bayne Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 How bout a sob story? So guys, basically; I have always been careful with my hookahs. Carrying by base only, making sure the bowl wont ever fall, and clearing a path so as not to trip. I look upon everyone with broken bases and say, "Wow, they must be really irresponsible for that to happen." Well, today, it did. I had been gone for a couple days and my hookah gear had been placed in a box and put upstairs where I sleep. As I'm climbing up this piece of shit ladder, it begins to slip, and I shift my weight so it stops shifting- but it continues to tumble. In a last ditch effort, I slam my hand down on the floor to save my fall and postpone the fall of the ladder thats 18 feet tall, and find my hand to contact the flap of the box my hookah is stored in, and the box slams to its side. My hookah begins to roll violently over the edge, and I flip the box quickly to as save anything else in the box. The base is completely shattered and tray dented. I saved my MNH Jet phunnel, but my hookah is ruined. If anyone has a base they would send me, or would like to help finance my next hookah, please PM me. Someone willing to sell me an old MZ or KM would be appreciated, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice use of strong words like violently and such.This got a bit of a chuckle out of me.My story may be elaborate, and a bit melodramatic, but I'm feeling pretty down about it, as it really is not my fault.

Dom Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 don't feel bad. it's one thing to break your own stuff. what if it had been someone else's?i was smoking up at Eric Hofmann's store and when i was cleaning up at the end of the day, one of the vases slipped out of my hand and crashed into the sink onto one of his nice ceramic plates he brought from home. both were in a million pieces. i felt like shit for doing that, but he understood that it was an accident and forgave me immediately. but the very next time i was up there smoking, and cleaning out the hookah i was smoking out of, i broke one of his phunnels! how clumsy of me! he forgave me for that, too, but it was worse because the phunnels cost more to replace than the vase. i felt like crap for fucking up twice in a row, but he teased me about it later and had no hard feelings.
