Most Embarrassing Cubing Moment

[Andrew Ricci]

What was the most embarrassing cubing moment you've ever had?

ex.) On the forum, YouTube, at a competition, etc.

Simon Westlund: "Does anyone have a clock?"
Me: "Yes, it is x.xx PM"
--And the whole room goes massive LOL
Simon Westlund: "I meant a Rubik´s clock"

... dork. Second competition ever

Haha, that's hilarious.

I've never cubed with in a comp/uploaded vids, so I haven't got embarrassed. Yet.

I accidentally scrambled three magics in the space of about 30 seconds at Nationals. Only two of them were mine.

My friends caught me peeling the stickers.

Rofl. Clock jokes always make me laugh.

...why'd you do that?
Was it before you knew how to solve it?

I was on the bus up to class. I was solving my Megaminx. I didn't realise people were watching me...I finished a solve and 4 or 5 people starting applauding me. Clapping. It wasn't embarrassing as much as it was awkward.

Same, I hate when me just cubing attracts a crowd.

Hrm, my most embarrassing was probably on the forums. (I kinda flamed a kid beyond reason....)

I can't think of any embarrassing things in a comp - can anyone remind me of some?

Locking, popping, and sucking on my comp PB. It was a 14 but should have easily been sub 10.(darn f perm). Also, I pop on every round.

 

[TheMachanga]

I was scrambling 3x3 in the final round of Cat and Mouse, and I gave someone the same scramble twice.

At my 1st competition, I broke my 2x2 PB while BLD was going on. I jumped up and freaked out cuz it was like a 1.54 solve and everyone turned around and stared at me. I wanted to be invisible...

Now that you mention it, my most embarrassing moment in comp was when one of my F2 caps flew off for no apparent reason. It turned a 25s solve into a 35.

during singapore open 2009,i dropped my cube while solving (sweaty palms) and decided to give up.

Cloco joke: I was solving clock in a meeting and I messed up. Just after that looked at the clock in the phone and shout: F*** I knew it was 6 pm and not 12am!!!

During the Nebraska Open, I took a pop as a DNF in the first round, the last solve was off by an M move. I had DNF average. I felt slow when I was judging people in the second round who averaged 1:30. Not really embarrassing, but...

On the forums I love going back and looking at my first posts. I remember once Bryan told me to judge at Chicago or something, I said I probably wasn't qualified to.
