What is the worst/most annoying thing in speed cubing?

[cowabunga]

The most annoying thing about speed cubing is finger joint pain...
I hate the limitation it gives.

The existence of 2x2

The existence of people who don't like 2x2 because they say it is too luck-based and ignore really fast averages of 100. Oh and cold hands.

''2x2? That's so easy, even i can do that one!''

When you smash a corner stalk and have to mod a spare corner again

Actually I'd say parents constantly complaining about whether you can get a job with cubing is about twice as worse. Espeially when you're the kind of person who doesn't agree.

accidentally pressing the wrong key in a really good simsolve, cold hands, when a piece pops and I cant find it for ages, joerichárds.

Sanding pieces,too boring and time consuming + leaves a mild pain on the thumbnail after its over.
Cutting nails in regular periods to prevent stickers from getting wretched.
Getting really excited after 2 or 3 consecutive brilliant solves and messing up the next solve completely due to the over excitement.
Assembling and modding big cubes,since it takes too long.
Last but not the least,failing in competitions due to nerves.

Looking at the timer, seeing that the solve will be really good and then screwing up

I hate it when people hate on parts of cubing itself.

I hate it when people hate on people hating parts of cube itself and this thread isn't about what you hate, it's about what you find annoying in speed cubing.

throwing up after orangina.

When my white Zhanchi gets that stuff between the edge piece halves and I have to pull apart every edge piece to wipe it out.

 

[mDiPalma]

12 bad edges

 

[Czery]

When i leave my 5x5 outside and somebody steals a tredge while I'm not looking.

 

[HEART]

Oh man i thought i was the only one D: I have that stuff in both of my guhongs, i think it's a collection of dead skin, and dust.

-Failing on the last solve of a potentially amazing average due to nerves
-Pops
-Non Cubers
-Pops
-Realizing you're in a slump and not getting any faster
-Cold hands
-The feeling of a cube that hasn't been lubed in months
-Pops
-POPS.

Wanting to switch methods but not wanting to learn algs

 

[RajoChowdo]

1.People turning one side of a cube, turning it back and saying they solved it:fp
2.When you try everything you can to get faster but you still dont
3.Availability to competitions. I live in bahrain in the middle east and i am probably the fastest cuber here cus 1. no competitions 2.Almost no cubers(none that i know at least)

 

[hcfong]

Dan Brown - seriously, I first got into cubing a couple of years ago, but when I watched his tutorial, I thought it was so annoying that I quit cubing until 2 years ago,

 

[WBCube]

ALL ROUX SOLVERS

I'm joking, but I really hate corner twists. You can barely tell most of the time when you get one, it's awful

 

[That70sShowDude]

When I get a pop, no matter how many pieces come out, one seems to go into another dimension.
