This is a question 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."

Our bestest cinema tradition
We had a cinema tradition when I was at 6th form.

We would get to the cinema for the late (eg midnight) showing of the film. We woudl go in and at the top of the stairs is a huge fibreglass rooster (Foghorn Leghorn I think). My then-boyfriend would run up to him and hug him as if he was a long lost friend.

We would then buy loads of food and stuff. I would always have an ice cream Bounty.

When we got into the cinema, we would always sit in row J (for that was the row with the bar you could rest your feet on). We would then throw popcorn at each other throughout the adverts, mock the adverts and each other, and play the Burp game which generally involved lots of spammage.

When the film was over, someone would be (silently) nominated to have the remainder of the popcorn tipped over their head.

Then when we got outside Barney would throw the end of his drink onto the roof of the cinema, and would then drive us all home in his Citroen AX GTI.

Good times.

And Skotsman, you are BRILLIANT, Robert Rankin is a legend. I still laugh whenever I say it's a tradition or an old charter or something, and nobody ever knows what I'm talking about.
