People laugh at you because you cube?

there is this one kid in my class that says 'hah look at dion with his cubes haahaa' nobody laughs onlyhe.... but he always wants to try a cube that isn't a regual 3x3(megaminx or something) but I always reply screw you idiot nobody thinks your funny and then hes shuts up :)
 
I never once got laughed at? That's silly. It sounds like a defense mechanism of some jealous immature individual.

I rarely ever solve it in public anymore. I hate that feeling of somebody watching me solve it. I feel like I have to solve differently when I'm watched and it breaks my flow. For example I usually scramble Right away after finishing the PLL. But you can't do this in front of people or they won't notice the cube is solved. And in that case I'm afraid they are thinking that I'm an idiot and just can't solve it. Or something.

I also hate hearing people talk about me solving the cube or watching me together and hear them talking about it.
"I always just pealed the stickers off"
"OMG NO way me too! You are so funny. and clever. ha ha ha"
"ha ha ha"

Or worse, people come up to me and ask me what the trick is. Or how I do it. Or if I can show them. Only bad things happen.

I like when I see other people who are not bothered by any of this cube in public. Its nice to see cubing spread. I also noticed a LOT of cubes everywhere while doing my Christmas shopping this year. This is good :)

I was coming back from Dallas on the train yesterday solving it and had a family next to me. The little girl was watching me solve and I felt that I had to pause every time I solved it and rotate the cube like I wasn't sure that I had solved it and I needed to check every sticker. Anyway, her dad didn't see me solve it about 25 times during the 15 minute ride. I saw we were pulling in so I solved it for the last time and just then he turned around and saw it solved and said "Well, you finished that right on time", assuming I had been working on it for the whole 15 minutes.

I just said, "yeah, guess I did", instead of "yeah, for the 25th time."
 
I always cube at school. If i don't I would fall asleep of boreness.

People haven't laughed at me.... yet.

I always sit in the school café and the're is always being a huge crowd... don't know why.

I like cube on the bus/train too. here in sweden if you cube everybodys eyes is fixed on you. that's is what i've recognised.
 
I cube at school all the time.
I've actually got quite a few people back into cubing, like they could solve it but now they want to get faster :)
 
Most people on my school who see me cubing say somthing like:"Oh my God, how can you do that so quick?" or *applause* "very nice"

Some people who know me because of the cube, see me and say:"Hey, that's rubik!"

But nobody laughes at me :) (not that I know of)
 
Heh, I decided to bring my cube to Disney World thinking I can keep myself occupied while waiting in line. It worked out the only time I pulled out the cube was waiting for my girlfriend outside the washroom at Animal Kingdom.

Little kids started to stop and watch me cube; feeling encouraged, I asked onlooking kids if they'd like to scramble the cube for me to solve. A mom was very amused and impressed by this.

And I've started a bit of a cube fad at work -- my boss and boss's boss starting cubing in October/November and we even had given away cubes as morale event prizes.

Haha, it's been a lot of fun watching all of this happen!
 
everyone at my school think 'that's aweome', nobody real laughs at me, apart from my friend who says i'm too obsesed with them, but i just come back with something about him being on COD 24/7

actualy i think my DT teachers are getting a bit tired of me distracting others with cubing, but not many people do stuff in them lessons
 
My teacher has a rubiks cube and one day i was in his office waiting for my friend and i picked it up and solved it (i cant stand an unsolved cube).
then he video recorded me solving it and he played it in assembly infront of the whole year and a load of other teachers.
People in my year ('grade' if your american) dont even believe that i did it. They come up with some ludicrous suggestions that i edited the video or memorized the moves. The latter seems common but it was like 60 moves at least and i cant BLD!
Long story short, noone laughs at me because i cube. Well i hope not...
 
Most people waver between thinking it's nearly impossible to solve a rubik's cube or thinking that there is some easy 4-move combination when repeated will solve it. I'd say most people fall into the first group.
 
LOL! the kids younger than me look up to me, but the kids in my grade and my brother despise me. They like, "get a life!" or "Why do you play with a stoooooooopid plastic cube?" I just respond saying "I know its stupid, so lets see you do it." they tense up and say "w-we-well.... ummmm... i- its too stupid for me to p-p-play with it." then they walk away. hahaha
 
I guess my school is pretty good. No raging retards, but some populars who would probably mock me, if they were the aggressive-posse-gang type. But I did a BLD for a group of girls (they roam in groups at recess, the boys are either playing basketball or roam in 2's or 3's). They were like "Oh, one block aw-Oh, you messed it-Oh, there it-oh, not ag-oh!" And I was making the last move, and they were super silent, and then exploded right after. Then my principal came out, and I solved a 28 seconder. So no, people don't laugh at me, usually :)

I went from a 60 seconds solver to a 6 seconds solver in one day! Warning things are not as they seem. You might laugh.
