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."

Manchester - BlackpoolWhen I was a kid we used to go to my grandparents in Blackpool every other weekend. On the journey, just as you're leaving Manchester, on the motorway there are two tunnel/bridges that you drive under. It became tradition, to do a cheer/wahey type of thing the whole time we were under the tunnel. The exact same on the way back too. I must have been well impressed with tunnels and lights when I was a kid.
Even to this day I still HAVE to do it every time I go to Blackpool. No matter who is in the car, whether I'm driving or not, it's like my entire body is just screaming to do it.
Other tunnels and bridges, they're just crap.
