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."

Superstitious TraditionsSeeing as we're branching off into superstitions I'll tell you about a mental woman I work with.
Firstly, if she sees anybody who's opened a packet of crisps at the bottom, she'll snatch it off them, selotape up the bottom and open the top before handing it back to them.
Secondly whilst walking into work with her she suddenly started yelling about something.
"What's up?" I asked innocently.
"I just stepped on a crack." She replied sounding distraught. "Now I have to keep my fingers crossed until I see a dog." Wtf? As if this wasn't bad enough, she's a typist which is pretty difficult with crossed fingers (which you'll now all try to do like I just did). Thankfully there's a picture of a guide dog the office sponsored just inside the building so she managed to work wthoit lookiomg loike a moneger.
(Try it, you know you want to.)
