Cubing in school?

that's true. Explaining it to them simply and then asking for their name afterwards helps lessen the awkwardness haha.

If they go on to say "I used to peel the stickers off", then just walk away.

Just kidding.
 
I'm really short tempered with people who try to mock me for it now on the bus even when it's something small, it's a thing with me that's been rising for a while. I especially hate it when they tell me that it's hurting their ears in a rude way. I'm getting increasingly impatient with everything. So I lay off cubing in school unless I'm just with my friends, and I cube while talking to them (which probably isn't a very good idea either).
 
I always get to school an hour early because my brother has an AP Spanish course and we go to the same school. I always solve the cube in that hour, but I don't do any other time because its really annoying to all my friends. The only thing that annoys me is there is this one guy who is always there early and he always takes the cube from me and then spends ten minutes doing random turns. I solve in public every once in a while, but not with anything bigger than a 4x4.

About a month ago, just before the end of the spring term, we sat in our form room doing nothing because the other two houses were having their end of term awards assembly. So I just sat in there cubing, taking no notice of anyone around me. Then some kid takes the cube (scrambled) and is convinced he can do it. We were in form for about an hour, and he had it for about half that time, and he went mad every time he got like 4 pieces of he same colour. In the end I just thought stuff this and just ripped it out his hands. I already had a grudge with him, so I solved it, gave him the finger and walked away. I hate people like that, who are convinced they can solve a cube. From now on, I ain't cubing around him anymore :)

I know! I hate it when people say that, and also, "That should be a world record!" *Facepalm* "The world record is 5.55 seconds, dude." "I don't believe it." *Double facepalm*
 
Me and one of my friend cube sometimes in the school only during lunch. We compete and I always win. If some one sees us he/she get attracted to us. My friend once got one his cubes taken away by our English teacher. Luckily his mom is also is a teacher at the school so he got the cubes back. I remember last year both of us were competing during the last period (free for both of us). some girls were sitting next to us and the certainly got attracted towards us and starting cheering. when I won they were like- What are you made up of man some kind of Scientific genius?!! I got a megaminx to the school a week later and they were thinking the puzzle was impossible. I solved it and the same girls got so much attracted that they now teel me to bring big puzzles like a 6x6 or a 5x5 and I just run away from them.

I was the first person to start cubing in my school. Then I taught it to a guy who was like the best in academics. Thought it to 3 of my friends, then to 2 unknown people at school (literally i don't even know their names). Now whenever I solve the cube(sub 20) everyone is like ahh.. too slow... anyone can do it faster... even i can...(all of them except for one are over 2 min solvers). I want to hit them so hard for saying that. The one guy (the best in academics) is sub 20 almost the same like me (just a little bit slower) never brags about solving the cube that fast but the rest do which is really annoying so now i have stopped cubing at school.

Ah okay. Id probably lose my temper as well, but I'm not strong enough to punch someone and actually hurt them :P Did you get in trouble or anything?
 
I've always been small for my age as well and it's a fudging pain in the whatever. But itll sort itself out in years. It's just that, there's nothing to "make up for". It's nothing. I find raging is not the way to go, it only makes it worse inside... So when someone takes my cube i snatch it back aggressively, not out of anger. And foul language just makes it funnier so I don't. If they're close and are actually trying to look for trouble then a hard slap usually does the trick. It's always worked for me, and i can use the excuse that it's funny.

I solve my 57mm cube during the lunch. I also cube in philosophy lessons using with a 42mm ZhanChi behind my pencil case, because i hate the subject and the teacher.
