101 Annoying Things You've Heard Your Friends Say While Scrambling Your Cube

204. someone takes the cube and turns it fast to scramble it (i mean really fast, 5+tps) on they're doing L l L' l' R r turns.
205.Wow it feels like you're cube is going to fall apart (which isn't really annoying but then), I'll take it apart.
206.After saying that my cube is lubed...People start saying "I'll lube your cube" with odd emphasis and an all too weird smile. Creepy
 
205: I hate it when you give them the cube and they start going all hardocre scrambling it and a piece pops. GRR!!

206: Same thing as 205 but give it back to u and they have mixed it twice. wtf?/
 
209:"watz ur b3st tim3?" "10.54 seconds." "yeah but who mixed it up?" "me?" "yeah but u memorized what u did and reversed it!!!" "they are computer generated scr... ah forget it."

210:"HE BEAT THE CUBIK'S RUBE!!!"
 
not an annoying thing I've heard, but what happened

(happened at Cebit (Asus/intel stand))
while looking at the overclocking compo I was OHing a cube when suddenly the presenter walks up to me
this all happens with the presenter talking German and me talking English
"Can you solve it?"
"yes"
"okay, I'll scramble it, you solve it"
"sure, (gives him the cube) but watch out because it tends to...."
*cube explodes*
"pop"
 
213) "You're playing with that silly block thing again? Find a REAL hobby."
214)
me: *solving a 3x3x3 siamese cube*
"what kind of cube is that"
"a siamese Rubik's cube"
"where did you get it?"
"I made it"
"how?"
"I glued 2 cubes together"
"WTF? Why would you wreck them?"
 
Haha. I read all the pages, and have heard probably %75+ of them.

220) Them: "What's the fastest you have done that?"
Me: "14 seconds"
Them: "I couldn't do it in 14 YEARS."

221) Dean of admissions at Eckerd College, giving a speech to all the incoming freshman(Talking about cool things about all of us). "One of our accepted students can even solve a Rubik's Cube in under 20 seconds. It would take me longer than that to pick it up."

222) You know the world record is like 2 minutes for that!

223) Are you a world record holder?


And, of course, all scrambles done by non cubers are usually, L6 B3 x' R5 D2 Rw8
 
I don't know where to put this, but today, someone scrambled my cube for me, so I could do a BLD. I told them I could memo in under a minute. Turns out I ended up doing a BLD FMC, I found an optimal solution of 6 moves. Turns out the scramble was:

R2 L2 z R L z R2 L2
 
224) A guy who can a cube in less than 2 minutes and thinks he's awesome playing with my cube:
"Duddeee, you lubed this too much..." *POP*
"Exactly! You lubed it too much!"

I hate it when people think they have a better idea of what makes a good cube then you because it pops whenever they hold it :mad: My friends try to explain to me why their storeboughts are infinitely better than my DIYs...

225) Can I see your 4D cube? (referring to the 4x4)
226) Any time a cube is referred to by the amount of stickers on a face, eg. "the 9 cube" for a 3x3, or "that 4 cube" for a 2x2. I can't stand that.
 
228) (After playing with my STORE BOUGHT cube in the water) You shoulda told me not to before. Store bought, with the paper stickers, and that was my best speed cube, and now it sucks.

229) This square is wierd.
Wtf? Square?
 
125. (After a pop): Ha! It broke.
126. (When you put the piece back in): WTF? How did you do that?
127. (Also after putting the piece in): I wish I knew that earlier. Taking the thing apart would've be way easier than replacing the stickers.
128. (When you figure out that the cube is now unsolvable, and flip an edge piece): Cheater! I knew I scrambled it too well for you!

I know the last one well... Also, after I got my speed cube (DIY, nicknamed my 0 ohm cube...) I showed my friend that I could take the centers out... The next scramble I got my white was next to my black (yellow...) and across from red, and overall, totally screwed up... I had to retake the centers out...
230: *during a 4x4x4 solve...* woah! is that like the 4 sided one?
231: *during a water break* a teacher comes over to me, watches me solve in ~45 (average 38, so kind of slow...) and he just stares at me with his mouth open...

191. (After solving) HE'S A WITCH! BURN HIM!
192. (During solve) UP! RIGHT! LEFT! BLUE! AM I MESSING YOU UP!?!?
193. (In the middle of an algorithm) HAHA! You screwed up the green sid- Oh, never mind.
194. That's not so hard. I once solved it with my feet in 12 seconds (Congratz on the world record...)
195. (Someone who saw my megaminx before it broke) Wow! How many colors does it have?(I tell them: 12) Wow! How many colors? ::faceslap::
196. (Someone who sees me solve a 2x2) Pfft. That's not so hard(I give them the cube and they suddenly find something else to do)
197. (After solve) Wow! Are you Asian!?!? (My usual response: Do I look Asian?)
198. (After they turn their back and "scramble" it by turning two sides) Now watch me solve it! ((They forgot the sides they turn and screw the whole thing up. True story)
199. I once took the stickers off and put them back on in the right places. *laugh* (My usual response: Why?)[/i]

I'll leave number 200 for someone else

LMAO I "pretend" to solve it I do U, then to make people laugh, I do U again...

232 (I think): *in annoyingly "nerdy" voice (basically saying it through his nose* WATCH ME SOLVE 3 MOVES IN 1 MOVE!!! (after showing my R'U finger trick) U, U, U, U...
Me: God save us...
 
233) I can't even solve it in 1 hour!
234) I solved it once, it took me 2 weeks, 2 weeks!!
235) I always remove the stickers and put them back on in the right position.
236) (about a megaminx) it's a cube with 5 faces!
237) (about a 7×7) it's a cube with 7 faces!
238) Doesn't that thing works with logarithms?
239) Are you one of those really fast people that can solve it in less than 15 minutes?
 
240) During the Philippine Open 2008 (while we're waiting for the mall to open):

Mid age guy: Nah, I bet you guys can't beat the WR?!...can you? It's 6.XX, you can't beat that!
-we were like, "What?!, where did that old guys gets his info?" lol, (that time Nakaji still holds the WR)

241) When I was at my previous University, Just solving and teaching my friends, then another group of guys are watching me, I heard him said:

(Referring to me) Wow he's fast! My friend told me that he is the fastest, but this guy's (ME) faster than him. ohh. (You've been punkd, I guess)
 
Well, obviously, we either:
1) set it up, and therefore are cheating,
2) looked at it during the memorization phase, and therefore are cheating,
3) move our fingers too fast, and therefore aren't human, or
4) our cubes are too "slippery", and therefore aren't legal.
XD
so true!
You guys don't feel the colors?
