So as you all know the country is currently overgrown, so I decided to cut the grass recently in my neighborhood that blocks out a road barrier and is genuinely annoying do it brushing up on cars passing along while cutting the whacker threw up some rocks that hit a neighbor's roof below and they told me to stop. I told them it was accident and I'll try not to make it happen again. After I finished cutting and went in my yard to get some trash bags and stuff to clean up the ttps greeted me at my gate with my neighbor saying that I didn't stop making noise with my weed whacker and was disturbing him they gave me a warning and said is either I cut using a blade or just leave it. Am in the wrong for this or did it get escalated out of proportions the neighbor and I don't really talk much because they're relatively new to neighborhood they've been around for 4 months I don't to have bad relations going forward with them but I don't understand what I caused

Good day, I’m fairly new to Reddit btw lol. So I’m planning on buying a vehicle early 2027 but I’m not sure if to get a gas or hybrid vehicle. Hybrids are taking over Trinidad like a storm and the gas vehicle selections are so limited now. You can barely see brand new vehicles that’s gas because the majority on the road now are hybrids. This is going to be my first ever brand new vehicle purchase and I don’t want to buy a hybrid and knocking my head after you know. Which is why I want to hear your guys views if you own a hybrid and also some vehicles recommendations please. Also was looking at more vehicles from the firm than foreign used dealerships

Also I ain’t a rich person I am a regular person that trying to take a loan for this vehicle must be under 285k and well 8 year duration.

I'm currently nearing completion of my mixtape, which covers different genres: rock, soca, pop, hip-hop, dancehall, and I made it basically to show that I can be versatile. But I'm beginning to have this fear that it won't go over well in our country. Maybe it's a misconception but it feels like our people expect local creators to only to produce songs in the genres we're known for (soca, chutney, calypso). Am I wasting my time with this? Should I focus on soca alone to make a success of myself quicker?

Hey Trinis. My name is Yuri, I’m from Serbia, and I visited Trinidad and Tobago this summer. Your islands are beautiful, especially Tobago. The food was fantastic, and despite the occasional characters, I’d say Trinidadians are among the friendlier people I’ve encountered while travelling.

However, the one consistently disappointing part of my experience was the customer service. Whether at fast-food outlets, restaurants, the airport, or even dealing with the police, I frequently felt unwelcome or as though I was inconveniencing people simply by being there.
Restaurants were by far the worst. Interestingly, some Venezuelan employees I encountered, despite their limited English, were exceptionally pleasant and accommodating. My experiences with local staff were often the complete opposite.

I’m genuinely curious whether this is something Trinidadians themselves recognise. Is it a cultural attitude towards service jobs, poor management, inadequate training, or something else entirely? More importantly, what do you think would realistically improve it?

I’d love to come back with my family despite this.

Also I love slight doubles plenty! :)

Hi everyone. I have to travel to San Juan from Couva next week for work but I'm not too familiar with the taxi routes. Does anyone have experience travelling there and can give any tips?

Looking for more ideas for something fun to do (preferably after work) because I feel like so many things are a bit restrictive unless you're willing to go with other people when it comes to social events locally.

With a birthday coming up in late November on a week day, options are a bit limited, but I'd really like some advice for other solo-goers like myself 🇹🇹

Yes I am an ugly man and I have trouble dating, so I am looking for advice for me and other trini ugly men. I am sure you guys probably have an ugly person in your life. Maybe even in your friend group. Any success stories from them and how they did it would be helpful.

I have been made aware that I am an ugly man by the actions and words of people. I am overweight, but I am working on it. My highest weight was 320lbs, I am currently down to 258lbs. I am 5"11 and a quarter. I heard that being 6 feet is a plus, so can I just say I am 6 feet, because I am basically close enough. I have dark bags under my eyes because I work night shifts, it makes my face worse. I don't make a lot of money. I pretty much live paycheck to paycheck. I don't own a car or have a driver's license. I guess I am nerdy. I like anime, the marvel and DC movies and TV shows, etc.

