Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

the cheating one annoys me, but most of the people I cube around understand it now :)

Problem is they always flip the edge and twist the corners whenever I give them it for a few seconds xD
 
one that i get all the time that gets old is when my cube pops (guhong v1, u know how those will pop :P) or when i'm taking it apart, anybody around me is all like "OH, YOU BROKE IT!! HAHAHA!!" it gets so annoying.
 
I was playing with my gear cube at school at lunch time sitting with my friends a teacher walks up to me and says to that it is nerdy ( he wasn't at school the day Skyrim came out). I was just thinking what the hell is he thinking. Although another time I was getting something out of my bag and this girl sees my gear cube and picks it up and starts turning and she was amazed by it so yeah screw you teacher. My most recent experience cubing at school was on the bus coming from sport I was sitting up the back in the only free seat all these girls were sitting all around me just watching mensolve my megaminx 3x3x3 super cube they were all amazed while some of my friends were sittinga couple of seats ahead and were laughing because they thought the girls were staring at something on my face.
 
From the Speedcubing limit thread:

i think speedstackers should take over the magic and mastermagic as events, as it fits their niveau.

Made me remember a conversation. I told a friend about speedcubing, he told me how boring it is, cause it's always the same.
Later we talked about fingersports in general, he said he finds speedstacking and penspinning cool. I said I don't like it, also because it is alys the same thing.
Then he told me "No, it is not the same!". I think I can't get him away from the thought, that speedcubing is just making stupid moves that always solve the cube :/
 
Wow you guys get alot of shitty responses.. Only bad response I ever had was a 12yo kid behind me on the bus telling his friend that i did the same moves everytime (cuz i use alot of Tperms cuz i'm only on 2look OLL/PLL).

Most of the responses I get is like 'wow, are you really smart or is there a system" / "Wow, how many years of practice do you have" / "Are you practicing for the world record? ö ) / "Did you learn that by yourself" / "When i was a kid i was never able to do that". Oh and awkward stares when you look up after a solve. People notice you caught them looking at you and look away really fast... I do get the cute girl smiling after a solve from time to time tho ^^
 
People don't realise how much we concentrate during the solve.
Also they think telling you "10 seconds is still ridiculously fast" or something whenever you get a bad solve actually makes you feel better. But I forgive the second one.

true, there are a couple cute girls that crowd around me while i cube, and a lot of people think it's cool, but then there are also the jerks.
 
Recently, go just plainly insulted in the metro. Guys going like "what the hell, a f***kn geek, you must have no life and all" But then again, get some cool stuff as well
- People who want to scramble it for me
- The occasional smile from THE cute girl.
- "Yeah, I used to know how to unstick the stickers" etc etc
 
Yet another fun trick to entertain the non cubers, this one with a 5x5: do the superflip pattern. tell them that its all messed up. undo the pattern, usually i can do that in like 40-50 sec, which even a non cuber can tell is fast. watch them be amazed.
