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."

I'M PLAYING THE GAMEEvery time you remember you're playing the game, you lose and must admit to all present that you're playing the game.
If you see a yellow car you may punch someone in the arm, and say 'yellow car.'
If you see an Eddie Stobart lorry you have to say 'Eddy Stobart' before anyone else. Hadn't heard of Norman Dentresangle before today, but apparently the two companies are quite hostile with one another.
If I say 'what noise does a [insert animal] make?' the g/f must make the noise. However, she will never be tricked into making a cow moo noise, she will always meow instead. Odd.
Christmas - one present before church, the rest afterwards. Now that we don't go to church, because no-one cares that grannie is religios any more, we can open them all at once, but not before everyone else is sat down with a cup of tea.
I'm playing the game.
If you burp while eating - 'Pardon me for being so rude, it was not me it was my food.' Additionally if you can be arsed 'it just popped up to say hello, and now its gone back down below.'
If you see someone in a vest, say they have a 'vested interest.'
If you see someone with a mullet, shout 'mullet' at them.
End all phonecalls with certain mates by shouting 'playing the game' then hanging up.
Say the lords prayer every day in school assembly unless you were the muslim kid, in which case sit outside the hall every day while everyone else in the school says a prayer.
