Weird TraditionsTalking with a friend yesterday about school dinners, she suddenly said, "We had to march into the dining room behind the School Band... except on Thursdays." Since all of us were now staring, she qualified this with, "...on Thursdays there was no wind section. It was a tradition."
What weird stuff have you been made to do "because it's a tradition."

My mum told me......never to cut my toenails on a Thursday. I was too WTF to obey or even find out why it was. But then, my mum's the superstitious type - she's got tons like this one and the explanations are usually stranger that the principles themselves - better to just WTF and leave well alone.
She's a big fan of the lone magpie one-for-sorrow/'morning major' thing too, which was also a firm favourite of a particularly nighmarish GF whom I was with for just too fucking long during my formative years, pretentious luvvie cnut that she was. I have amended this tradition in my adulthood in her honour by treating every lone magpie I see to a 'fuck you' finger - suprisingly satisfying :)
