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

When you are on a really good roll, then you have to go somewhere... When you get back, your hands are cold and you can't cube anymore. :(
 
When this happens:

Me: *standing around in school, random solving 3x3 for fun*
Non-cuber: *sees me moving really fast* Hey, I can solve that! *rips cube out of my hands, turns one side, turns it back* SEE?
Me: *takes cube back* Well, okay, so I guess you can solve it if I mix it up... *scrambles cube and gives it to non-cuber*
Non-cuber: You ***hole!

Yes, this actually happened.
 
-G Perms
-Nasty Pops
-Lack of Physical Stores
-Learning new thing and not getting faster
-Not being Feliks Zemdegs Or Mat Valks
but on the bright side I bet I could beat them in basketball
 
When an edge piece pops while you are scrambling and hits you in the face.
Also, EO lines. They take too much time! (all of my inspection time and 15s out of the 45s it takes me to do a ZZ solve)
and CFOP
 
When you're at WR pace, and then your cube explodes, or you get a +2 after you finished.
Kevin Hays has gotten these cases for 6x6 and 5x5.
 
Looking at the timer, seeing that the solve will be really good and then screwing up
Same as that bro
also not being faz or mats but i could beat them in soccer or cricket or tennis or table tennis or badminton or studies though ( i am obssesed with sports and cubes) LOL

Locking up on my 5x5 which kills my solve. If it locks up, it bandages so badly... I normally need about half a minute to release it.
Now that's really, really annoying.
 
that being of by a single M slice is a DNF. WAC, Y U HATE ROUX USERS? i mean, it is only one one finger trick away from being solved (like a U move) but they still count it as two separate moves. nobody even does M as R r' anymore. the wca needs to use STM.
 
No competitions close to me (Oregon is not a good cubing state, lol. The closest competition to ever come to me was a 2+ hour drive away. On the bright side, though, it means that even though I am pretty slow, I am ranked 4th in the state for 3x3 single.)
When my cube overturns and either locks up or screws up my algorithm
When I have an amazing F2L, look at the timer, then screw up the last layer
Non-cubers who just make the most *****ic comments
N-perms (Hate those things)
When I get a horrible run of solves and it just basically ruins my entire day
 
Things that annoy me:

-The fact that I get hot hands after spending half an hour cubing
-Pops where one of the pieces hits you in the face/neck/private parts
-Stickers which peel/chip
-Cleaning out cube dust
-The fact that Mom doesn't like me pulling my cube open to clean it out because she thinks I'll break it
-Screwing up because I saw that I was getting a good time
-Screwing up because I broke my PB on the previous solve
