This is why I just stay home on Saint Patrick's day. Green is my favorite color and I pretty much never wear it, but if some random person pinches me I am very likely to react by punching them.
I hate being touched by people I don't know. Holiday be damned.
I keep my Grinch ass home.

Same here. I've done this a few times, the strangest was when punched a clown. A little backstory, the clown was on a Halloween, but it was a lot like the meme where the kid punched someone jumping out of a trash can. Except I screamed, I hate clowns.
Some people get way too comfortable because they only ever run into people whos default reaction is "flight" because they forget that there is another reaction type that some of us have called "fight".
My little brothers learned really fast that jumpscare "pranks" on me were a bad idea because when someone jumps out at me I tend to react by striking. Probably because I had an older brother growing up that "jumped" me all the time going up so I got used to doing things that way.
Always remember to check your victim's socks too before pinching. Easy to get accused of sexual harassment.
