r/Hawaii

I’ve been way out of market for too long and I want to meet this person soon. Does nature date sound like a bad idea? Tantalus?

Just curious since the state didn't want to shell out the estimated 400k it was expected to cost. Kinda curious what a bunch of maindland haoles decided to do to showcase Hawaii. Really hoping it's not all women in coconut bras and grass skirts. 😑

Hi all,

First time posting on this sub and Reddit in general. I had a strange encounter on Kamehameha highway on Oahu near Kualoa Beach that I wanted to get second opinions on, as well as see if anyone had had a similar experience.

My wife and I were driving to meet family that’s staying on the island at about 1:30 a.m., July 3rd with our two month old daughter, driving a rental car. As we were driving, I saw a small white dog run across the street, and I immediately stopped the car. Shortly after, a Hawaiian woman appeared and started shouting towards the car. Unsure of what was happening, we paused for a moment. Finally I heard her say, “Call the police. That man is stealing my car.” Looking to the left side of the road, there was a car pulled over with a man rummaging through the second row driver‘s side. My wife told me to keep driving. Reluctantly, I did. Something seemed very off about the situation, the way the woman approached our car, and the small white dog.

I was afraid the woman might be in real trouble, so as we drove down the road, we called the police and reported what had happened. They sent someone to investigate.

As I reflect on this event, I am becoming more sure that we might have avoided a staged carjacking in which we may have found ourselves the victim. I searched the news about a car jacking last night and tonight, but I haven’t found anything.

Am I being paranoid? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Is it likely this woman was actually being robbed?

Aloha guys

I'm a 22 year old male looking for a career change I studied psychology in college and currently work full time in the DOE, I'm so burnt out. I love cars and I'm interested in learning how to fix cars. But I never done anything more than an oil change. Alot of people are saying car mechanic isn't worth it due to hard work and low pay. I'm open to any job that in more hands on. Is there anywhere on Oahu where I can learn a trade without getting more in debt?

Anyone know what is going on in Kailua? Looks like they had fire rescue and Coast Guard choppers out searching the water.

Got a ticket for ignoring stop sign. How likely will this affect my insurance premiums? Should I fight it or just pay and be done with it?

Anywhere in the state that does kintsugi?

On Oahu would be preferred. I stumbled upon a place in Hawi but they never responded. (I don't mind mailing it in state if gotta - still supporting local)

Thanks in advance!

This is a longshot, but I’ve seen crazier coincidences on Reddit. I caught the W this morning from the airport around 10 AM and I left my gray backpack on there when I got off at Alamo area.

I will definitely pay a reward for my work laptop, which is absolutely useless to anyone else.

I’ve called the bus customer service and all I could get was a voicemail box and I left a message

I'm usually more of a lurker on reddit but thought I would share something my mom just observed so everyone knows who they are voting for.

On Hanakahi and Fort Weaver my parents watched one haole tear down Green's poster, throw it into the yard of the house, and put up a poster for Markus Owens. Funnily enough the guy looked a lot like Markus Owens.

Didn't know community elections was so cutthroat 😂

Why is Hawaii (Oahu) so anti ear piercings for babies? After researching myself I chose not to do it til my child is older (it can get crooked or uneven as their ears grow) I’m still not sure why nobody wants to do it unless they’re 10 and up. It’s just not like this in CA so it intrigues me and wondering what other people who live here think about it!

Im a 40 year resident and i work in a professional services sector that pays well. Truly blessed. But this old client of mine had a personal tradegy and he asked me to help him with his assests etc. I said ok but for a fee. We agreed and signed a contract. He did not pay. Wrote me a stupid email about "parting ways". I sued him in court PRO SE and I just won yesterday!! The judge was amazing. Local boy born and raised and he was not putting up with some rich mainlaind jerk. The defendants attorney tried to throw everything at my case but in the end it did not work. Now i just need to collect which will be easy. I feel like i won one for the folks who get up and do the right thing everyday!!!

I'm trying to make buttermilk fried chicken for the 4th tomorrow, but I'm having a hard time finding buttermilk. I checked Whole Foods and Safeway in town but they didn't have whole milk buttermilk. Is there anywhere that reliably has it?
