Cubing FML

[Aksel B]

Today, after 22 hours of travelling by bus, I arrived to Paris with my schoolclass. Since we were all hungry, the first thing we did after arriving at the hotel was finding a cafe to get some food. For entertainment i brought my only 2x2 which is my favourite cube atm (i just started training CLL). As i stand at the corner of a street, waiting for the green light, a bus 1-2 metres away from me honks its horn. I get so shocked, that i jump away - my 2x2 falls out of my pocket - lands right under the bus - the bus takes a left-turn *CRUSH*. FMCL

I feel your pain man. Although all my broken 2x2s haven't come in such epic stories.

I was doing an average of 5 in the car and The first solve all looked so perfect, my lookahead was brilliant, my OLL was like 2 seconds and my pll was a u perm. It was like a 15 second solve and my timer hadn't started.

Other story. My friend was timing me and I got a LL skip and I said how did i do he said Oh, I was supposed to time that one

Today's candidate for most embarrassing average of 5?

16.91
15.67
18.90
10.93
17.01

I hate 2LOLL.

Today, I was solving my 7x7. I usually get around 10:30 solves (shut up), but I've never gotten sub-10. I started a solve, and a center-edge piece popped as it usually does. The piece took about five seconds to find and put back in. The time was 10:00.59.

Today, I thought it would be a good idea to juggle my Mastermorphix, Super Square 1, and C4U's DIY 3x3. I drop the 3x3 and the core broke. I super glued it but it pops like crazy unless I take my time with my solves. Now I may have to buy a new core and wait two weeks fiddling with my broken one. FML

Today, I opened my QJ 4x4 to clean and as I took the first edge piece out, a centre break. ATM, the glue is drying and lets hope for the best. FMCL.

Depending on the cube, expect that to happen for a few more pieces. My first QJ cube didn't have a piece break (until I lost a piece >.<), but my second has had about 5 break. Only corners and centers do it, obviously. If I didn't have a spare cube, (being the first one with a missing edge and broken core) I'd be annoyed.

SUB. 10. NONLUCKY. POP. RUIN.

that is all

"Lost" a piece from my 7x7x7 about 3 weeks ago, then made a joke about it being hidden inside one of the hollow corners to my friend.

So I go home, shake the cube just on a whim...

*rattle rattle rattle*

So I disassemble the cube, and lo-behold. there is the piece, lost for 3 weeks.

Damn. I just had this nice scramble (ofcourse my computer restarted before saving it) where there was nice x-cross and F2L-s that are very fast.. also there was the fastest OLL and PLL skip..

FMCL?

A bit of Frustration

Whoops posted in the wrong spot. Would a mod please fix my stupidity? (delete)

 

[Cyrus C.]

Cool story bro.

 

[Anthony]

Maybe you should have posted this in the FMCL thread instead of making a new thread just for this?

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Whoops. I knew it belonged somewhere. I'll um, edit my post and let a mod delete it?

i was playing with my 4x4 RUBIKS BRAND (ya, rubiks brand) and i dropped it, and it pretty much exploded

 

[CitricAcid]

Today I was doing a solve for the Weekly Competition.
I got an X-Cross, and a pair already made, just not inserted.
It was only ten hundredths of a second faster than my previous solve,
which had the worst case scenario in EVERY STEP.

I propose we change the name to Face Palm My Life.

All the shops will close until 5 days later but I have nothing left to eat. So I decided to play with my cube all day. And then my two cubes POP today and both cores were broken. FML.

I forgot how to solve a 3x3 at a competition. FML.
