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

[cuber525]

i KNOW I HATE THAT SO MUCH...and they call you a cheater when you look at them scrambling. i hate noobs. and when the solve one side with the edges and corners not oriented, and then say that one time they did it to everyside and it was solved...i really really hate noobs now.... now im angry !!! yay this is my first post!

399.

Me: *solving*
Person: I remember when those came out, everyone said they were impossible.
Me: Yeah, there are actually a lot of people who can do them now.
Person: Well, yeah, but only if they switch the stickers around. *walks away 5 seconds through my solve*
Me: *sigh*

I hate how short people's attention spans are these days.

and when the solve one side with the edges and corners not oriented

Possible...?

yay this is my first post!

Happy first post.

Noob: "I've always wondered what the inside looks like. I think they have magnets in them."
Me: *pops out a piece*
Noob: "Whoa, you can do that?!"
Me: "Uh, yeah."
Noob: "What is that?"
Me: "It's the core, it connects all the pieces together with screws."
Noob: "So where are the magnets?"
Me: *facepalm*

After my previous mistake I get tiles for ALL of my cubes right when I get it.

What was your last mistake? letting someone borrow your cube and having them rip off the stickers?
A girl tried to switch two stickers (white/yellow) on my tiled cube, I seriously was ticked off. Her retort was "I had to make ONE cube you couldn't solve..."
Never gona let HER borrow my cube again...

Last time I got a new cube. I didnt have tiles so a person borrows it and I let him take it home for one day. when it comes back only 6 stickers were intact!

Even before I learnt how to solve the cube, I NEVER, EVER thought of peeling the stickers of and pasting them back. I knew it wasn't effective, and even if you pasted them back properly, you don't gain anything by solving it that way.

But my young cousins all resort to peeling the stickers off. Why? Are we naturally... more intelligent than them, or what?

I think he means solving 1 side not permuted
so like the white side is all white but the "bars" around it aren't the same color. (like last layer just before doing the PLL algorithm(s)

You can do that, but not keep doing it for all sides as you'd obviously mess up the previous sides and have problems with the first layer again even if you didn't mess up the previous sides.

You have failed to number your post #400.

#401
Me: *solving OH*
Noob: *walks up to me* my friend solved a 7x7 BLD, one handed and in 5 secs
Me: WTF

 

[Nukoca]

#400
Me: *solving OH*
Noob: *walks up to me* my friend solved a 7x7 BLD, one handed and in 5 secs
Me: WTF

That'd be #401.

The dude who forgot to number his got #400.

Haha sorry 'bout that, I didn't look at the numbering system, I thought that had been screwed up at about the 150 mark but I guess it got figured out again.

Friend: What's your fastest time?
Me: About 45 seconds
Friend: *laughs*
Me: Um, I've only been cubing for a month so that's not bad at all
Friend: No, I just think it's funny that you time yourself

#403:

Friend: I'll scramble it for you and you ahve to solve it in a minute
Me: ...ok
Friend: *Scrambles* Hey, stop looking you cheater!
Me: ...ok
Friend: You get to look at each side for 3 seconds before you start. *starts to hold the cube up so I can see only one side with the others covered, then rotates it after 3 seconds*
Me: Actually, you're supposed to let me look at the whole thing for 15 seconds.
Friend: No, you have to look at each side for 3 seconds so it's 18 seconds total. You should be glad I'm giving you extra time.
Me: *facepalm*

So when I solved it, he started counting out loud way too fast, so even though I definately did a sub-minute solve he counted 70 seconds.

I hate when people count down my solves.

You should probably not stay friends with someone who's that much of a jerk (and that stupid). You'll regret it later on.

Easy way around that: ask them, "Hey, do you have a stopwatch, or a watch with a second hand or something?" As they fumble with that, it buys you a few seconds to inspect without actually seeming like you're taking time to inspect.

that's actually a good idea. I think I'll use that from now on

Haha, nice. I should do that.

that won't work for me, I always wear a digital watch

You should just hand them your watch, say there is a stop-watch function on it, and then when they are trying to figure out how it works, you can inspect your cube!!!

The worst, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has heard this more than once...
"can you do it without looking?"
(my response) sure, here scramble it and hand it back when you're done.
He hands it back, and the second I start memorizing the cube I hear... "you cheater, you're not supposed to look! I thought you said you can do it without looking!" My thought.... "IDIOT"
