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

[Gordon]

That springy sound on some faces before lubing the cube.

I hate that. Just got threee new cubes today and they all sound like that

Video Tutorials.
Just write it down, so those of us who want a quick overview or learn at different paces can still understand.

when noob cubers tell me that cooking oil works better than lubix

i also hate the lack of close comps, there should be 2 or 3 a year near you (0-4 hours)

i lastly hate when dayan says they finished a new cube, but 4 months later we are still waiting for it...

I understand. NC cubers unite! That's why I am trying to organize my own.

I hate when the phone rings in the middle of a good solve or when your cat jumps on you in the middle of a solve. But the worst is cold hands.

Having a 7x7x7 fall apart on the bus so you have to spend 15 minutes crawling around on the floor looking beneath people's legs and miss your stop.

I had to go help my mom with something during a BLD solve. Then I messed up on my corners. Almost a PB by ~1 minute.

iirc, they didn't say that they finished a cube, they said that they were producing one.

Trying to buy cube online but parents says I have to many already but I don't have all the good mf8/mefferts/witeden puzzles.

Breaking a part of a puzzle during the process of modding it.

I hate when the phone rings in the middle of a good solve or when your cat jumps on you in the middle of a solve.

Just let your cat answer to the phone and both problems will be fixed at the same time

When you screw up a PLL algorithm on a PB solve.
Popping a cube in the middle of a solve (i popped my shengshou 4x4 yesterday, and i had no idea how to put it back together, it's fine now though)
People that think all cubes are the same, and think rubik's brands are just as good as dayans, and people who think i'm cheating because i'm not using a rubik's brand.

-Non-cubers who thiks they know more about cubing than me.
-I'm not able to do an average of 100 without getting a lot of bad solves. The mean of the 25 fist solves I did yesterday were 19.66, the next 25 were 21.54 and the last 50 were almost sub 20.
-DNF on easy 3bld scrambles.
-Corners on 4bld. There is always a chance I mess it up because of lockups.

When you do a solve on the computer and end up with DNF because the cube falls down on the spacebar

Almost doing a PB and getting an E PERM, I hate this perm so much. When trying to recognize it's the last one I think about, and once I do I have look at so many things so I know how to rotate the cube in a way I can do the algorithm. And then I do the algorithm wrong, so I have to redo the F2L and get a really bad time.

Using "Prisma Puzzle Timer" to time 7x7x7solves. I can't figure out why I keep solving the puzzle but the number of solves isn't going up. Eventually I realize that the pointer is pointing on top of the "delete" button for solves so I'm deleting two solves for each one I complete. One for starting the 15 second timer, the other for completing the time. And there's no way to get back the deleted times.

When your white cube pops and pieces scatter into a pile of white paper.

but but but but but e-perm is awesome!

When you reach a time cap! ITS HORRRIIIBBBLLEEEE!!! Cant get over a certain average
