Weird Traditions
Talking 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."

Fish food
In Hong Kong it is considered bad luck if you order fish & after picking the flesh on the upper side to turn it over to get to the other side. Turning the fish over means a fisherman will die.
Also in Hong Kong I had an uncle who worked for the Jockey club. He told me that above the entrance to the betting shops they put 12 daggers inside the wall, this stabs the punters in the back as they walk in to place a bet thus they will lose.
