Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[RubikZz]

Today a man say that is impossible to solve de Rubik's cube in 6 seconds, he say 6 hours, why don't believe people it until say see it.
I let see the 6.77 from Faz and hee see it is accelerated (I know it is now 6.65 but I had no Wi-Fi there).

And I was doing the last two edges of the V-Cube 7 and I take my iPod touch and he say you cheats (I don't know it in English).
I hate if people that say, then you must still understand it.
The people who see that understand it not and they are frightened if they seen it.

Someone saw me solving my V-Cube 7, and he got reeeeeeeealy close to me and whispered in my ear,
"So... Whats the algorithim?"
I laughed at him, returning to my 7x7x7. When I finished, he said,
"You suck for a rookie"
I than proceeded to take his coffee and throw it onto him, and run...

Cool story.

This thread. She is for real stories.

I kind of lol when people say "I'd learn, but it's hard", because with all of these resources, it's just memorizing directions :T

 

[Narraeson]

Dude, how do you get it to move so fast?
"Lube.."
LOL YOU PERV! YOU F*** RUBIK'S CUBES!
-
And that's why I say a random foreign word and everybody just /blankstare's and walks away.

 

[AndrewRocks]

It may be shameless, but I've been guilty of sitting next to pretty girls on the train and solving it as fast as I can repeatedly until they comment on it. Then I go for the phone number.

I was solving my Megaminx in Carl's Jr when the manager comes out and gives me two cookies and a backpack, practically crapping himself.
The moral, cubing=cookies.

In the middle of RCMO today, this family walks into the hall and takes a look around. The dad goes like: there people are trying to solve the magic box puzzle!
Cuber: It's called a rubik's cube.
Dad: Oh! Can you get one colour? i can! It takes me about 5 to 10 minutes though!
Cuber: I can solve the entire thing. We all can.
Dad: Is it even possible? How many hours or days does it take you?
Cuber: Uhmm... We're all sub 30
Dad: ?
Cuber: It takes less than 30 seconds.
Dad: That's practically impossible. You think I'm stupid?
*Someone gets a 22.xx*
Dad: O_____o
Kid: He did it dad!
Dad: Let's see the other stalls at the fest! I'm hungry.

Us: Major :fp

That's an epic fail on that dad's part.

I solved cube in school and later when I typed fast on computer, one boy asked me if I can do it so fast because of practicing on my cube

Lol, it's interesting though, due to the fact that most cubers type on the keyboard a lot and cube a lot, the fingers are really fast and accurate.

Should put that into some sort of a more practical use.

 

[OMGitsSolved]

Who else gets this?
*Doing an
OLL or PLL algorithm*
"DUDE! You messed it up!"

That happens every time I take the bus and cube..

 

[sheep1234]

At school:
I'm solving a rubik's cube, and when I'm halfway through F2L, my friend grabs it, scrambles it, and yells, "Setback!"

Then, after I solved it again, a different kid says, "No you didn't solve it!" and scrambles it again.

SIDENOTE: Solving it during class can attract quite a big crowd. The teacher makes a note about how I'm solving it, and the next thing I know, 3/4 of the class is like, "OMFG HOW DOES HE DO THAT LET'S TIME HIM!"

Sorta like speedcubin?

 

[Narraeson]

Yeah, but speedcubing is looked down on, for the same reason that musicians are worshiped.
Speedcubing: "You spent so much time memorizing so many things and practiced till you're that fast? No life nerd olololol!"
Musicians: "You spent so much time memorizing so many things and practiced until you're that good? I love you!"

That's true, and sometimes that gets to me. However, I only really started to enjoy this hobby once I stopped caring what people thought about it
