Annoying Dominican Habits
Many times their answer to a question is seldom related to the question.
... or if they do not know the answer they will give you one anyway.

well I went to a restaurant last week and one of the girls had deep fried ice cream, so why not deep fried ice cubes
True indeed. Ever ask someone for directions?
Like when you stay out late at night.....
You have to sleep so fast that you're exhausted in the morning
hahaha
you made my DayThought I'd start a humorous thread on some little annoying things in Dominican culture or particular to your Dominican GF, wife, worker or husband.
Here are a few of mine:
1. Mixing concrete in the middle of the asphalt road.
2. Opening the orange juice but only pulling the white inner tab partially open (then when I pour is splatters off the tab)
3. Wrapping a napkin around the top of my beer right in front of me so tight I have to shred it to drink the beer. Wasting napkins and wholly unnecessary
4. Never putting the top back on toothpaste
5. Always waiting until something breaks to fix it, even when it is obviously ready to break.
6. Assuming any empty solar means it is available for a garbage dump or for grazing livestock or both
7. Dangerously passing in a tapon only because they must be too important to wait like civilized persons.
8. Fake red and blue police lights in the front of their SUVs - the wannabe VIP syndrome
9. Girls with nice round posteriors wearing lycra so tight it jambs up their butt-crack ( makes for my distracted driving)
10. Men who call themselves mechanics or electricians who only only a hammer, one flat blade screwdriver and a rusty crescent wrench
11. Tightly double knotting the plastic bags in the supermarket so only a super patient person with nimble fingers would take the time to untie them
How about asking a Dominican for directions.
If it is further than directly across the street what they tell you is useless. I doubt they know North from South, but it was the same in Puerto Rico.
You think without actual street addresses in most places they would be better at providing directions.

Everyone knows you make left at Jose's house.
1. Not properly educating their dogs into not barking nonstop, even in the death of night.
2. Removing the silencers from their motos, so these do an infernal ruckus.

And taillights - so you can't see them at night
I'm often amused by how many Dominicans think Nueva York is a country.
Funny that you mentioned #1 about mixing concrete in the middle of the road as my wife just sent me videos of the workers putting the concrete on our roof today. They have a huge cement mixer, motorized concrete elevator, water truck and 4 or 5 pallets of concrete bags along with a huge pile of gravel right in the middle of the road. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I will say watching the whole operation is pretty amazing they certainly have it down to a science.
I’ve wondered that a lot. My guess is to deter shop lifting while patron leaves store. Still annoying as ever.
