So, My third time in the middle East, and I finally get to experience a sandstorm. I really don't know what to say about it, other than it was like rain, only sand. Just as I expected.
The thing about sand-rain is that it when it gets into your eyes, that shit hurts! I was sitting outside before work, and I put my glasses on to keep the sand out. That didnt work, so I put my sunglasses over it. Then I noticed sand was starting to stick in my hair so I covered up my head with a scarf, and put a hat on top of that. But of course, sand starting getting into my mouth and nose, so I covered up my face with this my jacket. Finally, about twenty minutes later I said screw it and went back inside.
The most interesting part is using the Porta Potty when there is a sandstorm. Now, normally I got to the porta potty armed with a can of lysol disinfecting spray, hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes. Laugh it up! If it were you, you would be in a full MOP suit, those things are discusting... anyway I digress..
So when there is a sandstorm, its insanely windy and there is sand everywhere, including all over the toilet seat in the porta potties. So instead of my normal hover (ladies, you know just what I mean) I have to kind of.. well, stand up and pee like a guy. So I assume a wide stance over the potty and try to aim without falling in and getting my butt all sandy. Let me tell you, this takes talent. The whole time, the porta potty is rocking back and forth with the wind AND I am praying that the door doesnt come flying open, at least until I have my pants up. I would just hold it shut, but, well..I dont want to touch the door. It's nasty!
You think that's bad? try doing it in the dark.
