Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

I hate it when people are like "so if i mix it up, you can solve it?"
*takes the cube a starts turning each face with a whole hand*
30 seconds later they've turned it 15 times, with 5 of those being R, R' or U, U'
*I solve it*
"that was a bad mix up, let me do it again"
 
Who: A reputable person who owns his own Christian, private school, and, from what I had made about him after some eavesdrops, a brilliant man. (He actually, at that time, initiated a healthy debate about the difference of being a 'catholic, etc.' & a 'Christian.')
When&where: After a school camp somewhere in Laguna, Ph.
How: He saw me spending time waiting for my aunt to fetch us, solving a 3x3x3, and asked, "Did you know who invented that?" I doubtfully answered, "An architect: Rubik, Erno…."
Why: He corrected me, "It was actually invented by a convict who had been bored inside his cell and come up with that, named Rubrick[sic](or Rubrik)."
Also: "They say it can be solved within only 5 moves," which I politely disagreed upon: "No, the held record is(was) actually 21 moves. Turns. It is hardly possible." Later, I researched if Rubik had been a convict….
 
This isn't really something someone said, but when I sent my Christmas list to people, I put at the top, highlighted and in bold letters, not to get store-bought puzzles. I just finished opening presents, and I got a mefferts gear cube, a Rubik's void cube, and 4 dollar store sticker mods. Did they not read the warning?!

I love the gear cube though

I get that ALL THE TIME.
Also:
"Hey, don't look at it! You'll memorize all the moves!"

People that see me scrambling and say:
"OMG he can solve it without looking at it!!!!"

"How many times did you beat it?"
Like I count every time I solve it.

Once my cube popped up while solving it in front of an idiot and then i began to fix it back in the cube...he said "u cheated..u puuted in the right place.. u cheater"
AHHH!!!
 
When I was eight or nine, I knew how to solve one side, and once, the opposite side somehow got solved. I was so amazed and I told everyone not to touch the cube for about a month.

It IS possible to solve two sides without knowing how to solve it, if you're lucky.
 
So i had my stickerless YuXin 4x4 with me out in public, and this is what happened:
(person) "Are you serious! Its a cube made completely out of plastic!"
(me) "yah, i got one without stickers"
(person) "How do you do to solve it then?"
I felt like slapping myself. I continued the conversation and they finally got the fact that i turned the faces to solve it. I'd love to show them a comp.
 
*Does a really slow 50 second solve
You should TOTALLY go to the world championships, you would so WIN!

OR
Yeah, I have a friend who can do that in, like, less that 5 seconds.
Is his name Lucas Etter?
Umm... No?
LIAR! (Well, I don't actually say that)

PLOT TWIST: his name is Feliks Zemdegs

He's still lying...
Feliks didn't get a solve in under 5 seconds? Or so I thought...
Also, just happened to me: (In the middle of doing F2L/OLL/PLL) The person in question (also one of those really LOUD and annoying LOL ones, no offence to them) just started laughing, saying that you just messed up the side I had already done, especially in PLL; I explain that I've fixed it; continue to the next algorithm; cycle starts over again
 
ugh... i was skyping with my friend while cubing and was explaining where i get my speeedcubes from, and the peroson was like.
what? why cant u just use a regular rubik's cube? isnt it the same, i mean c'mon it's just a cube right?

i was so pissed off after that....
 
Sometimes I wear the shirt from the competition I went to at school, and all the non-cubers ask me if I won. Seeing them in shock when I told them I got 43rd place is hilarious. (My average was just under 30 seconds. Pretty slow, but still fast enough for non-cubers to think I'm some kind of wizard.) It's really funny watching their reactions when they find out there are people faster than me.
