Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[CharlesOBlack]

Spoiler

I have a best friend, I wouldn't go as far to say my cube is my best friend xD Comes pretty close though

People always tell me, "Whoa! You know the code for the Rubix's (note misspelling) cube!"

I have actually lost a lot of friends because I cube... They all think it is stupid and immature but I will never quit becuase they are just ignorant and do not want to devote the time to learn.

I'm sad to hear it.
may your cube be your best friend.

My cube is a Weighted Companion Cube. Does that count?

on-topic: At a comp I went to, my sister solved in like 9"56' (she was nervous) using Roux. Later on, I heard the following:

Woman: Actually, they only learn a bunch of algorithms to solve one side. After that, it's easy. Didn't you see how long the little girl took to solve one side?

[ignorance is fine (sometimes), but being ignorant and feigning knowledge is just shitty]

BE CAREFUL

fix'd

So like one time I saw this museum curator and he was all like "ITS THE CUBE OF RUBIK" and then this Egyptian pharaoh was all like "WOAHHHH"

True story.

I will turn you to dust if you defy me!!!

I heard someone say that they solved all sides cept one...yea, one side is scrambled but all the others are solved? ._. *facepalm*

 

[Cool Frog]

i was on the plane cubing and the flight assistant was like "can you solve that big one (points at 5x5)"
Me:"totally"
Him: "you must have good memory"
Me: "not good memory"
Him:"then how do you do it?"
I didn't have a good answer.... =(

When I was at Cameron's house, we went to eat at In N Out, we attratced a crowd (duh), and a man actualy stopped to ask questions.
Actually, he was asking intelligent questions, instead of the usual "I PEEL TEH STICKAZ"

Yeah lol, dont we all hate that:

1- I peel the stickers
2- I take it apart and make it back in solved state
3- I managed to solve 4 sides but thats the farthest i got (epic failure of nonsense and lack of honesty.)

those are the 3 mos common lame excuses i get... why doesnt anyone simply say: oh wow...

I can't stand it either when people see me with cubes and are like "Oh I peel the stickers." How do I respond to that? "Oh, well I'm actually smart, so I just solve it."

 

[musicninja17]

The 'peel the stickers off' comment pisses me off beyond belief.

 

[Deleted member 2864]

I don't like being known as the cube guy too. -.- Mostly because I find it leads to very awkward conversations that go nowhere because I never feel like answering what an algorithm is or how I solve it.

I no longer want to be Asian. Every time someone sees me doing something "good" it's always "Asian" "You're Asian" "He's Asian". I mean, it used to be funny, now it's being overdone.

So um... like just after I won 2x2 at UK open, the headteacher of my school said to me "I just peel the labels off"

wtf :fp

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

A girl called me a prodigy.

 

[Andrew Ricci]

"Your cube must be broken." *Fails At solving* "Yep, it's broken."

 

[ben1996123]

"I bet you cant do it in under a minute"

"I bet I can" (i averaged like 30 at this time)

"ok, let me time you, ill count"

*starts counting and i have no inspection*

"1 2 3"

by this time, about 1 second has passed

"4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20"

about 4 seconds have passed

"21 22.....57 58 59 OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU DIDNT DO IT!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAH"

by this time, about 15 seconds have passed

why the hell cant people count seconds properly

Because they like proving "smart people" wrong.
People think we're smart because we solve cubes.
We may be smart because of other causes, but cube-solving isn't on my list.

"I can solve it just wait." (goes into a room) 5 min. later. "Look I solved it." and blue is next to green.

I'm the only cuber in my family so I read this and emerged from my room laughing hysterically and when everyone asked what was so funny I told them and nobody got it. They said I've hit a new low

Met this kid at my church who can get the F2L. He just hasn't memo'd the LL algs.
