Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

My Ultimate Reply to That: "It's better to be smart than to be stupid, living in a damn dumpster, and be UUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH WUT? "
I just got this one:

Friend:Lemme scramble that.
Me: Here
Friend: Dude, it's so LOOSE!
(Whoever hasn't gotten this with an Eastsheen needs a slap)

Friend:You should get a 10 by 10.
 
I was in Target, looking at their 360s. I was attempting to solve one hemisphere still in the packaging.
So this employee walks up, says, "What do you think you're doing?"
I reply, "Hey man, I'm just solving it."
"You can't use something you haven't bought."
"Uh, it's technically still in the package, and your logic is wrong. Take those...-looks around-...Elmos over there. On the packaging, it says 'Try me.' And customers do. Why is this any different?"
He walks away.

PWNED.

Yes! I am supported.
 
Sigh, today I was in National Geographic after a cubing meet up, I pick up a cube they have on display, and solve it, probably sub 20. 2 shopkeepers come over, and say "WOW," I just shrug, and I'm about to walk out, when the guy starts saying crap.

"Hey, do you work for Rubik's?"
"What?"
"It's just we had a person from Rubik's here the other day, showing us the product."
"No, I don't."
"He came in and passed me this (points to 3x3) and said mess it up. I messed it up for about 5 minutes, really well, and then I passed it back to him."
"And?"(not seeing the relevance of this)
"He took one look at it, put it behind his back, and solved it in 36 seconds."
"I find that hard to believe..."
convo goes on for a while, while I explain bld, and memo. Then,
"Do you have the 10x10?"
"What?"
The 10x10 Rubik's cube."
"There isn't one."
"There is, but they cost like, $1000."
"Rubik's?"
"Yeah."

He also asked me about many other puzzles that didn't exist, and then I pulled out my Square-1, and he said,
"What did you do to that one? Is it broken?"

:fp
There was loads more, but this was the main parts.
 
The same gangster pothead guy from my earlier post walks up to me yesterday with an iPod.
GPHG:Here solve this
*I see a 2x2 on the screen*
Me:Okay thats easy.
*I start solving it*
GPHG's friend:Isn't it harder because it's 8?
Me:No it's easier.
*I continue solving*
GPHG:Why's it taking you so long then?
Me:It's hard to work with the touch screen.
*After about a minute and a half(people were distracting me,the touch screen was hard to work with, and i don't have a real two by two so i don't know any methods.)
Me:I finished.(show screen)
Everyone else: Dayum
Lets just say geometry has a lot of things that could go on this thread :D
 
My friends like to wait until the timer hits 7.09 seconds and then proclaim, "There goes the world record!"

Hopefully one day they won't be able to say that :P
 
Like, 2 years ago I was learning and watching the 3x3 tutorial. Then my sister saw and said its not "solving" if you use algorithms and that's "cheating". When I would solve it in front of people, my sister would come up from behind and say "He's cheating, he had someone else teach him with these codes that make you cheat. It's only considered "solving" if you learned it yourself. The world record has to be done with no codes'.:fp
 
Stupid Friend: How do you solve that thing so fast?
Me: Finger Tricks
SF: You can't do finger tricks! Prove it!
Me: ... Do you even know what a finger trick is?
SF: ... no
Me: So I could've done anything and you wouldn't have known the difference
SF: JUST SHOW ME!
Me: *Flips him off*
 
A random child at school;

Child: Woah. What's that?!
Me: A rubik's cube.
Child: Can I have a go?
Me: Meh. K.
*plays for a bit*
Child: Solve it!
Me: *solves cube* done.
Child: Can I buy it?
Me: Wat...
Child: I like it.
Me: Sorry, but no. I've had it for ages and it's awesome.
Child: How much was it?
Me: About £10. Why?
Child: Why would you buy something like this for £10?
Me: Well...
Child: Rip off. *hands cube back*
Me: Well that's your opinion.
Child: You're an idiot. Why would you waste money like that.
Me: Well that's your opini-
Child: Just spend your money on like a car or something.
Me:...
Child:*walks off*

Seriously. I didn't know what to say.

You shouldn't say anything.
When I tell people how much the V-cubes were, they always ask me "Why would you spend that much on cubes?"

"Because it's what I do, it's what I like, and it's something better than a video game"

It's not that. It was the fact he told me that I should buy a car instead of a cube.
