The same non Cuber as last time:
Non Cuber: why won't you accept that I'm better than you.
Me: I would like to find a Cuber who is better than me. ( I don't see them often maybe once every few months)
I go and look at his fake page
Non cuber: see, have you beaten any of these times.
I realise that all his times are better than mine
Me: OK, so what's the square one parity algorithm?
Non Cuber: I'm not saying here( something like that)
Me: why don't you cube her then?
Non Cuber: I only like doing it around other cubers.
________________________________
A different non Cuber
Non Cuber: is that a 5x5
Me: yeah, obviously.
He than celebrates that he had got it right.
Me: how could you not know that that's a 5x5? Can you count, 1,2,3,4,5?
Non cuber: I'm In year 4 (UK)

I was average around 16 seconds a month ago.
(1 month later)
Me: *practicing*
Mom: *suddenly interrupts* What average are you now?
Me: Around 14-15 seconds.
Mom: That is such a slow progress. You should be sub-10 right now.
Me: *fp*

Non-Cuber: I can scramble it so that you can't solve it
Me: *Sigh...*Hands over cube
1 Hour Later
Non-Cuber: *Hands over cube
It was a 2-gen scramble
Me: What kind of a scramble is this?
Non-Cuber: I know, you can't solve it.
Me: Starts solving cube
Non-Cuber: SEE? You can't solve it!
Me: Solves cube
Non-Cuber: *Walks away quickly

I had a friend who wanted to burn my cubes. He even made flags with pictures of burning cubes and ruined a cubing club.

So, this guy wasn't a non-cuber but I thought this was weird.
Guy: *Watches me solve OH* "What's your fastest time two handed? Mine's 40 seconds."
Me: "13.22"
Guy: *Bows to me like I'm a god.*

that a bit commen
“I knew someone who could solve it in 2 seconds....i think the wr is something like 2.5 sec...."
I think it's common....at least with me....lol

This is what people say to me during a fridrich solve:
(at this point, I am on the last layer, just finished F2L)
'Oh my god youre no where near done!!!'
'I am though, im on the 2nd to last step'
<does OLL>
'OMG!!! WTF MAN HOW DID YOU DO A SIDE SO FAST!!!'
'Its called OLL'
'Whats an OLL?'
'Orientation of the last layer'
'Dont get it'
'Making the last side the same colour'
'But you have got to do the other 5 first'
'Look'
<shows solved f2l>
'OMG WHEN DID YOU DO THAT!!!'
'It was the first bit'
'I didnt see you do that though, so if I didnt see it, it didnt happen'
'Yes it did, I just did it on the bottom'
'WOW YOU MUST BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH IT TO KNOW WHAT THE BOTTOM LOOKS LIKE!'
'No, I do this thing called 'looking at the bottom side''
'Die'
'No, I dont want to, but I think you would be really good at it'
<Shows solved cube>
'You peeled the stickers off'
'It has tiles'
'Ok, you painted the tiles'
'Do you see any paint?'
<Other person walks off>

"Hey man can I try that Rubik's cube?"
"Sure. *gives* Don't be too rough with the cube, it cost a lot."
"How much?"
"$42."
"$42?! Dude I can go to the dollar store and get a cube that's better than this!"
"No..."
"Why does it cost so much?"
"Magnets..."
"MAGNETS?! *gasps* OH MY GOD IT MAKES SO MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE!"
"It helps with overshooting."
"No no! It's so special! Because it has circle centers!"
"-.-"

I can’t even turn it that fast
And then there’s also accurate noncubers, like the wr is 5 seconds, can you do it that fast?

"Don't you use an algorithm to solve that?"
"Uhhh... you use a method with algorithms in it"
"So you DO use algorithms!"
"Yup"
"So what is it?"
"There are many algori-"
"WHAT IS IT!!!"
"Uhh... R U R' U' R2-"
"WTH ARE YOU SAYING?!?!?!"

Was it?
Non-Cuber: *watching me solve* You should be in the math(s) club.
Me: Why?
Non-Cuber: You can solve the Rubik's Cube.
Me: But that doesn't involve math(s).
Non-Cuber: Algorithms are math(s) related, and you use algorithms to solve the cube.
Me: Yeah, but the algorithms aren't math(s) related.
Non-Cuber: Did you not just hear me?
Me: Not all algo-
Non-Cuber (obviously triggered): I have an A in math(s)! I know more about math(s) than Albert Eisenstein!
Me: But that still doesn't mean tha-
Non-Cuber (oh jeez): ARE YOU TRYING TO QUESTION MY KNOWLEDGE IN MATH(s)! I KNOW ALGORITHMS ARE MATH(s) RELATED! YOU USE ALGORITHMS TO SOLVE THE RUBIK'S CUBE! THEY ARE RELATED!!!
Me: Yeah, bu-
Non-Cuber: YEAH, BUT BUT BUT BUT, BUT WHAT? I'M SMARTER THAN YOU!!!
*non-cuber then proceeds to throw his food at me*
I got in trouble... for instigating...

Spanish class today.
Context: I switched from Spanish II to Spanish III on Monday. Half the class didn't really notice me on Monday or Tuesday since there was a sub who obviously didn't say anything about it.
Today, the teacher was back, and she mentioned that I was switching into that class.
Actual quotes underlined.
Teacher: Justin's in this class now, he is infected with the Rubik's Cube sickness.
Me: henlo frends
Me internally: ¿kden?
Later:
(Teacher goes off on some tangent about how people sometimes focus better if they have something to do with their hands, and she's fine with it as long as it isn't loud or something, but needs a counterexample for some reason.)
Teacher: Justin, can you manipulate your cube?
*starts spamming LL algs*
*stops briefly*
*solves LL from there in like 3 seconds, casually sets down cube*
*everyone claps wtf*

When assigning partners for projects or other stuff, my Spanish 3 teacher will describe the two people in Spanish and the class has to guess who the person is.
Whenever he describes me he always talks about rubik's cubes, making hand motions. After he found out that I have the SR for Feet, he always mimes Feet solving while standing up.

I noticed my cube was getting dusty, so I decided to wash it
Me: *Disassembles cube
Dad: WHAT???? DID YOUR CUBE JUST BREAK????
Me: I'm washing it
Dad: WHY? WHEN YOU WASH IT IT MAKES IT WORSE SINCE THE METAL WILL RUST
Me: This is plastic
Dad: THEN WHY DO I SEE METAL??
Me: because that's the core, I'm not washing the core
Dad: THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO DRY OVERNIGHT!! *Picks up pieces and moves them to the heater
Me: I can just hand dry it
Dad: BUT THERES WATER VAPOR ARE YOU STUPID??? FINE!!! ITS YOUR PROBLEM!!!
