Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[Phafor]

"A friend of mine has a 8x8 and a 16x16."
That's what a guy said next to me to his friends while is was solving 5x5.

*pop* 'Oh no, you broke it' :O

 

[DW9550]

'I could probably do it in an hour if I tried'

 

[WinterCub3r]

Most of all the things that have been said have happened to me, but there are a few I'd like to mention.
A couple of weeks ago at school I was solving my Zhanchi when a girl from my class asked if she could have a go, before practically ripping it out my hands. I normally let non-cubers use my Rubik's store-bought but I decided to let her keep it for a bit. About half an hour later she turned to me holding out the cube and asked if I could catch, to which I replied that I'd rather not. She then threw it, OVER ARM AT MY RUCKSACK on my desk! It hit my bag, hit the table and bounced onto the floor before being picked up by my non-cuber friend. When I got it back I found it was luckily unharmed but it annoyed me how inconsiderate people can be with other people's stuff.

A workmate, on noticing that I was solving a 4x4 instead of my 3x3, "Yeah, they all had 4 bits when they first came out."

 

[WinterCub3r]

finally heard someone (my friend) call my 2x2 "a four cube" and then continue to call my 3x3 "a nine cube"...

Hey, at least your friend is consistent! If someone calls a 2x2 a "four cube" and a 3x3 a "three cube", THEN there's a problem.

I was solving at school and a kid came up to me and said "My friend is so fast at that! He can do it in 10-15 minutes!" I then did it in 15 seconds and he just stared at me.

I was solving my stickerless Zhanchi at school, before homeroom, and somebody walked up to me and said that he could do it in three minutes. I thought that was somewhat impressive, as I am the only cuber I personally know. I tossed him the cube, having scrambled it when he was talking. He ran away. 5 minutes later, he ran back to me and said something among the lines of:
"Your cube must be rigged, man! It doesn't turn slow enough, I can't peel off any of the stickers, and I don't even see the right logo!" I solved it, while he replied something among the lines of "Cheater"

 

[WinterCub3r]

when they pop your cube, put it back together wrong, you then have to fix it mid solve, and they accuse you of cheating.

I was solving my cube (LBL) while my friends r watching ,then after i solved it they said 'How did u do that?' The other one said 'U must have scrambled ur cube so that you will just retrace ur moves' (I scrambled it randomly)

 

[Destro]

When I showed them my pocket cube they said 'pfffft,thats easy' So i gave my cube to my best friend after I scrambled it. After 10 minutes , she got angry at me and said 'did u made it unsolvable?' Then i retrieved my pocket cube and solved it. My other friends said 'Did u cheat?'

 

[IRNjuggle28]

I got a 20.00 average of 100 right as my mom was telling me to go do something, so I said "no way, I'm so close to a sub 20 AO100." Her response? "But 20.00 is a round number. That's perfect. Just stop there."

"I heard that you can solve it under 15 minutes!!"

 

[Blurry]

"I bet you peel the stickers!"
"Wow, that looks so much easier!" (Referring to 2x2) I then hand them the cube scrambled and they can't do it.
"Haha, you're so slow. I can do it in 10seconds!" This one was fun. I put the cube into the checkerboard and give it to him to solve, the cube was handed back to me with the reply "I can do it, but my hands hurt and there are so many moves to solving it" - Proven wrong by me slowly solving it..


When I pulled out my 3x3 from my pockets, my almost empty 'Emergency' Maru Lube came out, (I have it just in case somebody want's to challenge me to beat them) "Ew, Why do you have M-A-R-U L-U-B.... What? Why do you have LUBE in your pockets.. Proceeds to laugh and chuckle"..

Non-cubers either think it's so easy they can do it, or think it's harder than the 3x3. Or they say I'm cheating by doing the easy one (how is that even cheating?)

I solved a 2x2 in 1minute then the person nxt to me said "amazing"
