Weird Traditions
Talking 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."

standard ones: right shoe first time, saluting magpies
not so standard i think: 2 decades ago me and my firends in primary school started one, every 1st of the month you chant 'Pinch Punch, Can't get me back till the start of next month' as you pinch and punch your victim (lightly!). They then have to try and catch you out a month later, and the cycle continues...
It now survives in adulthood oddly enough as seeing who can be the first to text/mail it to the other... running still between both me and the girlfriend, and with my brother. And I still take an inordinate amount of pleasure out of winning it...
length/girth/etc jokes are now a tragic tradition. please let it die.
