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."

cinema habitsI fall victim to cinema tradition as well, and always have to shout "LIGHTS ARE DIMMING!" when they turn the house lights down (from Looney Toons Summer Vacation too - they used to have a member of staff shout it in the days of old to stop old ladies fainting when the room suddenly went dark).
And I always have to dance around in my chair to the Pearl & Dean ident music.
And I ALWAYS have to have a massive hot dog dripping in mustard. Okay, that last one's more gluttony than tradition, I'll grant.
I've gotten myself out of the habit of watching ALL of the credits, 'cos Ms Hairy used to get bored.
