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."

Waving at planeswhen i was at primary school, whenever a plane flew over the playground at breaktime, everyone had to stop and look up and wave at the plane flying overhead. no-one swaid a word, just looked up, waved, and then carried on playing
also when you see a magpie you have to say
"hello mr magpie, hows your wife and family? touch green never seen" then have to touch something green really quick..
also an older family member once told me when they were very drunk to never walk on the cracks in the pavement or i would have a black baby and my dad wouldn't be happy... never looked at my relative in the same way since. I was only 12 at the time..
