When I got my first cube (a stickerless), I thought it was a Dayan Zhanchi. Two years later, I showed my "Zhanchi" to a friend, who said it looked like a Guhong. Turns out that friend was right.
Noobiest thing you've done?

I didn't participate in skewb for my first comp because I thought 15 second average was too slow.
Next comp: 15 second pyra average lol

Telling a delegate that a corner twist was "just a +2" during finals of my first comp... and promptly being told "No. DNF." Sorry Janelle, I tried!

I once misjudged the solution for a skewb layer and ended up doing an eight move layer in around 3 seconds. Funny thing is that I actually found the optimal solution by accident, because I got an LL skip.

At my first and so far only competition, I started solving before the timer was ready, resulting in a DNF. It was the easiest cross of course, and I even planned my first pair, which was amazing for me at the time. Still is, but not as much.

Back in the day, you lubricated either with vaseline or CRC...I had neither so I lubricated my rubik's brand cube with a banana. It worked at the moment, but the next day it was very sticky. You noobs have nothing on me

Peeled the banana, took off the top layer of the cube, rubbed the inside contents with the banana.

Should have used ketchup. Mats Valk recommends it

Getting two +2s in a row on Pyraminx for starting the timer with my palms instead of fingertips even though it wasn't even my first comp.
Today: had probably my fastest f2l ever, i unknowingly multislotted 2 of the slots, I'd guess about 8-9 seconds going into OLL, where i had the T ( F R U R' U' F') orientation, then an easy J(b) perm. I expected a new PB. I looked up andsaw that my timer hadn't started, the spacebar had opened a dropdown menu. RAGE QUIT

The worst thing I've probably done was at my first and only competition so far. I got a 20 sec 2x2 solve. (Facepalm) . And I got like 3 +2s in the 2x2 stage too

Even worse, is that I had the fastest 2x2 single in the whole competition
