Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Wow what a ******.. I never encountered any negative reactions towards me cubing... but then again i only started last september when i was 21 already.. I guess if i did it when i was like 15yo I might have gotten some of these reactions..
 
when im cubing a school people keep asking me if they can mess it up and then they do about 3 moves. also, they see me doing fingertricks and try do do it really fast and then drop it. even that can break a rubiks brand. one of my friends dropped a rubiks brand and is broke. sometimes they take my cubes without asking. some people stare at me cubing and then say ' did you just do that?' isnt is obvious that i did it if they were staring at me the whole time.

people keep coming up to me saying they can solve cubes when they cant even reverse 2 moves.

everyone thinks im weird cos i do cubes. that just makes them wierd.
 
people take my cube without asking alot and they try to solve it every day the same people like they learned a speedsolving method in one night
 
Today at uni I finally heard something intelligent from a non-cuber:
"The cube can be described with goup theory, right?"
I was happy, and had faith in the non-cuber community, if that exists :)
But then, later that day, when I was riding the train back home, a group of about 15 Dutch people joined and scattered over the train. A few of them were sitting within sight of me while I was solving my 7x7. When I was done, they actually clapped their hands for me. :fp

Now here's the catch: I actually know a great deal of Dutch. And here's what they said:
"Wow! That was fast!" (I solved the 7x7 in about 15 minutes)
"He's got a small one, too!" (When I got out my 3x3)
*general amzement and staring*

That's the kind of attention I hate...
On the other hand, it makes me really happy when I can explain what I am doing to people who really show their interest and give me the opportunity to share my love :)
 
"You have another one?!?!?!" (cube)


*Gets out megaminx*
"YOU CAN'T SOLVE THAT!!!! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!"
*Solves*
"YOUR A MASTER!!!"
*Thinks: No.*


"YOU'RE GOING TO FAIL!!!!!"
*Solves* "What did you say about me failing?"
"Erm... nothing... you're really good.."

Lol people these days.
 
I was trying to teach someone as school how to do it (it was the only way they would leave me alone) and they kept saying 'im stuck. can you do this bit for me?' people keep saying that they don't believe my pb is sub 10.

they keep saying its impossible to do it in less that 10s.

everyone asks me why there is a logo on one face.

everyone thinks is cheat.
