Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Finished solving my 3x3 in Spanish yesterday. A girl said, "That was some G ****." in a voice of pure astonishment. I solved it yesterday in English too and my teacher wanted me to show her but we ran out of time so I did it today. When I finished she gave me a copy of The Pursuit Of Happiness and said I'm just like Chris Gardner. I gave her Feliks Zemdegs' YouTube channel lol

so one of my friends who is pretty familiar with a rubiks cube scrambles my D-II wich is really lose and this other kid shows up and is all
"let me scramble it" he tries to scramble it really fast and it pops 2 edges and 3 corners and he sets the cube down and runs away
another thing is when some kid grabs my D-II or ghost hand and turns a corner or yanks the corner out when the cube isnt at a 45
if i move im for sure not bringing my cubes to school unless theres some kids who know how to speedsolve

Anyone seen this?

Non-cuber asks to scramble puzzle. Proceeds to do a series of R R' R2 and L L, and L2 moves by placing there palms flat on the cube and elbow twisting? I get nervous every time.

I don't think that all too many cubers haven't experienced this...

My pet peeve is people asking to see my XCube when I'm solving it at school. I always tell them to be careful with it and to make sure they don't force it. I have it set pretty tight and its never ever once popped while speedsolving it. Everytime I give it to someone it always pops, no matter who I give it to. Even both of my friends who are decently fast at speedsolving pop it all the time. So everytime someone asks me to try it, I'm always scared to hand it over to them. Especially the ones who don't understand the mechanism of the puzzle give me weird looks as if I'm protecting something holy or sacred. The thing is: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. POPPING IT CAN LEAD TO AN EXPLOSION OF 9000 PIECES. SO STOP ELBOW TWISTING IT FOR GOD SAKE.

It's starting to get more and more annoying when people do the R R' thing. I get it like 3 times a day.

Also someone popped my octahedron on the bus. I had to search for the piece for like 10 minutes.

 

[pi.cubed]

I was playing the cube app on my iPod in the school bus, and heard someone behind me say "Aw he's trying to solve the Rubik's cube".
Another person then said "There's this guy who can do it in 40 seconds. He's like 20 years old. It's so fast"
Then the first person said "There is a guy at our school who can do it in 30 seconds"
A third person said "Luke [a student at my school] can do one side with his eyes closed. It's awesome."
I just sat there, half laughing, half angry.

You should totally bring in your cube, and show them how fast you can do it.

You should solve with blue on top today! Cheer India at the world cup semis!

The doctor asked me how I got into cubing and how I got so good at it, to which he replied "Practice, practice, practice."

I wanna go back to that hospital. Non-cuber of the year.

I changed by cube color from dark blue to light blue! Go India!

 

[Cuber5434]

(while looking at my 5x5) is that, like, a 9x9?!?!

 

[Cuber5434]

I got one layer!!! Look!! i did one layer!!!! ( cross isn't done, corners are in wrong places)

 

[cuberr]

Rove McManus: Have you ever solved a Rubik’s cube?
Daniel Radcliffe: No, never, but you can..you can peel the squares off and stick them on.

I'm surprised this hasn't turned up yet, although TBH I haven't really read through all 200+ pages...
Whenever I practice my 2x2 solves after practicing 3x3, there is always AT LEAST one person that says "Wow, look. A 2x2. That's soooooo easy." I ask them if they want to try. 0% of people have actually solved it
