Hilarious moment: One of the office drivers had been promising to come over to my apartment to help me fix my washing machine. Yesterday we left early for a meeting and on the way we realized we had just enough time to go to my place, fix it and still make it in time for the meeting. All was going well and, in spite of Sanaa's maddening road system that requires you to go from A to B via D, E and F, it looked like we were going to make it. We took a shortcut and then, Bam!, got stuck.
A truck broke down coming in the opposite direction, right in front of a parked car, leaving no room for other cars to pass. The truck driver got out of the cab and looked bewildered for a moment. He probably hadn't had enough qat yet. Then he walked back behind the rear wheel -- this is a 3-ton truck, mind you, the kind that has tires about 6-feet high -- and gave a push! Like he was going to be able to just bump the truck out of the way!! Hilarious.
