Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

i brought my cubes to school several times, they're all amazed that i can solve it, some even want to learn, I'm teaching 2, one's got hit own cube and i taught him fingertricks, while the other one is doing keyhole, neither can do the LL yet, haven't taught them that.
 
I was cubing outside my house and my friend came up to me.
My friend:"So what's your record for that?"
Me:"15.81 seconds."
My friend:"Wow! What color did you do(as in what side did I solve)?"
Me:"Ummm...I solved the whole cube."
 
When I was solving a cube at the airport there was a lady next to me. I solved it in like 28 seconds or so and she said "Come work at my office we need smart people." and walked away.
 
Team solve with my friend, (he doesn't know full CMLL, nor the same set as me [I use different sets depending on EO anyway], so I call out the notation for CMLL).

Guy comes up to us and says "you know, it would be much faster to solve it on your own. You may think two brains is better than one but they think differe.... Blah blah blah"

We look at him. I say: "we are doing a team solve."
He looks embarrassed and walks away and then I feel a little guilty...
 
Oh man, non-cubers.
I have a few really stupid stories. x)

One of my friends was talking to one of her friends whom I don't know, and she mentioned that I cube. He replied, "What is she a lesbian?" Apparently, his logic was that if I cube that means I stay in the house all day doing online, and so I am incapable of getting a boyfriend and therefore I am lesbian. o_O

One of my friends borrowed my cube for a few minutes and attempted to try and solve it but failed miserably. So I told him that the easiest way for him to learn would be to find a video on youtube and learn it from there. So he find Yu Nakajima's video of him solving it in around 6 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI_zjWssn2g and tells me that he watched, but still can't solve it. Well duh!

The last story's just silly and I thought I'd post it anyway :P My friends thought it would be very amusing to go out and buy a cube that has different sex positions on each side, and they gave it to me as a present. xDDD We then made amusing jokes about how I would lube that cube :P

Lol. I showed my friend Feliks' 5.66 single and after watching it, there was a moment's pause, and he said:

"I still don't get it"

xD

xDDD We should use that to troll the sort of people who say they peel off the stickers. Say that you'll teach them how to solve the cube, show them a video of a really fast solve and expect them to get it...
