Having a POP and always having that one piece that you don't find until some time later... it completely holds you up from practicing that event (with your main, at least).
Big cubes collapsing... and I only go up to 4x4x4.

When newer cubers don't know about cubers I'd consider popular or well known. :p

one of the most annoying things, is a corner twist or a pop when you are really doing a good times
other thing that really obfuscate me is the G-perm, i'm cubing and i am saying: well, this really looks great, i'm going to make a sub-25 time, please, please i dont want to solve the g-perm in the PLL, please don't come out, and finally, comes out and is one that i still can't solve or one that i'm slow in ... finally the timers stop 35.00+, this is not my day

The fact that people think you're a weirdo, a nerd or some sort of strange people. I hate that people think I'm some sort of strange kid just for cubing. BTW, there are also people who think I'm some sort of super genius... I also dislike it but obviously not the same way.

I actually take offense to anyone who calls me a nerd for cubing.

I think the most annoying thing, as an adult doing the cube, is people think I'm doing it to get attention or show off... I'd rather be left alone while I do it, haha.
It seems to be the case when you do (and/or try to perfect) something the general public doesn't try to do (and/or try to perfect). What I always do is just keep solving and when I finish, I can tell that they are impressed -- they're just jealous.

I get that so much that I just don't even care.

People don't like the sound and sometimes they tell you that you're a no life and that's hurt :(
Yeah, that does...

A few weeks ago I showed how fast I could solve the cube to a friend, so I had a very lucky scramble and got 15 seconds, then he called me a nerd and a weirdo... last wednesday he asked me to teach him how to solve it that fast.

You too? I have all that fun stuff, ADHD and Asperger((s)not sure how to write it in english)
But the most annoying thing to me is people who try to solve it(classmates) and the PEEL THE *****ING STICKERS OFF.

Whoa. Peeling stickers? That's extreme, especially since it isn't their cube.

Anybody who is autistic is 100% guaranteed to also be ADD.

And yeah, that's pretty annoying. Wow. Haha.
