Most Embarrassing Cubing Moment

[waffle=ijm]

When Sarah Strong kept on telling people who I was at Nationals, because everyone hates me. I'm gonna get payback, Sarah.

That's your fault for having people hate you.

lol, I wasn't telling people who he was "because everyone hates him". He looks completely different from what most of us expected, so I was pointing him out to a few people. I don't hate him really, he's a kind guy IRL.

and I just wanted to say hi =(

Yeah. I knew weren't trying to get people to turn against me. You were just telling people who I was so they could at least have an idea who they talking too.

How old do they think you are?

And would you guys be okay if I said hi to you :O?

At US Open 2007 I popped (3x3x3) and tried to solve it as much as possible so I'd only have to take out and correctly insert a CEC triple to finish (not sure whether that would've been legal). I completely failed, gave up and got 1:10. And it was the final, we were going one by one, so everybody was watching me and I wasted everybody's time. Shameful.

 

[hatep]

At Australian Nationals, whenever I tried to solve someone else's 3x3 it popped EVERY TIME

I was showing my friends how quick I could solve a 2x2 and then it locked up and with all my might I tryed to cut the corner until... It flew out of my hand and broke.

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

Rofl. Clock jokes always make me laugh.

You wouldn't know clock jokes unless you were at Aus Nationals 2010. The massive Melbourne Central clock went off for 5 minutes every hour (including during Faz in the 3x3 finals ), and it had random dancing figures in it playing really loud, strange music. We were all planning to throw cubes at it.

Well at nationals, orangina.

At Aus Nationals, when I was trying to sell people orangina, and no one wanted to buy it.

 

[Faz]

Man you should have asked me.

 

[RCTACameron]

Man you should have asked me.

Sorry, you were busy and I didn't get around to it. I asked mini you (Oskar), is that close enough?

Don't worry, I still have some. You can buy it off me for $3.50 (the price I got it for) at the next meetup, if I can come. This would be in the bulging bottle, or if you want, you can just get it in a can at The Original Lolly Shop, MC. If you got the bottle from me, though, I'd bring a bottle opener. Orangina is really good.

Ugh, so many moments especially during school.

 

[Zane_C]

Can't really recall anything except for:
Qualifying 2nd in 3x3 round 2 at Aus Nats, I only qualified second because Matt and Nick left, I went pretty good for myself and others failed.
Everyone probably expected me to be awesome in the final round.
My solves ended up being horrible, stuffing up OLL on 2 solves.

 

[Owen]

2x2 DNFs.

 

[onionhoney]

Lost my Lanlan right before the first round of 2x2.
So i have to borrow one from Yuxuan Wang and surprisingly got an AsR. xD

Anyway i think it is pretty embarrasing to lost a cube at a competition. I swear i'll take care of them next time.

 

[Cubenovice]

My first (and only comp)...
My average at the time was around 50s and I only managed to get a 90+ average because I was completely messing up 4 of 5 solves.

Got a pop (only my 2nd ever) on first solve, placed edge back in flipped position; That definately did not help for relaxing...
Noticed a cross errror halfway during F2L
On another one I am finishing OLL and I miss one yellow edge??? (still in 2nd layer)
Then I mess up an A perm so badly I can practically start all over
I am glad I got one decent solve just around my 50s average.

My worst cubing ever but all in all a great day!

I mispronounced Orangina.

How did you pronounce it? :confused:

 

[lorki3]

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

I got the same scramble with sq 1. The first solve was messed up, but the third one whas the same scramble and I got a 34.xy D layer skip.
I didn't know you where allowed to get the right scramble. XD

 

[waffle=ijm]

I mispronounced Orangina.

How did you pronounce it? :confused:

like vagina

Not mine, but:

At Twin cities 09 (i think), I was waiting to be called up. The kids on my right were talking about Bob Burton, and then the kid on my right yells out "Whos Bob Burton?". It was really awkward.
