No running water when I got to the local dance club in San Jose de las Matas, they have a gallon of water in the bathroom to wash your hands, no water in toilet tanks and a lady hands out toilet paper at the entrance to the bathroom. :ermm:

1. Blackout... specially when everything is fine but right after the election... BLACKOUT!!!!

2. The way people Drive. Many turns into a street like they are in a hurry and then drives like a turtle.

3. Window cleaner on the street. Window cleaning is not a job.. it is still begging!

4. We need to wear seatbelt but goverment trucks can carry 50 people on the back of a truck almost falling out.

Dominicans who pi$$ and moan when we pi$$ and moan.

Gringo people pleasers who echo them.

Low moral and ethical standards of the majority when it comes to finances, ruthless business on a really amatuer level is laughable and some of these clowns actually take themselves as serious businessmen.
 
All the perverts who run after children.

And number two must be the dirty drunks that more or less lives in the bars and drinks warm brugal from milk glasses all day long and cry about life.

Number three is the gringos who comes here without more then 5euro in their pocket, and then want to become your new best friend.

Things that ruffle my feathers:
1) Those people with a towel that "help you park" [or get in your way, depending on how you look at it.] and then demand money.

2)Customer service nearly anywhere. If not everywhere.

I don't care if this is paradise, when I go to the bathroom in a restaurant, I want a toilet seat to sit on. Sometimes my boys don't feel like a swim before dinner.

frustration

trying to catch someone's attention at Parada Amarillo or any such eatery in Santo Domingo and when finally achieved greeted with a loud " EHHHHH??" when I try to explain what I want..what is that all about- it is very rude and a constant issue- I say something each and every time, but I find people do it all the time ..... try that here and you're likely to get a big argument . Oh and another is constantly having to check my money when I get change at a colmado, or a store or even a cambio- it must have happened to me 20 times at least where I get cheated... I catch it and go back to correct the person, -and I am ALWAYS right- but do I get an apology-?? no. Never... just a shrug... almost a game to some I seriously think.....if they get away with it with a gringo- what the heck- very unfair- but I still love the DR more than any other place on earth.......................and keep going back and pumping my dough into it....

I dislike those guys with the towel who supposedly help you park your vehicle and say they will watch it for you then you take two steps and he's gone!!! then when you come out of that particular place they're expecting a handout I hate that!!! I also dislike shady,sneaky, arrogant guys from overthere particularly the 40's and 50's yr old guys who pay girls money to be with them and then they think they got game and good macking skills yeah right!!!

The holes in the roads! I now apparently have a permanently mis-shaped rim on my rear left axle...because although I've had puncture repairs numerous times on all wheels they can't find any other reason for the air to always be escaping slowly!
