Pooping pigeon fly-past.

I am so cross - this afternoon a pigeon in Manchester jettisoned a great, mucky dollop of green, sticky poop onto my backpack as I wondered blissfully around Fletcher Moss Park. I can’t tell you how angry I am, and the stuff just won’t wash off. It’s all over my coat too. There’s always something happens when I come to Manchester to visit my eldest daughter, something that makes me feel quite silly. A few years ago I was wandering aimlessly and suddenly everyone around me started singing. It was bizarre and I joined in. Then I realised that there were only women present. I had got mixed up with a large lesbian choir celebrating World Women’s Day. Most were also banging drums and I couldn’t weave my way through the tightly packed crowd so I became an honorary lesbian for the day.

I'm sure you're a lovely honorary lesbian I though getting pooped on by a bird was lucky.

@paigea Maybe the pigeon poop was punishment for masquerading as a choral lesbian. Nothing lucky about it.

I really hope you’re not kidding about the choir (I never know), because the visual is magnificent. I’ve been pooped on by a conspiracy of ravens, and it was a terrible experience. It’s what I get for parking near a tree.

@ambiepam Oh the choir was for real and I felt so intimidated.

Ouch oh.... Do you know that there is a Chinese belief that if you get poop on, you will have lottery luck somehow.

Somebody always claims being pooped on by a bird is lucky... It's not lucky for the person who got pooped on, just the people around them who didn't. I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm sure you were a proud honorary lesbian, though.

I guess there could be worse things than being an honorary lesbian.

Isn't being pooped on supposed to be good luck? I'm sorry you had that experience. Have a good day.

It is lucky if a pigeon poops on you
