Hookah Ignorance

[Dragonsmettle]

*not sure if this was done before*
Tell people about your experiences with people that dont understand the hookah and insult you or it in some way, or attempt to take/confiscate or destroy it.

I love it when people refer to it as a bong. Never had any trouble with John Law, though, just stupid weed references.

I hate stupid people they should just wear a sign that says I'm stupid

My friend had his in his car at school and they confiscated it

My buddy's gf threw a tantrum when I invited her over for hookah and chat. She's been told on multiple occasions that it's tobacco *and* she smokes black and milds. So I said, well you don't have to smoke, I'll throw some appetizers in the oven and we can all talk and listen to music. She then screamed that she didn't want to be around it and hung up on my buddy. Other than that, there have never been any problems.

The hookah ignorance I like the most comes from the local headshop-slash-hookah lounge. They can only get away with calling themselves a hookah lounge because they are a tobacco shop, 80% or more tobacco related sales, no food or beverage, otherwise the city wide smoking ban would prohibit any smoking. They have ONE small rotator hookah, pretty much force al-waha five star (or whatever else isn't selling and is about to go bad) down your throats, and pack the bowls way too tight for good airflow.

The best part is they put quicklights ON the bowlscreen to light them.

Dumbasses.

I wonder if they sell many of those $60 pumpkin hookahs they carry. I would think one session at that place would be enough to make anyone swear off hookah forever.

[The King]

damn, they sound like morons, and 60 for a pumpkin hookah??? theyre 25 here

you should hit up cozy cafe in new york, they have really good tobacco, and they use natural coals. Its a really nice place and they have a lot of nice hookahs to smoke from. Lol to keep on subject though i remember walking in to the place and a couple walking by said " Jeez there goes another group of kids getting high" Honestly! Do they really think a place would sell weed to its costumers. Cmon... I think we should send informational flyers to every1 around the world explaining what hookah is. This just grinds my gears.

That's nothing.

I Was Standing at a grocery store one day looking at the magazine rack. This guy, roughly 50ish and dressed basically as I was in jeans and a t shirt walks by, looks at me and says "fuckin pothead"

Now mind you, I have never tried pot in my life. I have no tattoos or piercings, keep my hair pretty short..... WTF? The only thing I can think of is that since I had just gotten off work ( I work for a beer distributorship), I was still wearing a Beer logo'd shirt, that says Lost Coast Brewing, Eureka CA. Eureka is in humboldt county, which.... but I think that's a stretch since the logo is on the front of the shirt and he walked behind me.

I dislike when people say its a bong and say that "****" will later be smoked out of it.

[Allia22]

Ugh, don't get me started on the idiots around here, I may not stop

[teox]

when i first told my parents that i smoked hookah and told them what it is my dad's first word were "So, its a bong" hehe i started laughing and said "no its a hookah, or waterpipe or whatever" then he said "call it what you will, my little tolker" and left the room lol it was funny. he knows its not a bong but teases me bout it all the time. like when i'm going out he says "dont forget ur reefer" and stuff like that.

other than that i've only had 2 run ins with the law and a couple with nozy neighbors "saying that kids bad news" cause they think i smoke pot out of it, which is funny cause i know their kids smoke weed and they have no idea

First, I love the Metalocalypse avatar.

On topic, someone trashed my first hookah thinking it was the problem after I got expelled from school for a totally different reason.
