Noobiest thing you've done?

[Tao Yu]

Got a 1/2 multibld at the Irish Champs last weekend because I forgot to flip an edge >__<

 

[RjFx2]

i thought I wasn't going to be able to go to another competition because I did worse in 2x2 in a comp than i did in the comp before

 

[G2013]

Still averaging 13-14 seconds after 7-8 years of cubing.......................

 

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

At my first (and currently only) comp, did a solve that almost lasted two minutes, because after I finished F2L, I realised that I did the cross all wrong. To make matters worse, because my mind had shot into panic-mode, instead of using a simple PLL alg or something to fix it, I rescrambled the whole cube and started over.

Yes, I'm cringing hard just thinking about it.

I made a really stupid thread on this forum once...

 

[josh42732]

Taking over 3 minutes to fix a simple centerpiece in a 7x solve. Granted, the time still would have been over 10 minutes, but still annoying.

 

[Berd]

In my first official mbld attempt, I didn't execute the last room of my memo resulting in the corners not being solved on my last cube. Doh!

Getting 3 +2s in the same official average.

lol I thought I was slow at improving after 3 years (same average)

Not knowing that there are different methods besides CFOP. I wish I chose Roux, but I don't think I want to put in the time to switch.

never too late to switch! I switched around your speed...

 

[DeeDubb]

clicking this thread. I knew I would regret it, but I still did it... So noobish.

 

[xchippy]

I didn't know anything about speedcubing and I thought f2l was just something you did for a challenge

 

[David10000]

Didn't know CFOP existed, or never bothered to learn until after 2 years of cubing. Now I have the people I taught bragging about how their progress is much faster than mine because of this.

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

Getting 3 +2s in the same official average.

I got a +2 AND a DNF. try me.

 

[molarmanful]

I got a +2 AND a DNF. try me.

Make that two.

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

Make that two.

I was shaking so badly! I was so nervous that I would get a DNF average in the first round. its so risky with roux...

 

[ketchuphater999]

Thought no cube could possibly be better than my vaseline-lubed rubik's brand

and yes, I seriously did think that and then I was like holy **** when I got a guhong

 

[cashis]

hmm. I get really sad about bad times.
also, I have a terrible habit of not only having bad timer starts, but Ill do 1 or two moves of the cross before I remove my finger from the spacebar
and habits are really difficult to break

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

I thought it was a good idea to try to be method neutral
Watch this video I just made it is kinda funny

Spoiler

Alright, method neutrality can be good, but you have to be great at all of the methods for it to work. You are better off practicing one method and getting good at that.
