YOUR Cubing Pet Peeves

[2x2MasterYT]

I was just thinking about my cubing pet peeves earlier, and I thought to make this thread.

My Biggest cubing pet peeve is when YouCubers recon solves and scrambles them to be on white cross, IDK why but it is so annoying for me

Mine is when i let one of my friends play with my cubes and they twist a corner or use the cube really roughly. Once i let a girl use my mgc elite and she broke it

 

[2x2MasterYT]

Also one for me.


When I get a Zperm on skewb

You could learn full sarah advanced so you don't get h and z perm at all, just 136 algs that are sledges and hedges

Was her name Bilal Mourad by chance?

That's @OtaMota bro

That's @OtaMota bro

Yes that’s the point of the joke, he’s broken literally every 2x2 he’s owned

1. When I actually try to use real big cube scrambles and found out I misscrambled.
2. When I do a solve and it turns out the timer didnt start.

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

When people yell at me for cubing in class when they're watching football plays on YT

 

[CubeLite]

1. When I have to scramble big cubes and Megaminx
2. When my mother says that I cubed way to much, but I didn't even cubed for 1 hour that day

 

[caleb_g]

when a slower cuber thinks that it's torture for me to watch them because they're slower... like no i find it really interesting lol, i see enough fast solves i wanna see more slow solves and their thought processes

 

[randomness...]

my pet peeve is having a bad looking cube
the fire treated valk is the perfect example, I don't care how well it turns, if it isn't Smoove I don't like to use it

 

[precompsubwr]

When some random 6 year old kid scrambles all of my cubes and begs me to solve them all while singing skibidi toilet (even worse when they scramble both of my 7x7s)

 

[Isabellikesmaths]

People asking me what the fastest I've ever done it is, and then expecting me to match that time on the spot with no warm up with their crusty Rubik's brand.

1. When judges solve during your solve (or a special case where my judge was reassembling a 3x3 and it exploded over the entire station lol).

2. People asking to see your cube then instantly dropping it as though they've never held a 3D object.

3. Non-cubers going out of their way to prove that cubing is actually just an illusion that requires no skill regardless of how much you explain the actual process. Like one time someone watched me solve a 5x5 amd said things throughout my entire solve like "No no no he's doing the exact same moves over and over again" (I most certainly was not). Bro FIRMLY did not believe that different scrambles had different solutions.

4. My cubes exiting the scrambling station covered in grease or feeling like a completely different puzzle.

5. People screaming when they get a good time(or sometimes a bad time for them) next to you (I totally get being excited and celebrating, but I have issues with sudden loud noises right next to me). If I know I'm next to someone who frequently does that, I wait until they're finished to begin inspection.

6. 3x3 OH

2. When I do a solve and it turns out the timer didnt start.

3. When you can't hear ANYTHING in the waiting area at comps, so you don't know when you're being called up.
4. piece pops.
5. When non-cubers talk about how easy it is to cheat in comp like bro do you think the delegates are idiots smh.

 

[FenTheGoat]

1. People who’ve never solved a cube who think you’re slow
2. Cubers with a superiority complex
3. New people on speedsolving that post 763 threads on their first day on the forums (it’s not that bad, but it’s annoying)
4. Videos titled “50 things non-cubers say” or something like that that just come up with the most random things to fill the 50 slots
5. 90% of cubing yt shorts
6. 50% of people under the age of 12 at comps (I’m sorry youngens on this site, kids are annoying)
7. People that act like cubing is the most important thing in the world and get mad at non-cubers for not understanding cubing
8. People who spam the profile section with videos that don’t relate to cubing AHEM

yay I'm 12

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

Here’s my top ones:
1. When non-cubers say, “Let me scramble it.” And just do 5 turns or smth.
2. When non-cubers take my cubes and do something stupid, my friend twisted the anchor corner of my WeiPo 2x2 and ruined it.
3. When I say average like 22 seconds for example, and someone says, “that’s fast” when it’s actually slow.
4. When non-cubers think stupid YT cubing shorts are funny or cool (CFS especially)
5. When non-cubers say, “I’ll show you a Rubik’s cube trick” and does the stupid 2 moves thing and fails (because it isn’t solved)
6. When I go to someone’s house and look for a cube, and of course it’s a crusty dusty musty Rubik’s brand
