my english teacher wanted to scramble my guhong (modded with ghost hand springs for speed) and after like 2 turns it just fell apart and the whole class gasped and my teacher was like "OH MY GOD I WILL BUY YOU A NEW ONE"
i put it back together quick action

shoulda let him buy you a new cube

Sees my 2x2: "Whoa! It's a four"

My mum said that the other day when I showed her the new world record xDD But it was more of along the lines of "that's only a four."

"I chipped a tooth trying to solve a Rubik's Cube."
at some point, someone "corrected" the poster, saying that it was Rubix, not Rubik's. there's also other "corrections": Rubic's, Rubick's, etc lol

And in mine too. I pulled that pic off the internet, so it's probably a previous version.

people say "can u play the rubiks cube???" it sounds kinda stupid

 

[Yuxuibbs]

I kind of got a lot of people in my school into cubing and people are like "I can solve it in an hour!" and someone else would be like "She can solve it in under 20 seconds, you're slow." makes me feel weird because I'm not used to the attention I get. I'm still the only one in the school that's allowed to cube during class though. People keep coming up to me to solve their cube and they're giving me rubik's brands which force me to get a 40+ sec solve just because it's so bad.
someone was like "can I try your cube?" and they end up messing up the internals then they internally pop/break something and they're like "why is your cube so bad????".

My mother once tried to convince me that a Rubik's brand is of higher quality than my Guhong. :fp

Tell her a feather duster is better quality than a vacuum.

that's exactly what my parents have tried to do, because i bought my cube assembled and it was on a very loose tension, and so it popped like crazy.

someone was like "what's up with you and all those cubiks rubes or what ever you call it?"
um... cubiks rube? whats that?

Cubing Stereotypes

I was thinking about what other people think or do about cubers and when they're solving.

The main things I have noticed are that:

1) "Asian!" or "Isn't the world record held by and Asian?"
2) They will be extremely surprised at first, but will get old fast
3) They will be jealous and will say: "I can do that faster"
4) They will mention something about the supposed "World Record"
5) They will just stare and then walk off
6) They will start paying attention to you
7) They will mention something about how fast your fingers are or that they can't even see what you're doing

I've also noticed you have to keep learning new tricks or different sized cubes after a while.

Just wondering what your experiences with other non-cubers has been. Long term or short term.
