My most common ones are:
"WTF!"
"You didn't mix it up enough."
"Why don't you just take it apart and put it back together?"
"LET ME TRY!" (you let them and they hog your cube for 2 hours trying to solve one side)
"What the? You aren't even looking!" ("Well there's these things called algorithms" "Nerd" /walks away)
"How do you do that?!!!" (After so many times of this, I just say "MAGIC" and walk off)

I was doing some sune/antisune OH after getting back to school from an all school assembly and this one girl saw me and was all like O.O
I said it's nothing forget about it. She said "that's amazing" and I told another kid who knows me for awhile and he's all like "It's nothing. He does this nonstop. It's old". After about 3 OH solves she finally got it. It is in fact nothing. Still funny to watch her flip out cause I can solve it and after a couple solves it turns into nothing.

One of the stupidest things that someone said to me is from when I let a stranger to speed cubes scramble my cube. They were trying to scramble the cube with zero carefulness, so of course the cube popped. I put the pieces (an edge and a corner) back in, and proceeded to solve it. I got the the last layer and realized that there were 3 of the edge pieces oriented correctly (beginner's method cross) when there should of been 2 or 4, so of course I would take the edge piece out and fix it, but once I did that, the person yelled at me and said I was a cheater for fixing the piece, even though I told them it was unsolvable.
Other funny/annoying things non cubers have said:
I have a store bought rubik's 4x4 and I took it on a band trip to honor band auditions. One of the other band members caused it to pop, and was freaking out because she thought she broke it.
Almost every time after I solve, someone asks me to let them use my cube or they try to pry it out of my hand. When I ask them why they can't get their own cube, they whine that $10.00 is expensive.

They always say "Woah! How did you do that?" and every single time I just reply "skill, talent, and a little bit of awesomeness."

One time I was trying to convince my dad to buy me the lubix zhanchi and he says "I dont see why you waste your money on these things. You can buy one at walmart and put WD-40 in it and it will be just the same" Ugh it took forever for me to finally convince him.

haha me too. The other day someone wanted me to do it blind. They scrambled it and kept asking ever ~5 seconds if I was done memorizing it yet, and then covering my eyes. I tried explaining that I needed more time to memo. It didn't work. After a while of losing my focus, they told to just normally speedsolve it.

Not really a "darndest thing" because I actually found it funny and creative but I was messing with my angle cube at school and someone asked if they could see my "twisty modern art puzzle".

Just simply reply "...I don't know if he has ever finished it. He only managed to finish 5 sides."

Today they said to me when i was doing underwater solves:
how do you do lego underwater?

Last I was at the dinner table with my rubiks cube and my father in law, said aah I used to have that but never really solved it.
I said I can do it pretty fast. I solved it for him. He was impressed, then I was checking my iphone, i just downed an app with a bunch of algoritms in it.
He looked at the phone and saw an image of the cube and said.
Oh you looked it up , that's easy...
Impression gone lol

Well at an afterfuneral dinner I was sitting there cubing and a cousin walks up to me and he said "theres no way you solved that! You just popped out the pieces and put them back in place" my response was " bet me, Ill let you scramble it" so we bet a 2 litter of mountain dew. Of course I won and I got a free 2 litter of soda!

A girl in the train told me that she wasn't aware that the middle layers could turn too. Clueless I tell you...

She might have a clue: she may have heard somewhee that "the centers cannot move"
The "relative to eachother" part may have been forgotten though

Yeah, I did take that into consideration at first. But then she went on about peeling stickers off and hitting the cube with a hammer "because it's so frustrating" ect. (the usual stuff). I think she just hadn't seen anybody flick M before.
