Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

*Takes out 7x7 for Weekly Comp*
Cousin: Lemme mix it up.
Me: Sure.
*Proceeds to solve it in 6:0x.xx, quite a bad time*
Cousin: *Impressed but trying hard not to show it* That was quite slow.
Me: It was. (I was being truthful)
Another cousin: I can do it too, but I need a big table.
First cousin and me: Wai?
Another cousin: To take it apart and put it back together :trollface:
First cousin and me: DAFUQ
 
talking while doing R U R' U' on my new cube.

cousin to other cousin: He can do it without looking :O

not really the darndest thing to say, but lol. sexy move is sexy. :D
 
Today I was cubing in my uncles car. Him and are band mate were there and I pulled out my cube my uncles seen me solve it but our bandmate she hasnt. So I tell them to go ahead and mix it up. I do about 55 second solve and the cube popped.
Bandmate(girl): OMG!
Uncle: Thats totally gonna get you laid!
Bandmate: Yea it is!
 
I am doing some 2x2 solves in my math class and all the people crowd around me in the last 5 free minutes and they are like, "man you're stupid! Even I can solve eat dumbo cube!" I get my megaminx from my bag and they're like, "50 bucks if you can solve that!" so I do and they say "do it if I mix it!" so I do and they just say the same stuff. Yes it pisses me off when they call 2x2's, 4x4's.
Oh and if you use white cubes then be prepared for, "that isn't a real rubiks cube! That's a ghetto cube!" *facepalms*
 
Noncuber names for different cubes
2x2: baby cube/4x4
3x3: rubiks cube
4x4: big cube/hard cube
5x5: edison cube/really big cube
Pyraminx: triangle
Megaminx: octagon(I don't know why but they call it an octagon)
2x3x3: broken cube

Did you end up getting the 50 bucks? :P
No they say I would spend it on cubes (which is true) or say dumb stuff like "nope, I had my fingers crossed!"

That awkward moment when a non-cuber overhears you talking with a friend (who is also a cuber) about the sexy move, and then demands an explanation. x.x

Or worse yet, when they hear you say you'd be able to do the sexy move faster one-handed if you had some decent lube...

How would you explain it? I don't really know how I would.

lol
how did that name come about anyway... just wondering
It's sexy? :rolleyes:

That was hilarious. In sweden, kub (cube) sounds like kuk, which means the other thing you can use with one hand. All non cubers talk about Rubik's kuk when they try to be funny -.-'
 
I hate it when I give my friend to scramble and decides to take a piece out and flip it then twist a corner, then gives it back when I'm talking to other people and then I attempt to solve it then i have to take out the piece and twist the corner and then everyone around me accuses me a cheater.

How I make my way around this i go to my friend (also a cuber uses beginner method) and make him solve it and then when it comes to the parity i give them a long,time wasting lecture on how 1 piece cannot be flipped and then another one for the corner twist and then they just shut up and never flip a piece again. True Story
 
1 month ago:
Me: (cubing)
Parents: Can't you do something other than solving that thing?

2 weeks ago:
Me: I've signed up for a cubing competition.

Now:
Me: (doing something other than cubing)
Parents:Why aren't you practicing solving the cube?!
Me: *facepalm*
 
Then he finally points me to the blindfolds. Then I go to a store called "toys toys" and I ask if they have bigger versions of the cube (I show them the cube). They get a Rubik's 4x4 and 5x5 and then I made a such a face that the store clerk got scared. She asked if they weren't big enough for me after seeing my face but then I said, "It's not the size I'm concerned about, it's the quality and smoothness of the puzzle." Then she asked, "But isn't Rubik's brand the highest quality cube there is?" I couldn't stop laughing after I left the store (because of the face I sub-consciously made.)

those stores never have anything bigger than a 5x5... or anything bigger than a 3 when im there lol. for anything other than 3s, i go to Upper Canada Mall, they have a whole store pretty much dedicated to different kinds of cubes... and i heard speedcubes can be found in chinese malls such as pacific mall
