Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

I got this a few days ago:
I was at school cubing with my lanlan 2x2 and a guy walks up to me and picks it up and looks at it, seeing the logo on the yellow side he says "Hah you bought a cheap asian one, you should buy a good rubiks one.

Yeah, I had this problem with my first GuHong lol, he saw the Dayan logo and said pretty much the same thing.

I got the same thing a few days ago. My friend walked up to me and said,"I see that is not rubiks brand. Rubiks is the best!"
:fp

A few days ago in class we got off topic and were talking about things that were impossible. Everyone was just shouting out random stuff and then all of a sudden someone said "solving a rubik's cube". Everyone just kinda stared at her with the "are you stupid" look. The worst part is, in the beginning of the school year I solved my cube for everyone in that class.

 

[buelercuber]

a friend of mine told me this story today:

he is cubing and pops an edge...
father: haha DNF!
he: no its not...
father: *touches edge piece* yes it is.

that's an amazing thing to do to **** off your friend lololololol.

Once at a restaurant, I solved the cube for a big crowd of people, and now when I come back, they recognize me as "the rubik's cube boy".

A comment below Felik's WR solve video;

he is not asian he messes the cube him self so he know the moves to make it all soilds again

I'm scrambling my Pyraminx and a girlfriend ask: "are you scrambling or are your solving".

I'm scrambling my Pyraminx and a girlfriend ask: "are you scrambling or are your solving".

Sounds like a reasonable question, unless you weren't looking at the Pyraminx.

im scrambling and someone just has to say, "he's doing it without even looking!" then i get asked to do a bld solve (which i cant).

and this ,"how do i move the centre piece here?"

Happens to me all the time.

sounds like a pretty good reason to learn to BLD

Decided to read some non-cuber comments on cubing videos, and every other comment seems to be "omg he's not asian".

Never reading comment sections on youtube again.

(My friend grabs my F-II):This one's too loose and crappy. You should buy a new one.
Me:Its supposed to be that way
Friend:No it isn't, the one I got from walmart didn't feel like this.
Me:.........

 

[RubikZz]

I got my new FII and let see them to other people,
Me: "This is my new 3x3."
Other people: "No, the look of you used them a year"
Me: "No, they have bad stickers."

 

[Rpotts]

man I miss the old fII with green cores and good stickers.

I solved it once when I was a kid, then never tried again. (I asked a group of 10; 6 made this claim, 0 knew what an algorithm was.)
Isn't there a move that will solve it no matter what?
I was just spinning it one day and I looked down and it was solved.
My friend can do that in like 10 seconds.
I'd get bored with it once I solved it once.
Aren't there like thousands of combinations on that thing?
What's you're IQ?
I'm too busy with girls for crap like that.
I just take the stickers off.
I just take the cube apart and put it back together.
I did the whole thing but couldn't solve the last side.

Sorry I did so many, but that's the crap I hear. So many LIARS.

*Points to my 2x2*
Person: Hey that thing is so easy!
Me: It's harder than you think.
Person: It's so easy! It's only a 2x2!
*They turn the cube randomly for 5 minutes*
Person: Umm... I just don't feel like solving it.
Me: Right...

They always think 2x2s are extremely easy, and they never solve it.

Twas looking at Feliks' world record video and saw a comment about it being one algorithm he uses over and over again.

I couldn't help but comment back and say "WOWFAIL"

twas = it was
twas ≠ I was

twas = it was

Thank you for the correction.
