Worst feeling ever while solving?

[Neroflux]

when i jam the spacebar down, only to realize some dude messaged me on msn.

i always hate it if there is no corner in the U layer while solving F2L. you always have to look with a "x" which color is on the bottom.

I soo agree with you. I absolutely hate that

when you get an insane lock and throw your cube on the ground only to spend the next couple days trying to find all the pieces of your broken core (storebought cube i wouldnt do that with my diy)

 

[Lord Voldemort]

when you do one of the fastest solves that you've ever done, so fast that you get this incredible adrenaline rush of a new PB, with flawless execution and lookahead...

and you look up to see the effects of the spacebar on a webpage.

I completely agree...
I once had like a 17.xx (my current PB is 18.80, but this was like last week) and then I press space, feeling all happy, and guess what? My wireless keyboard decided to run out of batteries or something for the moment... (it worked after pressing it like 5 times)

There are a couple of times when coming to finishing the cube, my fingers accidentally messed the cube up (because I was soo rushing over the time!). I just hate it when that happens^

the worst feeling was tonight, when I was downstairs and my uncle switched the STICKERS on my 2x2 eastsheen. now I have to replace the green and blue sides

Remember,
"You peel off my stickers, I peel off your arm. "

Also, I hate it when I'm doing a PLL or something and my grip on the cube turns the E-layer ever so slightly that the cube locks up, pops, and the time is horrible (DNF).

When you are listening to music and you have the best 5x5 solve underway, and then you hear

"It's a small world after all.... It's a SMALll world after all....IT"S A SMALL WORRLD AFTRE ALLL!!! its a small small world"

and you just lose your motivation.

The first time through I read that "massaged" instead of "messaged" and laughed so hard at my fail.

Probably when I do have one of those perfect F2L's and realize that I inserted a pair wrong at last minute and end up with a terrible time.

I lol'd so hard, I peed a little.

When I'm so close to a PB, get a great F2L, awesome OLL, but then I get a HORRIBLE lockup on the PLL, and then a pop.

Good for you you held it in

Things that are bad for me when solving is when on the laggiest computer of all which is my dads, I start teh timer by pressing space bar and because the computer is so laggy it's taking me about 8 minutes to type this, the timer doesnt start :fp even though I'm going through a good solve

Getting an awesome solve, almost sub 20, but then: an N perm! The thing is, I don't know my N perms! It ended up just being an average time.

 

[janelle]

A lot of these things happen to me too. XD But the worst for me are-
-Getting an easy F2L then I get all excited and my fingers start to fidget and shake and the cube slips or I lose control of it. Also not knowing the PLL.
-When you think you have a good time and look up to check but come to realize the timer didn't start.
-Getting good times for an avg of 5 but other really bad times which raises your avg alot.

 

[HASH-CUBE]

you stop the timer on the PC to realize it just started inspection

and...

during an awesome solve, your phone rings! and its a very important call for you

 

[blade740]

F PERM. NUFF SAID.

 

[Lofty]

I didn't read all these posts but I took this more literally.
The worst feeling is when either your hands and/or finger joints hurt from doing too many solves or when your hand will no longer move.

 

[ManasijV]

You do sub 30 memo and cube pops during execution...

"Oh crap, I made my cross on the wrong side."

thats it for me, i'll be just about to start the last layer and suddenly notice 2 of my cross colours are swapped.. usually blue and green. That wrecked a time on one of my solves at the UK open.

This often happens to me and it is always blue and green.
When I am solving, I usually have red facing towards me. When doing cube rotations and orange is facing me, I change to "reverse mode". It's just my way of thinking. I think it helps me know where things are better.

Because blue and green are on the mental left and right sides, maybe that is why I often mix them up.

Drives me crazy...
