What is the worst/most annoying thing in speed cubing?

[Tyjet66]

I hate the fact that I can't stick with this hobby. It comes in waves, and each subsequent wave lasts a shorter time than the previous. I really enjoy it, but I just can't keep with it.

cold hands and parents that take cubes away because of bad grades.

The acronym COLL.

Why?

Getting Parity on a solve that should be a PB if there was no Parity

YES.

when parents get mad at you for cubing.
Or when they tell you that you can only cube say, for example, 10 minutes, so you start a different timer, one that counts down and beeps when the time is up, and they then yell at you 7 minutes in saying that your time is up and that you're an ignorant brat and only care about yourself, not what anyone else says/wants.
not that that would ever happen to me though.

Why?

Because it makes no sense. It can't be Corners Of Last Layer, or Corner Orientation Last Layer, because neither describes the alg set accurately. COLL solves the corners of the last layer while preserving edge orientation.

Once again. THIS. YES.

Oh. Yeah. Pi nubs. Forgot 'bout dat.

One of the best things about cubing though is Chris Olson

Johnathon Brechonathon, Albert You, Ranzha, and Natarie are pretty awesome too.

If it's 'Corners Of Last Layer' then, that works. Because it is solving the corners of the last layer. Would you like the abbreviation to be: 'COLLPEO'? (Corners Of Last Layer Preserving Edge Orientation)

But we already have CLL for Corners of the Last Layer.

I got cut on my finger. Now I have a bandage on the knuckle so I can barely bend it. My times are really slow.

Same or if the cut on the otherside of the fingernail

Lockups are now the most annoying thing that bugs me

 

[Cubinguy]

When you destring your magic when you try to go fast

 

[Guitarcam96]

Lock ups and butchering algorithms are the bane of my existence.

COLL is actually CLL. But it's not a subgroup of CLL. Is there a name for the relation of COLL to CLL? Like COLL is a subgroup of ZBLL, and COLL is a ... of CLL.

edit: sry it's not obvious what I'm referring to. It's from 1 or 2 pages ago

I would say it is kind of an extension, since many algs are based on the same concept and more pieces are preserved.
