Yep, I sympathize with you completely. Well, almost. I am learning Roux, though, and also think that the WCA should use STM.

Sub-6 seond first three paris and then screwing the lookahead on the final pair to ruin a near perfect solve.

OR: excellent F2L followed by crappy OLL case or doing the wrong PLL.

Finger pain.

Finger pain.

And wrist aches.

I hate it when my cube pops and the pieces fall under a desk, and when I finally get it out it's covered in dust.

What is the worst\most annoying thing in speed cubing in your opinion?

The endless groupies.

 

[fastcubesolver]

The fact that I have to interact with people gets to bug me a bit.

Just kidding, but there are some people out there who irritate me.

Florida had a competition recently in 2011, but then the only close delegate moved away. It is very sad. Where do y'all Florida cubers live? I am livin' in Sarasota.

Assembling the cube and dropping a spring or a washer. Takes an eternity to find those sum*****es.

Having a 5x5 while sitting on the toilet and having a piece fall in. God damnit.

Improving your PB. By 0.028%. Yay, 4x4 is now 1:05,83 instead of 1:05,98.

Breaking in a stiff Vcube 7

Stickering a Vcube 7

All in a days work.

zomg. Cubing in the bathroom. What has the world come to?

Just curious, do you still use that 5x5?

Someday y'all are gonna have babies and the fear of poop will be forever washed from your mind.

Poop is everywhere. Everything you eat has already been eaten and pooped many times and the natural world will continue this sequence long after you are gone.

The least dangerous poop on the planet is your own. Just before you pooped it, it was a part of you. Getting a little of it on you isn't going to be a problem.

Sometimes people end up taking antibiotics that eliminate the bacteria in their system. It's very painful to live like this, you need the bacteria to properly digest your food. So a traditional nurse's solution is to give them a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a little poop in it. Eighteen hours later they're magically all better.

Here's an article on a closely related subject (poop transplants) at the NY Times, the nation's leading newspaper:

Now, go enjoy your 5x5 and keep your knees together when you're solving in the bathroom.

This reminds me of why I wash my hands after a session scrambling people's cubes at a contest.

There's luck involved. I don't like that...

It's just a matter of time until someone breaks the WR with a LL skip