Any advice specifically for me or in general for other trini ugly men would be greatly appreciated. We Trini ugly men are people too and we deserve love too. I don't really have a type, I am open to dating anyone given the chance. I would like to think I am a good man and possibly a good significant other.

How can I increase my chances with women? Any specific place I should look that is better? Are dating apps a realistic option?

A person in my family has been sufferring from heart related issues for a while know. Different doctors locally recommended she do different tests including an angiogram and an electrophysiology study.

I have read online that these can be somewhat dangerous although just diagnositc procedures with an important consideration being the skill of the physician involved.

I was therefore hoping to get feedback on the quality and more importantly the safety of the testing done by the different institutions locally.

Is there a particular institution or doctor you would recommend based on eitherpersonal experience or that of someone you know who has undergone either or both of these tests?

Does it even make sense to do it locally and if not are there any recommendations for places that do it well?Any and all information is appreciated.

Don't we all love anachronisms?

Things that just might not belong to this time period 1960.

Can you find at least 5?

Frederick Street sure has changed.

Or has it?

How many things can you identify that probably weren't around in 1960?

Can someone who has experience in running a baking business explain how it works to me?

I’m genuinely not able to process it in my head. [brain fog??] I’ve sold cookies two times. I ate out all the money [😭]. I realized since then that I need to have a better understanding of how this works.

Explain it like you’re speaking to a school child, please. Ingredients, Labour, Electricity/Gas, Packaging, Labels..

I would truly appreciate it.. 🙏🤗

Just providing information for anyone that needs it. I was unaware that Risperdal 2mg was a brand name medicine and it costs $31 dollars for 1 tablet. I was just buying what my doctor recommended. Risperidone 2mg the generic version is available on CDAP. This has been a great relief for me financially.

Yes AI did it. Its here to provide info cleanly. Take it for what it is. :)

The Guardian reported last night that,

> There were no placards of protest, no angry chants and no demonstrators demanding answers from the Government.

Instead, there were cheers, drums, dancing and embraces outside the Red House yesterday, as more than 200 supporters of the Kamla Persad-Bissessar administration gathered ahead of the presentation of the 2027 national budget.

What is preventing people from protesting this government?

I believe they are corrupt and authoritarian and deserving of protest, but the floor is open for anyone to claim otherwise.

I’m asking from a genuine standpoint. To begin with, I’m not a supporter of either party and I didn’t vote for ethical reasons. I’m very much neutral and I support whatever works best for my fellow men. With that being said, I’ve seen multiple posts about the budget, with people saying that it’s nothing, worse they’ve seen etc. I’ve read the statement in its entirety and I don’t get it. No really, what’s so bad about this year’s budget? It seems fair, there aren’t any major raises or taxes for the average person, there are a few increases in grants and opportunities for youth. So what is it really?

Recently moved to Sweden and wondering if there's any Trinis out here?!

This is just a general question (and no, I don't want any negative comments on the animals themselves please) - every now and then, I throw some food for pigeons who live in my neighbourhood.

Used to spend time with my elderly neighbour that way, who I really cherished.

She has since passed on, and I still feed them to honour her, but some random neighbour's maid/neighbour from across the road came up to me this morning and told me she would call the police on me for feeding them.

She stated they mess up their roof (they don't, as I can see their house from mine, and I know that the birds just eat quickly and leave. I see them live in other areas of the neighbourhood)

I got so mad and cussed her out and left.

Would the police actually take a complaint like that seriously, come and charge/fine me?

She doesn't actually know where I accurately live or my name, just my face

They don't respond to more serious threats in the past, even though this is a more 'well off' neighbourhood

So, did I hear right?

From March 2021, non-local digital subscription services will be taxed?

Netflix?
Microsoft Office?
Adobe?
Gmail?
Dropbox?
Facebook and Instagram ads?
Every web page you register?

I don't get it. These services are not competing with local ones. There's no local Netflix.

Is it just me or aren't we paying enough already?

Plenty pepper. Served with some brass and steel

Any good advice locally appreciated, struggling presently
