Arpomatic Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 So me and my buddy ryno keep our hookahs at my apartment and people come over and just light them up. I think it is like that because I would come home and light my hookah and just pass it around. I mean you guys know how it is, you wanna share if you got it. But I think people just got too comfortable. Now they just light it up without me here, and then they started taking rolls of coals. I dont know what you are gonna do with coals without a hookah but we have came back after a weekend with 6-7 rolls gone. I dont understand it. I mean before it was cool cause I had money comin in. But now I dont have a job, and Im asking for a little money so we can get some more shisha and coals so the fun doesnt stop but people are being stingy. After all that time when I havent charged anybody to smoke.......I dont get it. I mean cummon, you all know this stuff isnt exactly cheap. It'd be like me just opening the fridge without asking and taking food. I got more respect than they do aparently...anybody else think its bullshit?

Johnny_D Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Invest in a lock?Or just plain tell them to not do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zabiela Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Lay down the law. Its your home. I used to have that problem, had a croud of "regulars" who ended up getting too comfy, so I had to regulate.I just sat them down and explained the situation clearly and concisely. If they're not assholes at heart, they will listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anathema Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I think he specifically said the people who come over are TAKING ROLLS OF COALS. So that means they're using them outside of his apartment, stealing you could say.So you just need to not let them take it? Shouldn't you each have your room and have it locked? Or do people come over when you're not at home? very very confusing. So pretty much, it's a no-brainer, keep your shit in your asshole. Do they just walk out the door with rolls of coals in their backpocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Devils Playground Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Dude thats called theft. Be cool and leave 1 flavor and say 5 coals in the house at a time take the rest of the stuff put it in a hookah box and toss it in your tyrunk of your car when you leave screw them.Thats how I would handle it dude. We used to have free loaders at the first shop I lost alot of people when i stopped letting everyone freeload for free but the profits went way up. Do the same thing charge for bowls just a couple bucks and the good people will pitch in and the freeloaders will bounce like rubber balls and you will save money.

r1v3th3ad Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Ya, from now on, tell them its two bucks each per bowlas for the disappearing coals...if they dont have a hookah, then they are probably doing what I do for fun with shitty coals; I light them up red hot and use the tongs to throw them at the ground as hard as I can...its rather entertaining.

AzZ Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Didn't something similar happen like this a week ago? Ryno got back and loads of shisha had been smoked? It's time to lay down the law and deal with those guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralleac Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Lock your apartment and keep the hookah supplies somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 That is horrible! Locking it up is good. Switch out a door knob on a closet you can lock. $10 bucks and 20 minutes later you don't have to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I make on average 40-50 bucks every Wednesday in order to finance Hookah Nights. You have to charge man. That's your hard earned money you are spending in order for them to enjoy life. (Don't charge for the pipe, that's stingy. Charge for the coals and shisha. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erufiku Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I still maintain that arsenic-laced shisha is the solution to all problems.Also feel free to post in the 'People that should be systematically exterminated' thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornkitten42 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have friends similar to this. They don't steal anything though. My fiance NEVER smokes by himself, so our friends use that as an excuse to light the hookah. Well JB wanted to smoke, well it's not JB's hookah or stuff now is it?! It's my stuff and MY money. I asked them to throw in some cash if they are going to keep smoking my stuff and use my hookah without cleaning it! But alas, they haven't so I am going to have to resort to hiding all my shisha and restrict them to the freeloader pile. and not provide coals. I got to lock those bad boys up too.

SimplexCoda Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Ya I have a change bucket on the bar next to my hookah cabinet and people typically just put in some pocket change when they walk past and it all goes back towards new supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakingkevin23 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I suggest investing in a box of rolland's, just for your friends to smoke. Take the good coals and leave them in your car, along with all the good tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paiintballa182 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Thats terrible. I would rather smoke body hair than rolland coals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensae Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Well that would teach them a good lesson. If you want to freeload, you can taste all the shit that comes with it.(I've never used Rollands, but from what I hear I'm glad I haven't.)Personally I wouldn't be that mean with people freeloading, assuming they aren't stealing shit. I'd lock up my exoticas and fantasia, and let them smoke 3K and Nakhla, while doing the change thing / expecting them to pitch in here and there.Luckily none of my friends are like that. My hookah is my baby and they respect me enough they've woken me up to ask if it's okay if they light a bowl, and even then they either smoke Nakhla or ask me specifically "Can I smoke some of your Fantasia X or Starbuzz X?".
