FunkyBuddha Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Health risk? Bah! I mean burning the house down! Didn't see any remotely recent posts relating to this topic so thought it'd be fun to start. Simply share a story of a shisha session gone wrong. In my old apartment we use to smoke on the floor with a folded towel under the hookah just in case the coal spilled. Well low and behold whilst I am merrily loading the next bowl I hear feminine screams of horror resonating through my humble abode. I rush into the living room (an excruciating three steps) to see my now ex-girlfriend holding her hand and her friend placing the coal gingerly back onto the bowl. In her infinite wisdom my ex decided to catch the coal after someone tugged the hose a bit too much. So after treating the minor burn wound and moving the hookah to the balcony the night was relatively uneventful (unless you count AFV). Then there's the incident where I may have allegedly repeated the mistake on bare carpet and spent the next twenty minutes shaving my carpet with a knife before my easily excitable roommate got home. Err on the human side... Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I once tried to catch a falling coal too when I myself tugged on the hose a bit too much. It does not feel good and is such a major buzzkill!! Damn you reflexes!!! Also, in the beginning of my hookah adventures, we were smoking at a friend's place who introduced our group to the world of hookah, and he had the hookah set up very close to his bed, and it was winters so there were blankets and what not on the bed itself. When we were done smoking, we slid the coals into the tray and he came downstairs with us to see us off. The next day he showed up for work, he was wearing the same clothes he had been wearing the night before, and cursed us all, because apparently, one of the coals or a part of coals had missed the tray and fell on one of the blankets that was kind of half way on the floor. In a nutshell - his whole apartment was up in flames by the time we finished our drinks downstairs and he went back up. Good thing it was rented, and he hadn't deposited any security!

TheyCallMeDave Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Drunk friend Trevor: "HEYGYEYG, I WANNA SAY BYE TO YOU GUYS, GIMMIE A HUG!" Me: "No. You're drunk. You're going to tip over my hookah." Drunk friend Trevor: "No. NOOO. No I promise I won't, cmon, trust me." Me: "I'm still saying no, but something tells me you're going to ignore me and huge us anyways." *Trevor stumbles over knocking down my hookah from the table, splashing coals all over my friend Josh's croch.

Matto Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 One night last winter at my old house, which was a giant old Victorian home where I lived with 4 roommates, the power went out. Luckily we had a gas fireplace so we chilled in the living room by the fire place and used it to light the coco's on a spatula. We had a big giant Mya Colssus at the time, which was unstable by nature. To make matters worse we had quite a lot of beer, not a lot of light, and barely any room to move around the hookah. So one of my roommates, Jake, was laying down on the floor with his head close to the hookah base. Just as Jake was passing out / going to sleep, another roommate, Adam, drunkenly stumbles up to get another beer and of course catches the hookah hose on his ankle. This pulls the hookah onto sleeping/passed out Jake, the quite heavy Colussus stem hits him right on the forehead and the coals fall onto his chest. Luckily he had on like 8 shirts, a jacket, and a hoodie, so I was able to pull them off in time before they burnt a hole into his heart. The best part was he tried to stand up afterward and fell right back down on his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Once dropped a hot coal on my handicapped friend's legs. Thankfully, he didn't panic because he didn't feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Cat knocked over my hookah once cause she was curled around the vase and for some reason she got up too suddenly and decided to jump onto the couch. Well, when she jumped, she made the towel that my hookah sits on slide back and there went the hookah. I caught it midfall, saving anything from breaking. But I had quite a few coals to pick up as quick as I could and then I had to do a little bit of carpet repair. Needless to say, I don't allow her to be on the coffee table with my hookah anymore.

Kapten Kanel Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Well, drunk as fuc* (as in drinking pure absolut vodka 40% from a regular glass as if it were soda), decide to bring two cocobricos (around 4 coconaras) from the kitchen to the living room, with a coal tong, one coal resting above the one in the tong. Somehow drop both from 1,5m height, both cracks on impact with the floor and splits into 100000 burning pieces, try to pick them all up by hand. Too drunk to realize that my fingers are getting burned. Burns everywhere on the plastic floor (in my friend's new apartment, it was a "moving-in-party"), put a few of the burning pieces on the bottom part of the doorframe, pick up the rest of the pieces, forget the ones on the doorframe, the lay there burning deep pits in the wood. Proceed to break down into an alcoholic cry-fest, talking random nonsense about having to work free for several years to pay for all this. Wake up in the morning on the cold hard floor, feeling like jumping from the nearest balcony. In the end it all solved itself /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pighair47 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 chilling at some random guy who my friend knows apartment, way to drunk to be handling a hookah. we decided instead of finding a table that we would each take turns holding it for the person next to us.. bad idea.. someone called my name so i turned to look turning the hookah upside down, which made the coal fall into the couch where it began to burn a hole, drunk person next to me picks up the coal, which burns there hand causing them to throw the coal across the room, about 4 drunks run across the room tryin to get the coal, the hardwood floor of the apartment now has numerous burn marks.

