Haha! Sub20*

Harris Chan's beautiful turning style aside, his inspection routine is awesome. Start standing up, then sit with good posture, put hands on timer, slump, remove hands from timer.
He does it every solve here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbKL04rn1X0

He doesn't always do the stand->sit thing, but the slump is universal.

Italians: slam table after every solve in competition

 

[uberCuber]

Myself: Scramble cube. Begin to inspect cube. This cross is bad, so I'm not even gonna begin to decide what to do with it. Start timer without a clue what I should be doing. sup-20. ragequit for ~30 seconds. Restart process.

EDIT: no, actually not even just on bad cross. Just in general. Scramble cube. Inspect for 3 seconds. Begin.

Henrik Buus Aagaard on magic:
Pick up magic, lift elbows high and do the funky chicken dance, slam magic down, stop timer, sub1.

Frank doing OH:
Start timer, do insane f2l, decide on one of three possible endings:
1: notice a resently learned ZBLL case but take 10 seconds doing it...
2: Easy last layer, but pop on the last alg...
3: Everything goes perfectly, possible sub10 solve, but timer shows 0.21 (DNF)

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
I may try that tomorrow.

 

[EricReese]

Ryan Reese- Get sub 14 averages all the time at home, prays just for a sub 15 average in comp then ends up getting 2 rounds with 19 second averages and wants to ragequit because people think he is lying about his times, then redirects people asking about his times to me to prove that hes not lying.

 

[Xnx]

Breandan:
Do the PLL time attack instead of legitimate solve. "At least it was sub-33".
