Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

To friend: "Yeah, I enjoy speedcubing, and my goal is to be sub-XX."

Next day: "Are you sub-XX?"

I know a guy who learned the cube a few weeks ago and is trying to get sub-1:00. He's learning F2L and everything, so I think he's serious.

*getting slow tps and locking up every 5 moves*
kid: bro how are you turning that fast

Or you take a while and they are like Woah ur so fast, and you decide if it is worth telling them your real average

So I was solving a cube in front of some people and I messed up my PLL so I had to start over. That sucked even more cuz it was a simple T Perm and I knew I had done it a lot of times before. anyway, I say I messed it up and start over. anyway I got the same T perm again. So I said, "Oh wow, I got the same case again" then a guy said, "No it's not. There's different colors". I didn't say anything and solved it

Also, they are like "Can I try your cube." I always don't know what to do, or how to politely say no.

I'm usually cool with people borrowing my UV coated GAN 12 Maglev, but I'll casually tell them, "Be careful, that cube cost me $75," and then they'll say, "Wait, what? Why is your cube so expensive?"

And with some, I'll be like, "Not this one please, I need to practice with it."

Yeah, I also make sure they don't have messy hands or that they aren't eating anything.

as my grand parents said about my megaminx when it was taken away, wheres his "hexagon cube"

 

[Deleted member 36445]

I remember how my younger brother (aka wannabe cuber)
found out this righty algorithm and made it so that you can resolve the cube when it is solved, and started showing his friends that trick telling them *hEy i SoLvED dA CuBe!!!!*

better than making a U move and saying: "look, I can solve the cube!" then undoing it :rolleyes:
literally all non-cubers

 

[Noob's Cubes]

I occasionally do some speedsolves in public places and people non-cubers always come up to me and are like "It's cool that you can solve that. I once solved three sides."

 

[White KB]

Who had those non cubers that say 20- second solves are fake and impossible

That was me. I made a conspiracy among the general population by hacking all McDonald's advertisements with subliminal messages. Each advertisement would have at least one frame saying the necessary propaganda and then people who were not cubers would get that notion in their heads. Cubers didn't notice and instead had the impulse to pick up the cube right beside them of course; that's why you didn't know about it.

And the ones that watch you do sub-5 2x2 solves and are like "How is that even possible"

Me: *solving a 2x2*

Non-Cubers: Is that a 4x4?

Me: No, it's not a-

"But isn't that a 10x10?"

 

[Noob's Cubes]

No its a 3x3 because look! it has 3 sides!

 

[CatSharked]

*Solves 3x3 quickly* - Me
"What's the algorithm?" - Non-cuber
"What do you mean, I know 5." - Me

 

[sDLfj]

I'm sure these have been mentioned, but I usually get:
"Once I solved that by turning it randomly."
"I just take the stickers off and put them back on."

 

[White KB]

"This cube is a WeiLong."
"That's what she said."
"audible facepalm"

Once, I was solving a 2x2 during recess at school. One of my friends came up to me and asked if he could borrow my cube. I said yes and so he took my cube. But then he tried to mimic my turn speed, and the cube EXPLODED, even the small internal pieces. It took me the rest of recess to put it back together.
