GringoCarlos everybody who comes to live in the DR, knows all those problems, in fact some of those things I actually like (well not in the moment but later I just laught at it), it adds to the uniqueness of this country and without it it will lose the appeal. Why do you think Dominicans abroad wants to come back when they retire...
Maybe if you move to a quieter city like Santiago much of all those problems will be brought down not entirely but to an extent.
That is so true that is funny, without it it wouldn't be DR.

Disrespectful and argumentative people in the street: go anywhere near where taxistas are gathered, and see men beating on other taxis, shouting ugly words, etc..... Even when they are with friends, their language is coarse, loud and ugly.....Watch when two guaguas block the street as they try to outjockey each other to the curb while impeding any competition (and the rest of traffic) so that they can pick up one extra passenger in their chattara..... Watch people as they pass a bicyle vendor in the street with lots of traffic, and try to run over them, or force them to stop so they can pass...... Follow any girl who would rate a "4" or higher down a sidewalk, and listen to the crude things every dominicano between the ages of 15 and 80 say to them as they pass....Watch the shiny jeepetas try to turn a corner while nearly running down pedestrians and then shouting ugly things at the pedestrian for being in the way...... Try parking where some guy has staked out his own mobile carwashing service (a bucket and a rag) along the curb, tell them "no thanks" and come back to your car with a new scratch down the side, or a broken taillight..... Dominican driving habits in general...
