Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

lol pandadude


i was practicing and this group of people come up to me and are like "how do u do it so fast? etc" and one of them said "can i throw it up for u?" :fp

took all my energy to stop myself from dying of laughter....
 
I am labeled the rubik's cube guy, at my school, as well. What frustrates me is that I have a good friend that used to be really into cubing his freshmen year(about a 30 second average), and back then, he was the cubing guy. I hate that when I cube, people ask me if I know him, then they don't shut up about him being faster than me when my average is faster than his pb. Its not that I care if he were faster, its just that I DONT GIVE A CRAP, and even when I don't respond to their comment, they say it again, just to make sure I heard.
 
Luckily I'm not "The cube guy" at my school. I'm just the "Oh hey, it's that guy. Can't he solve a Rubik's Cube or something?" Because I wasn't cubing until January 2011, cubing isn't my whole reputation.

So I brought my unstickered 3x3 to school today in place of my normal one. In every single class, even after I told them I just use it to keep my hands busy as I'm naturally antsy/anxious, someone said to me "How do you know what you're doing if it's all gray?" :fp (I had a gray cube) Sometimes people are too simple-minded. Or maybe they think too much because they actually thought I was trying to solve an unstickered cube. >__>
 
Once I was cubing and this guy said "Can you solve it?"
Me (as i was solving it)"Yes"
him after I solve it: "now the trick is to do it in under 5 minutes"

And once at a meetup as we where doing pyraminx this kid asked "Did you make that?"
 
At schoold about a week ago.

My friend to some girl: Hey this kid can solve a rubik's cube!
Girl: Wow your fast. Isn't the world record like 28 seconds.
Me: No it's 5.6 seconds.
Girl: No I'm pretty sure it's 28 seconds.
My friend: Well his record is 16!(true statement)
Me: It's 5.66, I know.
Girl(while walking away): No, it's 28 seconds, I know the person with the world record!
Me: . . . . .(holding back laughter)

To be honest, I really hate it when some of my friends do that.
Or my parents.
 
So I was discussing with my friend in school about 2x2 breaking in methods (I was racing him 2BLD v 3x3 OH, yes he's that slow) and mentioned chucking it at a wall.

Few mins later one of my other friend asks for my 2x2 stating it's easy as per usual.
Next thing I know, he chucks it at a wall with a full-force cricket throw so hard that the inner stalks broke off and the core arms too. His excuse, "you said it's good for the cube".
Two lessons learnt from this; never give a non-cuber your 2x2, and never let non cubers overhear your conversations.

In fact ive lose five 2x2s this way. I will have to buy more (for multiblind two. I mean too.)
I hope that UK speedcube shop gets sorted out soon.
 
Where do I start..

I get a pop, and even as I put it back together scrambled they go "Omg cheater olol!"
After I solve in ~ 20 seconds: " Huh!?!?! I though u could solve it in 5 seconds!!
"He has one si.. WHAT? SOLVED?"
You are the master!
"I can do one in 10 minuites!" me: I can do one in 15 seconds
Hey you're the guy that can do one really fast!
"How do you do that?" me: I turn it.
My favorite: * starts scrambling "Woah ur so fast!!" me: I'm scrambling it >_<...
 
"Don't look at me scrambling it"
"I can scramble it the way nobody can solve it"
"Solving it is not a big deal, you just memorized a lot of moves" ("moves" meaning algs I think :D)
"I just use a hammer to solve it"
"You're a geek"

:)
 
Within one school lunchtime I had 4 teachers and 5 friends ALL say that they just peel the stickers off and put them back on... one person is okay for me. But 9 is taking the P**s

A seperate instance I'm walking out of school gates, just finished a solve (whilst the teachers on duty were looking) One of them says "can you actually solve that?" *facepalm*

Doing some solves at lunchtime in the common room. Guy says "Can't people like do that one handed in 8 seconds" -.-

Broke a record in common room one day and got exited about it (smashed my previous by 4 seconds) Guy says to me " was that a world record" ... "no" ... "I thought it was like 30 seconds"... "It's 5.66" *facepalm*

MANY MANY more... xD
