People laugh at you because you cube?

[curious]

I can't recall getting laughed at for cubing, I've had people laugh from amazement, but not putting me down.
Most people are amazed, those who don't appreciate 30 sec solves,
they just don't care, and mind there own buisness.

I often take a puzzle to school, and I've noticed it's better not to take the same puzzle every day.
If you a 3x3x3 every day people lose interest and eventually think it's annoying
if you slowly build up from 2x2x2 to 7x7x7, and randomly insert pyraminx, megaminx, square1, etc. (no magic, it looks too easy and breaks too easily) people don't have the chance to get annoyed and laugh at you

Hmm... maybe your school is different. Everyone wants to touch my cube, especially after I restickered it. Though they would be more amazed if I got a bigger cube.

One problem is, how are you going to fit a 7x7 into your backpack, with the rest of your things, or am I mistaken about the size?

You are mistaken. It's not very big, but it is dense. I was amazed at how heavy it was and how small it is.

Think about the size of a megaminx, but squarer.

NO!! People laugh with me...

I go to an all boys school, so a ton of kids are stupid jocks, who cheat and stuff. A lot of kids are still o.k. though, and they just watch, but some are desperate for attention "25 seconds, you suck" kinda things. Also I've heard people say pretty mean stuff to their friends when the walk by me and think I can't here.

But Michael, you go to a genius school. Can't they all do it?

Ok, ok, I exaggerate a little....or a lot.

I hate cubing at school, I always get my cubes stolen and then beaten up. The worst thing someone ever did was steal my magic and slice it in half (so I sorta took some of their money to buy new strings lol) Oh and someone dropped my 6x6 on to concrete by a puddle of mud. I wish I never had to go to school.

 

[James]

I don't get laughed at. Most people at school think my abilities are amazing. But some of my friends think that cubing is a stupid waste of time and they ridicule me about it.

You shouldn't have to put up with that crap. I suggest you either stop taking your puzzles to school (if you haven't already), or you tell the fools hangin $hi'][' on you to get stuffed.
School isn't something you should hate.
if they still treat you like crap, create some sort of revenge plan.
get their locker combo, once your've done that your set.

The bit where you took their money is good!

I always get laughed.. From some idiots.. There are some smarter guys who even try to solve them and so on but some idiots hate cubes. When they laugh at me I used to say: (mostly those are smokers who hate them) Some people smoke on their free time.. some people do something else.

Now I don't take cubes to school.

Yeah, I only take small cubes to school now, eg. Floppy cube, 2x2 etc.
I only hate it because of all the idiots.
Everyone treats me like crap because they think I am 'weird'
Well I would, but we dont have lockers at school, we just have to carry all of our stuff around with us all day. One of my so called friends plays 9 instruments, and once, he had to carry his bag with all his books, bike helmet, clarinet, saxophone, food, music stand, and loads of other stuff.

 

[stevethecuber]

Most of the boys in my year are mostly me friends, And the others don't bother.
There are 7 cubers in my Grade and about 5 more in the whole school.

 

[powershotman]

maybe they say cubes are for kids,
i think i did get some strange attention from ppl in school

 

[theretardedcuber]

no one at school knows i cube. they wouldn't even care.

 

[Quaddro]

Noone at my school laughs at me, only sometimes a "nerd", but mostly they're like "cool" or "wtf"

 

[iChanZer0]

People just say cool and awesome but I hate people who take my cube and peel off the stickers. Also most of the people in my grade level don't hate me.

 

[ChrisBird]

Schools are pretty brutal these days, and it seems kids will do anything to be 'cool' or 'popular'. Which involves picking on people who have odd/different hobbies other then their own.

Most people at my school don't care/think it's interesting. But there is always a group of people with a 'ringmaster' who thinks it's so cool to come over, yell 'wat patetic nurd plays wit dis **** nemore!!?!one1" and attempt to solve it himself. Only to fail miserably and claim that I cheat.

One word, lol.

People never laugh at me because they figure i'll use my geek powers to get revenge or something.