Satou Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 'so many ruined sessions In a moment of clumsiness, my lovely and I knocked our hookah over which was on our desk (which is precariously close to our bed) on to the bed and floor. Coals splashed on to the apartment carpet and on to our new sheets. In our adrenaline to pick up the coals we ended up with a lovely black scorch mark on the carpet and holes in our sheets. So much for enjoying that night and a game of starcraft. I had a friend (now they became just some random acquaintance) who was rather new when it came to smoking hookah, And I have had this happen a few times with the same friend and others and that is Hogging the hookah. They don't put any effort towards making the bowl or buying it and just sit there puffing away with out offering the person who bought or made it a drag. :I I never told said friend about this at all, instead I seethed over it and usually became extremely annoyed when they started making grab hands at the hose. This typically ruins the mood much like a coal falling on to a carpet, dare I say I don't ever want to smoke with this person again because every hookah session with them turns out to be 'can I have some please'. In a particular hookah lounge and I see and experience this all the time - drunk as a skunk individuals getting nice and cozy with me or the random people sitting next to me; trying to flirt, shot gun or in essence steal another's hookah hose. This turns out either' please don't invade my space' sort of ordeal where I will squish more in to another random person to get away or the person who is being offended squishes in to me. This becomes uncomfortable and focuses my attention else where - i.e hoarding my hose, and trying to get away, than relaxing and enjoying my time.

joytron Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I light my friends apartment on fire. It was a small fire, but a fire none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angekfire Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I was at a friend's place, and he had a hookah, I had brought the shisha. It was a party, and he set up the hookah. One guy was pretty drunk, and asked to try it. My friend said alright, so the guy tries it. He blows into the hookah instead of inhaling, and water comes out the stem and bowl like a fountain, putting out the coal & soaking the shisha. We get pissed at him, we clean the hookah and repack the shisha, light a new coal. It gets started, and same drunk guy, now even more drunk than before, comes back and asks to try, assuring us he won't blow into it. I would have straight up said no, but it wasn't my hookah or house, so not my call. He says alright, and the guy grabs the hose. And then he walks away holding it, pulling the hookah off the table. The coal falls to the ground, and mt friend picks up the coal with his hands and throws it in the sink, though he doesn't get burned. Luckily it was linoleum floors so not carpet. However, the burning coal on the floor sets of the fire alarm. The drunk guys yells "I got it" and stands on my friend's desk chair. He swats at the lit lightbulb, being drunk and believing it to be the fire alarm, breaking the lightbulb with his bare hand, then falls backwards off the chair, breaking the back off of it. We cleaned up the broken glass, my friend's chair was busted, but I think the guy made it out basically unhurt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawhee Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 ^ I second that notion! on topic though... burnt my friends floor 3 times and also his couch once (hookah on table + drunk guy smashing into table, hookah on floor + drunk guy falling onto it, hookah on floor + drunk chick managing to accidentally kick it into the couch, hookah on floor + cat failing its jump and landing on the hose, pulling the hookah down), my carpet has a couple burn marks, mostly from coals cracking while in tongs, one from me being drunk (I managed to turn and hit the hookah with my hand) and one from my friend just letting go of the tongs in some weird space out moment. ahhh, the accidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiyentai Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) Wow...and people wonder why I don't like drinking or parties :| Any who. My story isn't as eventful I guess but it could be a "blunder" I guess. So I have only started since about the first of this month I got a small Hookah for my fiance for us to share. Well all the local smoke shop has is Dodo QL disks and Silver Lights from Dodo as well. Now the QLs get the job done but they have a BAD habit of sparking and in one event exploding . So I am lighting the coal with a bic and hear the normal pop they make and before I can move it towards the screen I hear a loud crack/pop and feel something burning my eye and also notice my tongs are empty. I look down and see the coal exploded in to 3 nice size pieces, ironically they landed on the screen missing my foot that is in a brace cause I broke it. So now my eye is watering and I am just looking at the coals like "wtf just happen?" then after making sure I was ok put the screen on the bowl and had a good session with AF Strawberry cherry mix. I now light them even farther from my face the normal lol. Edited August 27, 2011 by Keiyentai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLCP Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 These stories are great! About a month ago, I was smoking in my living room with a friend of mine. My grandma was coming over to watch my nephew for awhile. Well.... She was an hour early. I could hear knocking on the door. We grabbed the hookah and was rushing to get it outside when the coals fell off the tray and onto the wood floor. I quickly grabbed 3 of the coals. But I couldn't find the 4th one.... All I smelled was it burning through something. I was freaking out tearing everything apart looking for it. Found it on the sliding glass door rail, burned a hole straight through the plastic. That was quite the experience. Oh and my grandma got in after 5 minutes of knocking. haha. Also dropped coals in my room quite a few times. I need to stop smoking inside. lol.

rhineholt Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I was smoking in my house one time. I had the hookah about a foot away from me. I somehow knocked into the hookah, causing one to fall off onto the carpet. i went to bend over to pick it up, but my phone fell from my lap and landed RIGHT on the coal, shattering it in like, a million pieces. -___- i tried picking them all up, but i ended up just throwing my sprite all over it.
