Yeah. Once a kid came up to me and asked if that was a speedcube. Turns out his big Brother was one too.

Me when I started cubing:
I'M SO FAST I CAN SOLVE A CUBE IN 3 MINUTES!

Me now:
I'm so ****ing slow I'm not even sub-15...

One time a friend came over and wanted me to tell him how to "fix" it...and expected me to tell him the "secret" in 2 minutes..

Another cried that cubing wasn't a hobby, its "just a group of people wasting their time trying to break a world record"....


:confused:

Same (except I averaged 2 when I first solved one ). I don't see what's so hard about sub-15: if you average 60 moves, you should only need 4 TPS. I can do 10 TPS on T perms. But I can't get more than ~3.5 on most solves...

Non-cuber :I went to a tournament once, I won it all! I do it in like, 10 seconds
Me: *Hands him a cube*
Non-cuber: *turns R and L layers stupidly*

Also...

Non-cuber: I took off the Stickers once (ive heard this too many times)

However...

I got two ex-non-cubers to learn a beginners method. One averages 1:05, the other never finished learning (his PanShi's corner stalks broke)

Unfortunately...

Non-cubers:*looks at 2x2* dat 4x4
Non-cubers: WR is like 10 seconds

epic facepalm

One of my friends today told me to not use my "generic" cube (Fangshi v2) and instead to go buy a Rubik's brand cause it's better...really.

That always happens with my friends, they think that the Rubik's brand is better :fp

I average 35s
So my friends handed over a 3 year old rubiks brand and I totally failed.
People think that the rubiks brand cubes are the best.
Also I tried to solve my friends Rubiks professor cube and now my hands feel like cobblestone.

Ugh I had a Rubik's 5x5. Terrible thing. I solved it once and never ever wanted to play with it again.

My zhanchi once popped in school. This kid was twisting it really hard, and it exploded. He started groveling and saying sorry, and asked me how much it costs. He's a really mean guy, so I said 30 bucks. And that's how I got my fangshi and moyu weilong
Looking back, I wonder why he even offered to pay me back, cause he's that nasty.

Sounds like he's not really that mean, but you are?
