Bird Shit on You is Lucky?

[AchillesTG]

I'm standing outside work having a smoke and a bird shits all over me. The guy next to me says that is lucky.
How is that lucky?

Of course, I had to google it. Being shit on by a bird is a 1 in a billion chance, about the same as winning the lottery, so some people equate that to luck or your luck should be turning.

I don't feel too damn lucky!
So, if elephants could fly and shit on you, that would be really lucky!

Very true

No BS, an old fraternity brother of mine got shit on by a bird in route from his car to his dorm room after having an awful day to begin with. He had to share it with everyone because it was one of those Murphy's Law days that you just have to share and laugh over. Two weeks later his Mom hits the Powerball.

He's a cop now. Doesn't have to be I guess, but more power to him.

When I was a wee lad I was riding my bike to the swimming pool, a bird shitted on me. I got to the pool and it was closed for repairs.

I've always heard this my whole life... never being hit, perhaps this is why I am basically an unlucky person?

I got hit once in HS, I felt embarrassed as I was standing there with a group of friends and nobody was within reach to smack me in the back of the neck......I didn't even look to what hit me, I just asked one of them "is that...?" He said "yep" and to make myself feel better, I said it's all good luck anyways. I just made it up but I guess others feel the same that it's lucky.

Can you elaborate? Where did this number come from?

The first time I heard about it being lucky I was in Venice Italy and a pigeon pooped on me flying by. I just figured they made this up because there are so many pigeons there so they want you feel special instead of mad when it happens to you. With all the pigeons they have there I think over a weekend in Venice you are a slight favorite to get bird poop on you

[Cuse0323]

gotta be better odds on that than the lottery.

[rkelly110]

Nope. Bird shit on head doesn't make you lucky. Gull shit on my head going into Atlantic city casino off the boardwalk.
Came out a loser.

I just found it on a wiki answer, sure it is a guess. With the billions of birds and people in the world, the law of large numbers should prove this to be a rather rare occurrence. Now, if you hang out under a bridge or near a bunch of statues, I am sure the odds will improve.

In my eyes i dont care if every mo fo ever in history says it's good luck. If i'm all dressed up in my best suit like my georgio armani and some freking bird flying over drops a huge plop on it it's very unlucky because now i have to turn around find someway to clean it off so it dosen't stain or go back home and change

no way is it one in a billion, happened to me as a kid.

my wife got shit on by a seagull while sitting in a car at the beach in a parking lot . driver and passenger windows were open and it was a windy day. The bird timed it so the turd blew into the car right into her hair.....she was PISSED, and I'm laughing my ( __*__ ) off at this event. I had to bring her home for a shower. Look how often cars get hit with birdshit, getting hit once in your life seems almost probable unless you live in the desert or somewhere with few trees like a huge farm or you are at sea much of the time.
