No, if you break a mirror you will have 7 years of bad luck. If you pinch a girl, you will get your face slapped. If you pinch a guy, you will get your nose broken.

Why do people get pinched on Saint Patrick's Day if they do not wear green?
It's thought that the pinching started in the early 1700s, about the time that awareness of St. Patrick's as a holiday came to the fore, too, in Boston, in the Massachusetts colony. They thought if you wore green, it made you invisible to the Leprechauns, which was good because they would pinch anyone they could see. So the pinching is to warn and remind you about the Leprechauns.Pinching those not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day is an American tradition, having really nothing to do with Ireland or St. Patrick Wrong.

Why do people get pinched on Saint Patricks Day if they do not wear green?
legend says wearing green makes one "invisible" to leprechauns, and apparently, these magical tricksters will pinch anyone who isn't wearing green in honor of the holiday. Nowadays, people simply pinch each other on St. Patrick's Day more as a cute reminder that they are still visible, and are potentially in danger of even more pinches.
In order not to get pinched does the green you are wearing have to be visible or not?
If you are wearing a very minimal amount of green, such as part of a sock, necklace, earring, bracelet, etc, it does not count, and you will rightfully get pinched. However, if you wear a completely green shirt, necklace, bracelet, earring, etc, and it's just hidden (not on purpose, mind you), then if someone pinches you, you are permitted to pinch them back.
