TheScotsman Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I have this "problem child" client, I just plain hate the guy's attitude. He is the typical "old world" German architect. But he spends piles of money, so I deal with it. Every time I have a call from him I spend the day wanting to strangle someone, and generally just end up in an obnoxious mood (Ya, I know that surprises you.) In anticipation of his call I setup my hookah in my office, and waited for him to call.Finally, after 3 hours of trying to figure out just what he needed done, and arguing about the cost, it was over.I stuck a few coals in my corn-furnace, and stuffed a nice big bowl of Tangiers lime. (Mmmmm)Coals hot, put them on the bowl, and that kraut called me back to change about everything he wanted... and argue about cost some more. Another half hour goes by, and he is finally done... back to my yet-unsmoked tangiers. Oh, oh, coals were on the bowl all that time. Might be a bit hot but still looking forward to it I take a nice, extra deep, relaxing draw...gasp...gag...sputter... cough, cough... wheezeturn blue... then some hue of acid-green.... More gaspingI forgot the water. Wow, that is a new level of self-punishment. (waterless hookah is known as "rhinelander" style around here. Affectionately named for Reinhardt, my favourite German pain in the ass.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuburbanSmoker Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 1. while setting up my exotica, a roomy walks by and taps the tray *supposedly*, bowl falls off the stem and hits the base breaking it into a bunch of pieces /cry.2. while studying for a final that would determine if i got into my major or not, i have a qt on my desk. facing the other way towards my buddy who was about to draw on it. All of a sudden i hear the bowl and base hit the table and feel a burning on the right side of my face. low and behold my buddy dumped a whole stick of lit charcoal on my face to proceed to my arms to my floor. Ive been burned almost every where by charcoal.Alot more, but all i care to disclose now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only I've forgot that beer caps haev small rubber circles on the inside. Inhaling those fumes wasn't quite a good experience, I tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Well I guess this one is mine fault, but mom did not help any...I used to keep water in our fridge in the garage, and used to use milk jugs, always had cold water ready in the garage for the hookah in the summer. Well, one day I didnt have a milk jug, but my baby sisters Baby Water (its just distilled water) and I go out the garage and dont see the jug... then I go inside and see my mom giving my sister a bottle. I then asked her where that jug went and she said its in the house now, and she just made her bottle with it. And then I tell her what it was, which was hose water...So needless to say, I label my jugs better now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumsygrace Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 One night, we had some friends over and were drinking and smoking, A LOT. We had three hookahs going for 5 people, and one was a two hose. It gets to the point where everyone is trying to make the best rings. I kept taking long drags in short periods of time. I ended up passing out while walking and I hit my face on the edge of a door. I had to get 17 stitches on my forehead and upper lip. Now I have two scars that line up perfectly with each other.

redjako Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) I've been playing Quake 3 Arena, Watching Soprano's (4 hours) and smoking for ~5 hours...Left two exotica's on the stove BURNING for two Fking hours...Careful late-night-hookah tuggers Edited February 18, 2009 by redjako Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 After burning a few holes in my carpet, I decided to buy a cheap rug to set my hookah on. Since then, the hookah has been bumped countless times, and every time a coal falls, it just rolls off the rug right onto the carpet. Needless to say, my carpet looks like the surface of the moon, but the good news is the rug is still good as new!Someone should add a tutorial on burned-carpet-mending on the wiki.

NICE And I concur, as I have spotted burn coal marks all over a place I was staying at, now renting out (lol).Linoleum also burns to black messes w/ coals...

Hobbs Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Up until last night I could say I didn't have any flat out "d'oh" moments. Here's what happened...Stepped outside to grab my freshly lit CH coal (I was smoking my little 10g bowl so 1 does me) .. since I only had 1 coal and had all of 6 feet to walk I decided to grab it with my tongs and carry it inside.WELL... as soon as I stepped outside and closed my door my asshole roommate set is dirty laundry hamper behind the door.. so I open the door with my left hand, holding the coal in my right.. get the door 2/3's of the way open and begin to cross the threshold when the door and laundry hamper meet.Not only did this spring loaded laundry hamper shove the door back in my face, it shoved the lit coal into my chest.I should also mention I wasn't wearing a shirt. I exacted revenge at 3 a.m. with a bucket of ice water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I picked up coal with these pliers that are about 10 pounds and have incredable torque. Needless to say with the slightest pinch the coal cracked and exploaded everywhere on my wooden floor. and I have burn spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
