New Chumra #1 : All chicken and meat must be cooked before Pesach so that all Chometz is Batul

New Chumra# 2: Going to a women's shiur is Assur because someone might think you are learning Gemoro.

#3: Reading all Jewish magazines and newspapers is Assur because you might come across Loshon Hora

#1 is not a chumrah, its pure halacha!! All food must be fully cooked and frozen before pesach so you have time o take your kids on major tips every single day of chol hamoed!

If thou thinkest anyone will suspect that thou art going to mikva, thou shouldst postpone until it can be kept totally hidden.

All fruits and vegetables must be peeled and chopped before yomtov. Because there might be chometz on the peels. Leave in container of water in the fridge.
(Seriously I know someone who did this)

If you cooked the chicken soup on the milchig side of the stove it is treif and must be thrown out.

Girls may not get dressed up for Purim; it's so not tznius.

One may not spend less than $80 on shoes for the kids. If you have in mind that you're buying it special for yomtov then you'll be repaid from Hashem.

You get extra schar if your mishloach manos is themed with your costumes.

What?!? All vegetables are always assur on Pesach. Forget peeling it it beforehand. That's taking the easy way out.

Important: Each person must consume 12 large round hand Matzos at each seder in honor of the 12 tribes of Israel.

The poem must rhyme. Free verse is too modern and shows you didn't take the trouble to have someone else write it for you.

Thou shall send mishloach manos to every imamother poster who was offended from your posts the past year

Though shall erase from the heart and mind all views from posters who are not within your community as their views constitute chometz

I believe it was Rav Dovid Goldwasser who told us that the time of year he gets the most ridiculous Shaylos is the Shabbos after Pesach...about Shissel Challah. How do I do it? Can the key be wrapped in foil or does it have to go strait in? How big does the Challah have to be, how many meals do I need it for????

Come on people...this is MINHAG at most...Segula is more like it!!!!

APIKORSUS! Don't you know your kitchen must be kashered for Pesach by Tu B'Shvat, when the Pesach threads start? (It is muttar, and in fact lichatchila to keep a small part chametzdik in order to use when baking and designing those themed MM, however).

(lifted from another site) Just like it is forbidden to put honey on the mizbeiach, honey may not be added to challah.
