Cubing Embarrassment Thread

[RubiksMathMaster]

Since there is an " Accomplishment Thread", I thought it would be a good idea to have a "Cubing Embarrassment Thread".

Basically you say the most embarrassing thing that happened to you while cubing or anything related.

The most embarrassing thing that happened to me while i was cubing was when i was on PLL in a big gathering, my cube just exploded...

Its always embarrassing for me to explain speedcubing to people, but nothing has happened while actually cubing.

Someone was watching my videos for 2 weeks before they realized that I was something.

Cubing. Get a T perm

"hey you look at this I will finish with my eyes closed"
*they look*
*execute*
"ha!"
*cube is unfinished*
Oops, messed up. *walks away*

That day I learned to never do that again. Lol. Being a newbie was fun for a while.

Oh man. Well, here's my most embarrassing cubing trauma.

I had just finished making my 3x3x5 extended cube & my family & I wanted to go see, Up, in 3D. Well we got there just before the theater opened so there was a line into the lobby. I had brought my 3x3x5 because I wanted to just turn it while watching the movie. Now, we were on a nice hard tile floor... I bet you can guess what happens next... Somehow, the cube slipped from my hands & down, down, down it went...

SMASH!!!

About 3/4th's of the glued pieces broke off! & boy did it smash loud in the small, echoy, lobby area! In front of everyone there in line! Now, imagine you were one of those people. Here you see some kid drop something something & it smashes all over the place. & he says it's some of kind of Rubik's Cube. Just think of all the crazy thoughts that when through their minds!

So I had to pick up all the pieces & put them in my coat pocket. Ugh, I never want to go through that again!

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Hm, makes me think about Tom van der Zanden. He had exactly the same thing on our way to WC, but then with a 3x4x5 :/

 

[Novriil]

I solved a pyraminx in TV and it took me 19 SEC!!! OMFG!
Also 3x3 in 30 sec FAIL!

 

[Rook]

I messed up 2 G-Perms in 1 solve while I was solving the cube in front of my class :fp I messed up the U's with the u's since I only recently learned those perms back then.

Also, A center piece broke off while I was practicing my PLL's and the whole blue face's pieces flew everywhere. Fortunately only my brother was around.

I was on the bus today and i let a friend play with my type and and he always pops it, he popped it the peces flew around the bus, it has 70 kids on it

 

[AREScuber]

i was letting my friend scramble the cube in a group. it was a type a and it was very loose and s of course the cube pops. but not just like one peice. it was a pop where like every piece pops of at the same time. And the kid just drop the cube on the floor and walked away. then i had to pick up all 21 pieces in front of the group as they were all waiting expectantly.

Did this happen to be peer group? If it did, who are your leaders?

no this happened at my camp. but im a sophmore and my peer group leaders last year were these two junior (now senior) girls and campbell the senior last year. I know that isn't very clear

My most embarrassing cubing moment was the time that I saw a thread about embarrassing cubing moments.

Over 18's can highlight:
Now can a mod please close this thread before people start making "your most exciting cubing moment thread" and "your best anal sex ever thread" and so on... I hope you get the idea.
