Try something like this:

"I lied to seem cool, got immediately busted and regret it as now I seem worse off than before I even opened my mouth"

Saying it's a joke after getting busted doesnt really cut it. Exaggerated version of what happened "I stole your car, but it was only a prank so it doesn't count".


On topic: Taught some guy at a bar how to mess up a cube by twisting a corner, he then immediately bets me to solve the cube in under a minute, twists a corner and calls me a cheater when I twist it back at the end of the solve :fp
 
When someone tries to solve your Magic.
I broke mine the other day and had to restring it (took about 2 hours) and then the next day at school I am solving it when someone asks to have a go. I say the monotonous 'no because it is really fragile and I broke it the other day and it took two hours to fix'. Doesn't stop this person taking it from my hands and start to play around with it.
And if you own a magic, you will know how annoying it can be to 'unscramble' it after you have messed up during a solve. The inevitable happens, and my magic is now scrambled. But then the person refuses to return it because they 'want to fix it'
And that is why I refuse to bring cubes to school anymore. Non-cubers, although I don't think they are stupid, are a pain in the neck to talk to about anything cube related.
 
1. GIVE ME YOUR CUBE I CAN SOLVE IT
2. Can I mix up your cube?
3. Oh I can solve the 2x2 it's so easy give me that shtuff
4. WTF how do you do that!?
5. You should be on America's Got Talent!
6. How do you do that without messing up anything else?
7. DUDE HOW DO YOU SOLVE IT IN FIVE SECONDS (i average 31 seconds and I suck -_-)
8. How do you move that rubik's triangle?
9. My cube (store-bought) at home moves soooo slow
10. He's the master of rubik's cubes!
 
Windhero, you misunderstood. The incident occurred, I just never took the money. What did I lie about? Saying that I took money from him? Tis a JOKE! Why in the world would I lie about that? Are you implying that I should have indicated that it was a joke beforehand? If so, I get it. I didn't lie as such, but I get it. Peace. That's the way kids joke in India, so I'm sorry, but your car analogy kinda makes no sense. I never took money in the first place, so stealing the car doesn't apply. You don't have to bash on me so much, I never did it to seem cool. I just wanted to exaggerate on the fact that people who don't cube get all worked up when they pop one. For some reason, all you Finnish cubers seem hate on me. ( you, username, Roxnu).
On another note: Your fangshi assembly video helped me a lot. Especially the core threading. Thanks!

I saw a guy drop his wallet once, I took it and kept the money.
"a-hole"
I was joking, I gave it back to him. You're an a-hole for calling me an a-hole.

I guess I just don't get your sense of humor.

This.

I dont know much about indian joking culture but if this is it I am not impressed. To me it seems just like pretending to be something when in reality you are not; doesnt exactly bring a smile to my face. Should I have smiled/laughed at you stealing some poor guys cash? Even if it was a joke it did not and would never have had the desired effect.

Dont generalize finnish cubers here, I'm sure more people than us 3 feel the same way. We just felt like telling you and that is more of a coincidence than a stereotype.

If thats what you and people around you find funny, it's ok. I'd say most people would consider my sense of humour distasteful. The difference is that I generally choose my jokes based on the audience. I suppose you couldn't have known that some wouldn't appreciate that particular joke. I dont get your sense of humour, let's just leave it at that.

Ok, completely understandable. I won't generalize Finnish cubers, that was wrong. This is all such a small thing. Let's just not fight about it, and be friends. All good :) ?

Again, understood. My bad. Let's call it quits. All I'm trying to say now is that I'm not a mean or bad person. At least I hope not. Stealing is totally against my values.

My zhanchi once popped in school. This kid was twisting it really hard, and it exploded. He started groveling and saying sorry, and asked me how much it costs. He's a really mean guy, so I said 30 bucks. And that's how I got my fangshi and moyu weilong

;)... he thought I was dead serious until I showed him how easy it actually is to fix my cube

I get the joke and it is funny, but next time you post a joke of this nature, it helps to make it obvious afterwards that you are in fact joking or else other people think you really did it and get annoyed instead of laughing with you. It was a little harder to pick out the joke in this because you said he was nasty and mean which seemed to be a means of justifying taking money from him.

Now that I think about it, that's absolutely true, and I would have thought the same thing seeing it. It's my bad.
