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

[RageCuber]

When your friend insists on doing a 4x4 assisted blind... and you say yes (I'm talking to you carter )

haha !

When my friends borrow my cubes.

When people tell me "Just cause you can solve that doesn't mean you're smart". I'm not trying to prove I'm smart. Speedcubing has the stigma of being a showoff ever since everyone realized "Hey, all you have to do is algorithms over and over, YOU'RE A BUNCH OF PHONIES!"

Having to spend ~5 mins a day looking for lost cubes, popped pieces, etc. and putting them back together.

Note to self: Put cubes on a very high shelf where children cannot reach.

One time my pet rabbit was playing with my v cube 7 and banged it on the floor, one of the center pieces popped out and it was a pain to put back

So also keep out of reach of rabbits

Having slow stupid fingers that can not keep up with the brain

When your hair gets caught in the cube -_-

Whoa. Your first post. Welcome to the forum. And almost nobody has that problem because 99% of cubers are guys. Haha.

That must hurt.

Thanks for the welcome, I didn't realize the majority were guys!

That must hurt.

I would not wish it on anyone. The worst part is that if you don't notice and keep solving, the cube jams...

 

[Rocky0701]

Welcome! Yeah, i would say probably 95% are guys, sorry.

I wonder why there are so many guys? Not like it is a very manly thing to be doing haha. I just cant help myself. I want to get faster and faster and then get faster. For absolutely no reason I can identify.

For one, high prenatal testosterone makes for better spatial skills. It also explains why cubing is popular with shy people and aspergers (both could be caused by high prenatal testosterone)

Some people on this website that comment on everything, fix what other people said and apparntly don't have lives because that is all they do. That's the most annoying thing right now.

And every male person has short hair. I have long hair and I'm a guy. I don't have hair get caught in a cube how ever.

I'm male, and autistic (aspergers isn't used as a diagnosis anymore) and am shy. Whoa.

The majority do have short hair. Long hair is cool, though.

Most of the people that post a ton (kclejeune and TDM are the first to come to mind) are actually helpful, at least that I've seen.

My youngest brother has aspergers (or "high-functioning autism" I suppose is now the better term?) Anyway, he is very smart and has a great memory, but his motor skills have never been great. He's not very physically coordinated. I figure that would cause difficulty with cubing? Though he is pretty good at some video games that require a bit of dexterity (he does Super Mario speed runs and other old console stuff).

Not so much speedcubing as speedsolving forum, but next year I'm moving into a hostel for a year, where any page under 'games' is blocked. SpeedSolving forum is under 'games'. Sigh... Any possibility of this being changed?

I have similar filters on my work computers in Korea... Unfortunately, I think they are blocked automatically. The system just looks for key words and blocks the page if it finds them.

I have this problem at school too. I think it is, as DeeDubb said, key words. I think every website with 'games' in the URL is blocked; any websites that people find that aren't blocked don't have 'games' in the URL.
