For some reason I have an irrational hate towards it.

This happened at school:
Kid: (Something about a "Pyramix")
Me: You're a non-cuber.
Kid's friend: NO! WHY YOU BEING SO MEAN?! STOP BEING SO MEAN!
This happened on the bus:
Kid: Can I see your Rubik's?
This also happened at school:
Me: (brings cubes)
Almost everyone in my class: (walks to me and then uses my puzzles without my permission)

A lot of the time, I get people telling me to go on a talent show, under the idea that I "might be the best in the world"
I average 18

Back when I was sub 40, mom and dad used to say, "YAYYYY!!! You broke the world record "for every occasional sub 30 I used to get at the time.
When I told them about Yusheng Du they said, "It is a fake solve, people do anything to get famous"

That happens to me all the time. But not at school. If I have visitors at home and there is a cube sitting around somewhere. They will just pick it up and start turning like crazy until they break it. Sometimes in public, someone will just grab it out of my hands in the middle of a solve and try to turn as fast as me and then end up breaking it.

I learnt a lesson today:
Never do BLD in public or in front of friends. Lol

They snatched my cube in the middle of an execution. I was blindfolded.

I saw someone say to my 14 second solve, "Wow, you're so slow, I can solve it in like 3 seconds". Its either really rude or something like "Wow, is that the world record?". I have to say I prefer the second person.

Non-cubers calling it a kid's toy whereas I am scientifically trying to invent methods and algsets with the 3x3. They still think its just a magic trick thing.

I saw this vid on YT where some famous Indian actor (I do not wish to name him) was on a talk show. The host handed him a Rubik's cube and said:
"Sir can you do it? They say that your math has to be good for it"
(Literal translation from Hindi)
Cubers went crazy in the comments lol
But the actor did manage to solve it in under a minute with beginner's method tho.

They'll understand once they learn the beginner's method

They get super proud of themselves after learning LBL, and say why am I doing cubing a lot, while its just one LBL trick, no point in wasting time.
They roll their eyes, when I say about advanced methods like CFOP,Roux and 3-style.

One example of these types of noncubers is my li'l brother. He always mocks me while I'm cubing.
Lol when I started cubing, I thought that LBL itself is CFOP and I thought that Feliks used LBL. I was proved wrong when J Perm showed a fast CFOP example solve with F2L in his method comparison video.
I couldn't even understand what comms are as a beginner. Now I can solve a cube using comms easily (Ofc not blindfolded lol)

Imagine the amount of effort it will take to explain a non-cuber what 5-style is.
Even seasoned speedcubers have mistake understanding that algset.
For beginner's LBL = god's algorithm.

5 style is just 3 style but instead of 3 cycles, it is 5 cycles right ?
(Lol correct me if I'm wrong)
I know the effort needed to explain what comms are to a total noncuber
