Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Last night I walked up t the register at Taco Bell and asked if I could solve my 3x3x3 in under a minute could I get a free taco. The cashier got the manager and she said that I could Have two, because she had never seen it done. I got a very quick solve and the manager was amazed. She went around the kitchen yelling "Did you just see that?" and "That was awesome!" I happily left Taco bell with three free tacos.
Not really a darnedest thing but It fits in here. :D

You just conned Taco Bell out of 3 tacos!

anyway, people will ask me what my fastest time is - I say 15 seconds. Then they scramble it, and time me. When the timer comes to 15 seconds they go 'aww, you didn't beat your record'. Then I finish with an about average time and they say "Hey, I guess I scrambled it real good!"

I also have people mix up my 2x2 so that there are no 2x1 blocks, then get disappointed when i can't solve it super fast.
 
A few weeks ago:

noob: "How fast can you do it now?"
me: "About 3 seconds, why?"
noob: "Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!factorialfactorial How do you do it so fast!?"
me: "Get some paint and dip each side in a different colour."
 
Violin teacher before concert: if you practiced playing the cello as much as you practiced that you would be world famous already.

Also one of my friends once picked up my cube only for it to crumble into pieces. I sometimes wonder how i cope...

World famous cuber vs world famous musician?...hmmm...hard choice to make. Got any samples of you playing the cello btw?

Some of my teachers say that.

My Zhanchi has popped 3 or 4 times at school. Luckily, hardly anyone saw me do it.

I once warmed up for a Maths test by doing a few solves. :P Hey, it's maths based! (That's what my teacher thought, so I got away with it)
 
I can solve that.
Show me
first, solve it. (solves it)
(does R U until it is solved again) dafuq?
 
"Don't look while I mess it up, you can memorize the turns"

and

"is that a rubit cube?"

Last week, I was showing my mother how I do the cube and when I was just about tosay an algorithm, I did a 3 second pause because cube locked up. Then I said the two moves (F U), then out of no where a hand comes across my face...

LOL now that's funny right there.

I always get (when someone scramble it for me then I solve it) "I must not have scrambled it very well."

As if the quality of the scramble determines whether or not I can solve it.
