Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[CubeBag]

I hand him my BRAND NEW Yuxin 2x2. He smashes it on the tarmac and a corner breaks. "OMG! These cubes have ******* quality! I could get it from a pound shop!"

When I read that I died a little on the inside

 

[Sion]

"That's a cool 4×4!"
Me: it's a 2×2.
"How about your 9×9?"
Me: It's a 3×3.
"Oh shut up!"

This is another one:

"You're cheating! That isn't a rubiks cube! That's a speedcube!"

 

[ACR85]

"You're cheating! That isn't a rubiks cube! That's a speedcube!"

I hate the 'why didn't you buy a Rubiks one, there the best. Better than that Chinese junk you have.'

From people who have never done one lol

I was using my QJ Super floppy cube on the bus ride to elementary school (this was a few years back), and some little kid asked if he could play with it, and I told him it was fragile and he couldn't. So then he punched me in the shoulder. He was like 5 years old, so it's not like it hurt or anything, but it was pretty disrespectful.

Whenever people ask if I'm good at math, I nonchalantly tell them that I got an overall C- in Algebra I. It's baffling to people that cubers aren't necessarily really good at math. However, I'm actually very good at Geometry and Trigonometry, which I suppose is technically more mathematically useful in cubing.

when I cube, I always have my pyraminx ready to be taken and slammed onto any non-cuber who, when I pop or corner twist, calls me a cheater.

That's some sweet subtle revenge if I've ever seen it.

I have a sister my daughter's age. She told me that a guy on her school bus has a 3x3 and a 5x5, and that he knows a "trick" to solve them real fast. But it's just a trick."

Most of the people who know me kind of know what not to say now, but recently someone referred to my 6x6 as a "10-wide".

 

[MatsBergsten]

I often cube on buses and tubes and the most common reaction (by far) is:
My grandchildren also has one / plays with those . (I'm 66 years old)

 

[wir3sandfir3s]

My mom: "Hey show your uncle your new 4 cube"
Referring to my 2x2.
My mom (when I was trying to teach her): "I just don't understand how you get that to there"
One turn.
Any time I solve a cube in public or my neighbor shows someone a video of me: "is that kid a genius?"
I'm not even sub 20...

 

[CubeDatCube]

They're like to me with my scrambled 3x3:

"Can you fix this?"

Or

When I turn a corner: "Hey! That's cheating"

 

[TheFearlessPro]

"Lemme scramble it, you always do the same scramble over and over"
In reality, just another kid at school trying to try my cube lol. Also happens when i compete against others in school, especially when i do a race against a kid ( I do OH and he does 2H(3x3) and I still win LOL).
And,
"How do you twist corners?
Cuz
"Can I twist corners?
NO
"Can I try your cube?"
NOOO (this happens so often... -.-)

 

[Cubified]

What are your experiences with non-cubers that you ALWAYS here?
Let me shuffle your cube


How about rubik's triangle?

 

[Cubified]

The one most solve and can I shuffle your Rubix cube

 

[Sion]

"Slow down! Why are you rushing?"

"You should seriously bet money on this!!!"

 

[wir3sandfir3s]

"Slow down! Why are you rushing?"

"You should seriously bet money on this!!!"

Tbh the original reason I learned was for bets...

 

[DecimatingSky]

"Did you bring your rubik's thingy?"
me: which one?
"The Square one (referring to 3x3 cuz it's square)"

 

[Yetiowin]

"That's a cool 4×4!"
Me: it's a 2×2.
"How about your 9×9?"
Me: It's a 3×3.
"Oh shut up!"

Weirdly, I never get this. When other people try my cubes they usually react like "It's really fast" or "Why do you use money on so many of these"

Yea, one thing I get asked is why I have 'so many' 3x3s, which translates to a dozen or so, including like 5 that are from messing around (cucumber.us, etc.)
