Family codes and rituals
Freddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

Cinema
when seeing a film, my dad always remained in his seat (or at the very least inside the theatre) until the film was actually over, lights properly up, etc. after all, you've just spent a stupid amount of money to see it, you might as well see everything. occasionally this has its benefits, as with animated cartoons where the producers stick extra bits in with the credits.
must be catching because i do this too. good test of a girlfriend's character too, seeing how she reacts to this bizarre habit.

I do this
I like watching the other people leave.
Mainly so I can follow them home and shit in their bins.

My Parents did that to see where the locations they used were. I always wondered why.

I did this with friends after watching Wayne's World 2.
It ended up with just us and a group of bigger boys in the cinema, who came over and beat the shit out of us.
