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."

Invented my own traditionBack story: bought two melons for the price of one from a supermarket. Ate one - yum, didn't fancy the other and the best before was fast approaching.
Mate of mine moves into new house, I go to visit but I have no gift.
Brainwave! Give him the melon.
Walk in, hand it over, he looks confused and I say
'It's a tradition'
And he seemed quite happy with that. Hope it catches on.
