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."

Whenever my brother and I hear someone say 'it's alive',for whatever reason, we lock eyes with each other and say "it's alive... it's ALIVE... IT'S ALLLLIIIIIIIIIVE!", rising in volume and urgency, like in the Frankenstein film.
Then we both stop and bask in the knowledge of a job well done.
Also, whenever my mum and I see a Norbert Dentressangle lorry, we both point to it and say "yay, Norbert Dentressangle!" We also try to guess what's inside any unmarked or ambiguously-labelled lorries.
EDIT: Speaking of lorries, someone's post re: Eddie Stobart lorries reminded me of another one. Whenever I see a Stobart lorry, I feel compelled to check whether the driver's wearing his tie. If he isn't, I tell everyone present how shocking this insubordinate man is.
