My classmates think I'm so smart because I can solve the rubiks cube but they're always asking 'so you're not in all honour classes why?' -.-

This has been asked of me on multiple occasions.
When a non-cuber is attempting to solve half a side, they point to a corner... then an edge... and ask how to switch them. lol

As I solve a 5x5 in calculus:
Do you use the algorithm?
Have you seen the one with 8? It's a thousand times harder. The one with 10 is ten thousand times harder. Have you seen the circle? It's really hard, it has like ten sides (I think he means a megaminx, I have no idea about the other ones.)

Once, on a day that I brought multiple cubes to school, a non-cuber approached me during class and said he could solve the cube. So I scrambled it, gave it to him, and expected him to give up after a while. But later during class, he gave the cube back solved...I was wondering how he did it...but it turns out he took another one of my cubes that was solved and gave it to me.

I was afraid he peeled the stickers! I would never leave a cube with a classmate unattended.

Not the best place to put this, but I don't think it deserves it's own thread:
When non cubers realize I can solve a cube: woah! That's so cool, how'd you do that?
When non cubers realize how often I solve a cube: don't you ever get bored?? You're such a nerd.

One time, some jerk on Twitter took a jab at my girlfriend, asking "why does she always have a rubix cube?" and coming to the conclusion "she doesn't have a boyfriend?".
...
OK, first of all, it's not "RubiXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX". It's "Rubik's".
Second, cubing is fun.
Third, she DOES in fact have a boyfriend. And guess who it is? points to self

Me: *solving a SS 7x7*
Person 1: Is that a diamond shape, or cube shape?

I love how my friends are all "in" to cubing now. Almost a year ago, I learned how to solve a 3x3. Since then I have taught maybe 15 people how to solve cubes, and recently two of my best friends! It's good to see people who are legitimately interested in learning to cube. And most of my non-cubing friends pretty much know all cubing lingo. 
I still get strange reactions from strangers. My project at the county science fair was about Rubik's Cubes, and I brought my 3x3 to the awards ceremony. This one woman kept on making me solve it. I kinda felt like a trained monkey, so I said, "I can do other stuff, too..." and she walked away. LOL.

This article is really old and this could probably go on the Rubik's Cube Sightings in the Media thread, but it is SUCH a darndest thing that I have to share it.

I am honestly upset that these people believe that "there is some kid training on an iPhone, trying to beat the record right now and when they eventually beat the record, all they have to do is take a screenshot of their record setting time on the app and we’ll make sure it gets to the right people." A: Things MUST be done at competitions. B: They must be done on an actual cube. I know we all know this, but I wish the general public would check the WCA before making these claims.

Where is that Green-Blue Piece?
How could I swap these two pieces? (Points to a edge and a corner piece)

I have had pretty dumb experiences like:
"I got ONE side"
"Your Rubik's cube is broken" (Ghost Cube)
"My record is 2 seconds"
"I used to know how to solve those" (I ask them the first step to their method and they don't know)
"Can you teach me in under 10 minutes?"
"Why can't you move the centers?"
"Wow! That Rubik's cube is fat!" (4x4)

If I had a ghost cube I wouldn't want to use it near non-cubers...
They're good at breaking a lot of puzzles.

Yeah I know my friend grabs my cubes and sais, 'Hey it's my turn' explosion and carry on mucking it up as they call it.
The most stupid thing someone did is pop an edge out and chuck it on the floor and try to snap it.

"I went to a cubing competition."
"Ermagawsh did you win?????"
No, this isn't 2003.

My colleagues struggle to believe that even if I got a PB on every solve I'd be lucky to get through a first round.

Something that I really hate
Okay, so I'm not usually one to pick on things that non-cubers say because non-cubers don't spend 2341234678123471234 hours a day cubing, but this is just something that gets me kind of angry now. I don't know why, but it's really annoying. People always ask blindsolvers how they know if it's done. They see you looking at the cube and everything, but they ask that. I guess they just think you're doing the same thing over and over again. Soooo here's the question of the day: how many times have you gotten this and am I the only one that get's annoyed by it?
