Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

I'm waiting for the owners of a small business to look up the price of oak dust for me. Naturally I'm speed solving and scrambling. One of them tells the other "I saw that he got one side!" I treat this as an invitation to do a slow solve with the Rido hunting story for F2L and the LL algorithms treated as "magic you learn on youtube".

And those big cubes are rare. One time I was solving the 7x7 on a bus. A guy comes up to me, "you must be Carl". We were friends on facebook but had never met.

Solving big cubes on the bus is a bad idea because eventually you end up with a FMCL story that involves crawling around on a crowded dark bus at night trying to find cubies.
 
When I tell people that I can solve it in 23 seconds, everyone always says "I can solve that in 23... years!"
And then everyone calls my pyraminx a "Rubiks Triangle"
Can't forget the classic "I only got one side!"
And then one time, someone looked at my cube, said that it looked cheap, and received a full dose of my wrath.

Takes my friend's cube
Turns it one layer
Turns it back
"I SOLVED IT!"

Same with my cubes at school
Something extra: When someone does that, he always says "I can do this faster than you"

When my Zhanchi pops, some peopole say "Oh no, you broke it"
Or when I have a parity after a pop and I repair it, before I have the chance to say "It's an impossible possition", they say "YOU'RE CHEATING!!!!!"
At school the only puzzle my classmates can solve is a floppy 3x3x1
 
people in my class " i'm the world record holder. I did it in less that a second"

I don't even think that's possible.

someone in my class brought in a Rubik's brand and asked to race me ( he can't even solve it) then I do race him and other people keep trying to smash my cube (new fangshi) out of my hands.

everyone keeps taking my cubes in lessons because they want to copy my work and they think it's funny to take my cubes.

that's just some of the things non-cubers do to me at school.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Wow, people are that mean to you? Is there anything you can reasonably do about it? I knew people could be stupid, but that is just extreme :(

Once at school I was doing a 2x2 BLD solve and while I had the blind-fold on, someone lifted my blind-fold and I was able to look at the cube, during another 2x2 BLD solve while I was doing a Y-Perm someone tried to take my cube(I wasn't looking of course, blind-fold on) and I lost my place in the algorithm.

What's the point of cubing in class? It's pretty stupid imo.
 
The first visitor came and went yesterday. It wasn't long before he noticed the cube pictures on my desktop and subsequently asked if I had a cube.

I said I had three, and then went on to add that I did it in 17 seconds the day before. Of course, I got the usual "I can do it in 2 minutes", but he was amazed when he watched me doing it though...

He also takes is cube with him and does it on the train. Mindlessly, he says.

EDIT: I think this is a new one for us! He says that he got interested in speedcubing for "about a week", and then gave up because it was getting too complicated. That's from a university student, by the way.
