Dumb Things Trinis Do

What are some of the Dumb Things Trinis Do that you see common each day?

Here are some just off the top of my head:

1. Cross the road while cars are coming and then stop in the middle of the road hoping the car will slow down.

2. Make some comment about how the prices of things are going up so much but they continue to buy it.

1. They try to pay with a $100 bill to the maxi taxi driver for a short drop.

2. They NEVER use car seats for their children in cars. I have seen babies standing up in front seat.

3. They tell their children's teachers to beat their kids if it is necessary ("Don't be afraid to give him/her licks you know!")

4. Have the latest car model yet living on a shack or renting.

5. Continue voting the same political party even though they know of their corruption or inability to handle crime because "I am PNM/UNC and I will die PNM/UNC"

6. Cuss you in the street if there is a disagreement, some they may even pull a knife on you for the silliest of things.

7. Staring at you constantly.

8. If there was an incident on the road or a fight, they will actually stop and get a closer look, some they even pull their lunch boxes while looking at the situation like if they are in the cinema.

I agree with some of the things, and I think this post should be re-named dumb things SOME Trinis do....

However I have to ask JB, what doubles man do you go to who makes doubles AND handles money, and whats wrong with having a line and waiting your turn?

Well, unless you're unhygienic....Would you make a line and wait for doubles from a guy that handles food AND money at the same time?

The country is entering a recession and I'm seeing people buying more than ever in the shops. I'd say that go along with "sumb things Trinis do".

You know what really gets on my nerves? When people are arguing about something and it never ends now, that's DUMB. So you argued, just walk away! Why keep talking about the issue like a mad man/woman?
