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."

no damn reason at allEvery year, near the end of December, I buy objects for family members, despite the fact that a) most of them have all the crap they will ever need b) none of us have the same taste and c) I rarely see these people and have no idea what objects they already own.
Every year, just because. Most of us aren't even Christian, but apparently the God we don't believe in will strike us down if we don't spend at least $100 per immediate family member. Stupidest goddamn thing I do all year. Most of what I get ends up donated to the thrift store, so I guess you can think of it as accidental charity.
