What's pretty common where you're from, but completely unknown to people not from there?
I'll start, in Cape Breton we have this thing called Meat Darts. You play darts and can win meat instead of money. Best played down at the legion. It can be confusing when come-from-awayers see a sign that says, "meat darts tonight". Do you throw darts made of meat? Do you throw darts at meat? Did they forget a comma and are trying to say there are meat and darts tonight? Meat darts is a great time, you can't beat meat darts

Constant jaywalking.
Construction, potholes and cops in costume.
Switching between French and English multiple times during a single conversation.
Rioting:
After Metallica concerts.
After the local hockey team wins (the Stanley Cup and/or game 7 in the 1st round of the playoffs)
After the government tried to increase university tuition (by like $100-200 a year)
Also a friend convinced me to try meat darts in college once. His kind was also played downt the legion, but we had to go out behind the dumpster. Rules are rules I guess
Where I live now: knowing there's a very good chance that one or more of your friends has killed somebody (because like 99% of males 18-35 here are in the military. Yes, I am too, but I barely even use a pen, let alone a gun)
As well as a game where you throw bags.

One year someone spread the rumour that the smelt were in the river and the next day everyone took off school. There were no smelts in the river. Calamity.
