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."

Japanese Train DriversJapan has lots of strange traditions.
Japanese train drivers do all sorts of wonderful hand signals while they're driving, all while wearing white gloves.
When they see a green light ahead they put their index finger straight up in front of their eye and they extend it forward to point at the light and then bring it back again.
When they pull in to a station they point to the top of the timetable and scroll it down till they get to the current stop.
ps. I'm not a Japanese train driver and haven't been forced to do it.
pps. I'm not a trainspotter either.
