically, it's just an excuse to have some fun and play around. I am totally sick of the PC types trying to suck the fun out of everything. Relax, live a little. And you know what, if someone pinches your daughter and she doesn't like it, maybe next year she'll wear green and get to have some fun going around pinching others who forgot to wear green. It's called culture, specifically, American culture. Learn it, live it, love it.

i think it may have something to do with pride - if you're not wearing green youmay not be proud of yoru irish heritage - or may not have any to speak of - so it's a way to poke some fun at others..

Its just an excuse to be mean to whoever you choose to be mean too. Don't go around pinching anybody; it shows bad character. DON'T let anybody pinch you. If any child would pinch my daughter in school and inflict pain on her, I will report that as assault! Now days a lot of adults and kids don't know what the word Respect means. I think they don't know that word even exists.
