Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Also,

Can I ruin it?
Can I break the colours?

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

Everybody who I have given the great privilege to mess around with my Haiyan Memory, except for one person, has popped it. They still go crazy with it after saying a thousand times, "Don't break it." I say "break" because they don't know what pop means.

Me: It's called the sexy move. If you don't believe me, look it up.
Spaz: PERVERT!

EDIT: I also love it when people ask intelligent questions, or verify with me that something they think about the cube is correct, such as the pieces moving, not the stickers.

I'm surprised I haven't really seen this on the thread (although I'll admit I haven't read all 208 pages T_T).
My biggest annoyance is when they're like, "Oh I can solve it; let me see!"
*hand it to them, they rotate it once*
"Watch this!"
*they rotate it back*
Me: "Woooow, impressive!" :tu

I literally get that 95% of the time someone new sees me solve it.

Everyone treats me like a magician when I solve it, like it's fake and I have some sort of special trick that I won't reveal. But I can enjoy it most of the time and it's funny how nearly everyone reacts the same ways.

I often just get people that say they can solve it then they just mix it and run away (with my cube).

Me and my beginners method mate were cubing at lunch, and this happened ahahaha. (He doesnt know much about speedsolving lingo)



Me: Scramble this for me, please man.
Mate: Ok, sure, I'll solve it too?
Me: Na man, I'm gonna time myself.
Mate: Algood bro. *Scrambles* here you go, as impossible as I can make it.
Me: *Proceeds to solve it* "OMG PLL SKIP" (out loud).
Mate: Yeah, I hate it when that happens too....

meh people in my form class try to steal my cubes at school then they give it back to me with a internal pop inside my 2x2 :/

 

[Johnny.d.p]

sif you can solve that... I solve it... HORY SHET!

 

[SixSidedCube]

Probably because I put it on facebook too?

I get that a lot :/ but its not my 2x2x2. Its my Lubix GuHong, with everything pulled apart, including corners, edges and centres. Lucky they don't have a screw driver. D:

 

[JonWhite]

Yes, you are. You can't place logos on corner pieces (for the reason you've mentioned yourself).

3l) Cube puzzles must have at most one logo. For Rubik's Cube or bigger cube puzzles the logo must be placed on one of the centre pieces.

now I want my money back....... I never ever thought that this cube would be illegal in competition when I bought it

 

[maxim1914]

me: gives cube to friend at lab table
them: omg its so smooth what did you do to it?
me: i lubed it
*snickers from the whole table*

i have been getting lube jokes for 3 months cause i said that, all they think about is that other kind of lube......

 

[Magix]

Yeah you should probably say you oiled it or something.

 

[hic2482w]

I was solving on the subway, and I got a time of around 30 seconds. When I looked up, I realized this Spanish guy was filming me. He said in Spanish, "In seconds! Could be world record!"

 

[jrb]

When someone sees me with a solved cube, they say something like this,"Did you just buy that, or can you solve it?"

 

[whauk]

a friend of mine told me this story today:

he is cubing and pops an edge...
father: haha DNF!
he: no its not...
father: *touches edge piece* yes it is.

Lol, that's epic...plus his dad understands the rules, that's cool too!

 

[karlzhao314]

Non-cuber: How do you turn it so fast?
Me: It's a good cube.
Non-cuber: But in competitions, there are only bad cubes. Wouldn't this be cheating?

 

[Blablabla]

When I was in high school, a teacher saw me solve a cube, and told the other students that I could turn it so fast because I was left handed. It's one of the weirdest things I've heard about cubing so far...

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

I'm cubing after school and a kid walks up to me:
You're retarded, you know that. You're... you're retarded.
Yes, that is correct, Sam.
You're retarded... You're retarded... You know that?
Yes, yes, yes. I am quite proud of how you recognize these things.
You're so retarded.

 

[Luke Robinson]

I got this a few days ago:
I was at school cubing with my lanlan 2x2 and a guy walks up to me and picks it up and looks at it, seeing the logo on the yellow side he says "Hah you bought a cheap asian one, you should buy a good rubiks one.
