Some traditions don’t deserve to kick around anymore, and these folks would like to see these specific ones go away.
(Just as a heads up, some of these folks did specify what country they’re from, but others didn’t, so apologies in advance in case of any confusion there.)

The tradition of fighting after any traffic accident.

When I lived in Wales there was a tradition where a person wearing a dead horse skull would come to your house and if you didn’t say a poem he/she would steal your booze and it was legal

Going to too many funerals. Fine for relations, friends, someone you actually knew. But in Ireland people go to the funerals of anyone they ever even said hello to, any relation (no matter how distant) of anyone they ever knew or worked with, anyone they ever lived withing a 20 mile radius of, or anyone who ever served them a drink.

I’m Portuguese,
I wish that people would show up on time. And not be bewildered when I’m mildly annoyed for waiting. Every. Single. Time.

“The customer is always right” in US business culture.
This has led to numerous exceptionally entitled assholes, retail fraud, return fraud, and businesses losing too much time and money trying to keep idiots happy.

Easter. More specifically Czech Easter. On the Eastern Monday, boys are visiting every house in the neighbourhood and are whipping girls with a willow stick and ribbons and reciting an Easter poem. Girls are supposed to give them usually sweets, eggs or alcohol. Google it. As a girl, I have to say it’s not that scary as it sounds. It’s not even painful (if someone isn’t an absolute idiot). But it’s a really awkward social interaction. And I hate it.

Bullfighting. And being able to advertise it and get funding as a “cultural event” is just madness.

The old firm (Protestant and Catholic football teams meeting up so the fans can kick the shit out of each other in a lively form of religious debate) honestly needs to die. Luckily the crowd gets older every year.

Glaring at people who jump queues but saying nothing because confrontation isn’t the British way. Was horrified when my American friend came over and yelled at some kids for pushing in a rollercoaster ride queue. Then they went to the back. If was great. We need to channel that ability to challenge people.

Yellow car. You see a yellow car, you have to shout it out and hit someone else. The bruises I used to get.
I’m from Sweden.

Being nice to the elders and never talking back. There have been times when my aunts and uncles have said outright offensive things, and I’ve had to hold my tongue and smile politely. Oh if only….
