Although the OP seems to be in jest, it does raise an interesting point.
I am in my late 50's. When I was in my teens thru my 40's people would pinch each other on St. Patrick's Day and we would all laugh about it. Now, you face a potential lawsuit and loss of job.

What has become of us?
What will we continue to turn into?
Nobody is talking about a lawsuit, no need to be extreme about my question
I'm asking if it's rude
Seems like a subtle way to bully people into celebrating something they don't care about

Well, if you want a specific answer, I don't think it's rude.

Is there actually a single documented case of a person being fired or being sued for merely pinching someone on St. Patrick's Day? I am not referring to a man who uses the holiday as an excuse to grab a woman in a sexual way or someone who causes a legitimate injury by pinching sensitive skin as hard as possible.
I seriously doubt anyone who has pinched someone in the traditional manner of St. Patrick's Day has been fired or sued for doing so.
More importantly, this is far from a great debate.

Clearly you don't live in Portland. You would not begin to believe the lawsuits here since we were Californicated.
