Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Well to be fair, you can't expect people with no interest in cubing to know the world record. Do you know the sudoku/speedstacking/Swimming, etc WRs?

I think the name of this thread is not that good. I think I should be "Non cuber reactions" or something.
I see lots of posts where people expect non-cubers to know stuff that only cubers would know.

The really REALLY annoying moment when your mum doesn't believe you can do 3x3 blindfolded although you just did it RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER. She said she saw me peeking the whole time and later remarked that's it's not truly blindfolded unless I don't look at it at the beginning; I should be doing it by touch. WTF. You want me to do it by touch, with textured stickers rather than challenge my memory skills which is MUCH MUCH harder?

Incidentally, my blindfold is the type where it's literally impossible to peek. Oh why didn't I do it under the table instead...

And then, the slightly more hopeful moment when you realise your mum's opinions don't matter the tiniest bit in cubing...

LOL, no offence but your mum must be quite annoying when it comes to cubing. I saw what you said about her on UKO thread as well :P

Also, do it behind your back, that might convince her :P
 
Cubing in class, solving a 5x5.

Teacher, after a bunch of kids stare annoyingly in amazement: "It's just a bunch of pattern identifications and lots, and lots of memorisation of moves."

I also doing K4, so lol.

This is one of the ones which annoy me most :/
 
Been accused of cheating multiple times cause i moved the m slice
Also someone told me when i was solving my megaminx 'That's so much easier than the rubik's cube because you can only turn the outer layers' WTF??
 
Yesterday (I think), I heard on the announcements a kid talking about my cubing club that im making. This is what I heard, "So if you want to join the Rubik Club, go and......"

I had no idea they were gonna say this, and... Rubik Club!? Thought i might as well post that.

Also, theres a kid in some of my classes, and the first day he saw me, he said, "Ya, Ya, Ya, well my brother can do that in like a whole minute, so hah!!!"
Me: "wata legend bro"
Next day from him, "So, its not even that great. My brother can solve it that fast too!"
Me: "shutup bro. Nobody cares"

Oh, and I average like 16 seconds...
 
While doing an average of 12 on my break this girl I work with came up and said, "It's easy to do, once you know all the arithmetic's needed to you just do them and it's done. Plus there's only like 3 of them, it can't be that hard!"

SMH, and I make less than she does, *sigh*
 
At lunch break my friend was cubing with his good old storebought with my old storebought core I used to use (it's awesome), and this guy comes up to scramble it.
He gives it to him. The guy says 'do they break if you drop them?' and chucks it up and it crashes on the floor.
Core splits in two. Pieces everywhere.

My mouth was open in shock. Common sense and respecting others' possessions...?
 
I am actually not made fun of for cubing that much at all. People especially like how I can do 3x3 one handed.

what a dick
it just so happens im doing a report on cubers and how they are treated/stereotyped in society and this is my main story along with many insults on this thread
 
I remember when I was a non-cuber.
I had seen Dan Brown's video at the time, but didn't understand it.
I said to a cuber "You just memorize as bunch of algorithms right?"
Luckily, he was just a begginer so hopefully he didn't look down on me.
