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

When new cubers join the forum and make the mistake of asking if their progress is fast enough. Cue tirade of people saying 'I was sub 20 in 2 weeks', etc.. Nobody cares, and you're probably lying anyway.
 
like tx789 said: non-cubers... especially when they talk

This is mostly true for me. But one time, I was talking to a non-cuber friend and I had my 4x4 and my 3x3 with me and while I was solving 4x4 and he spoke up and said "So I've been watching you this whole time. So with 4x4, you just solve the centers, pair the edges and then you solve it like you would a 3x3, right?" And I just about squealed with joy because he wasn't all "HURR DURR YOU JUST SWAPPED THE STICKERS OR YOU'RE A MAGICIAN"

That's quite impressive. My physics tutor worked out that even layered cubes don't have set centres when they are scrambled.
