Whats the worst things in cubing for you?

[Paul Landers]

I posted something something like this, and wanted to know whats the worst things in cubing for you?

I think getting DNFs and +2's fit into this category. Also, spending money on cubes that suck "5x5 Rubik's Brand."

Overhyping yourself for an event and failing miserably.

I'm hoping for a sub 4 average at my next comp but I'm probably going to fail horribly.

I am hoping for sub 2.8 but I will probably get like a 3.9 avg

Three things:

1. My own motivation is probably the one thing holding me back from getting faster; speedsolving is so much fun, but I simply don't push myself as much as I should or would like to. I'm trying to cube more often, but my lack thereof is one of the worst things for me.

2. I also specifically don't like non-cubers who are convinced that cubers are "cheating." That's the only thing of that nature that grinds my gears. x_x

3. Feet

 

[Mastermind2368]

Cubers who mix up ZZ with ZBLL.

 

[Alex B71]

People who get themselves stuck on the idea that the method they use is the statistically better method.

I use a variant of CFOP and LBL. It's gotten me down to sub 20. I haven't been motivated to learn new PLL algs, even though I need one more to satisfy myself.

I feel your pain.

Scrambling.

 

[GenTheSnail]

1. People who hate on events/methods

2. Failing my main events in comp

3. 10.01-esque solves/averages

4. Last-step skips but with a terrible first-step

5. When a comp is just far away enough for it not to be worth it, or if I have a TF/XC meet the same day

6. That Feet is the only event excluded from US Nats 2 years in a row, not accompanied other not popular events

Also, spending money on cubes that suck "5x5 Rubik's Brand."

yeah I can go with that. There's a handful of cubes I've bought I regret because they're not usuable.

The Rubiks 5x5 is one of them. It barely turns.

I really agree to that and as a younger cuber I can relate to it myself. People saying your method is better in every ways... In some aspects, it's kind of like racism, you know?

EDIT: OKAY MAYBE NOT
