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

[Robert-Y]

Yeah I would just say an EPLL skip.

You might get R U R' U R U2 R' for your LL, but if I got that I wouldn't say ZBLL, I'd just say I did R U R' U R U2 R' for my LL and perhaps anticipated the skip. It IS of course ZBLL, I'm not denying this, but it's nothing special...

 

[Yes We Can!]

Yeah, of course. I'd just call that a skip or something, too. I was thinking about something like R' U R2 D r' U2 r D' R2' U' R. But I get your point

"Teraminx pops where pieces go inside the cube" LOL. I haven't stickered mine yet but this sounds pretty bad.

 

[KrazyCube]

When you are on PB pace and a piece pops

 

[o2gulo]

When you want to have new puzzles but don't have the money....

Also, when you want to improve your times in 3x3 but too lazy to learn full OLL and PLL (I only use 4LLL) because it's too many. and
Basically, when you lost track when doing your F2L ugh,

 

[Noahaha]

When you hate doing 4BLDs because you always mess up by two or three centers, but you also hate doing sighted 4BLDs because if you're going to spend that much time on 4BLD, you might as well actually do a solve, but then that solve is a DNF and you decide to stick to 3BLD, but then you DNF all your 3BLDs and try a 5BLD but give up halfway through memo and then practice 4x4 sighted and it's a lot more relaxing but then you get mad at yourself for not practicing BLD.

Is that just me? nvm.

Solving pseudo blocks off by a quarter turn, and MGLS

Parents who think cubing is a total waste of time.

But it is?

So is life, from a certain point of view.

"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless."

1. going over your method sub-steps, realizing that you should be able to average sub11, then constantly get 15s averages.

2. Being stopped in the middle of a nice 5x5x5bld solve, because the train personel wants to see your ticket.

This whole deal about 'speed' and everyone's interpretation of 'speed'

Why not Fastcubing or Quickcubing? Because I'm a Slowcuber.

I 2nd this!

when I mess up on 2x2 pseudolayer skip scrambles.

 

[JasonK]

Getting inspection wrong, especially in puzzles where inspection is the most important part of the solve...

 

[brandbest1]

messing up an extremely lucky solve, or popping on a lucky solve, like i always do.

 

[Kirjava]

People saying that you should avoid getting a good cube.

 

[SketchCuber]

When your in the middle of a really good solve, then you look up and see that the timer is not running. :fp

 

[Johan444]

when u realise that u dont make effort to change ur f2l algs and keep on using ur suboptimal ones

 

[AdrenalineKick]

Considering a 3x3 solve under 1 minute as good, and struggling to improve

 

[o2gulo]

Losing appetite for solving when all of your 3x3 locks up every single time and too lazy to clean/retension/lube it.
When you forgot an alg in the middle of a potential PB like, "Wait, how do you do this again?" then completely losing your new PB lols

Definitely the most annoying.
