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

[pipkiksass]

I know similar examples have come up before in this thread, but I had a 24 move f2l ending in an unforced OLL skip leading into an H perm with no AUF... in an untimed solve!

Would've been a PB by a mile. Even slow turning it was probably sub 15!

Grr.

When I am out somewhere, bored and try to do some solves and people stare at me. That or people claim I am trying to "show off". Their hobby is facebook on their phones, mine is cubing, I don't see a difference.

When you're solving something that takes a really long time to finish and your friend/s borrow it and rotate random sides.

When people say they can solve it faster than you can, and you give them the (solved) cube, then they turn a side once, and turn it back and say, "World record!!!"!!

Yup, that's why I always scramble it before handing it to people

I just do M2 E2 S2. It looks so simple, but they can never solve it without me giving help (like only use 180 degree turns).

My 2 least favourite things:

1. Scrambling - when I win the lottery I'm getting an assistant whose sole purpose in life will be to hand me scrambled cubes

2. "It's quicker to just take the stickers off. Ha ha". That wasn't funny the 1st time I heard it. It's not funny this time.

When you use cubing terms by accident and have to explain them all.
Me: Yeah I got a 10.36 PLL skip with 6.48 TPS on my weilong.
Them: Wat
Me: I got a 10.36 second solve that was 6.48 turns per second which happened to skip the last part of the... nvm

agreed.

I hate it when sticker colors change due to lighting.
My light blue stickers look turquoise in my school.

When you are solving in a bus and people just stare at you and if you turn to look at them, they will look away

When you get triple parity on an amazing 6x6 solve

How is that annoying?

It's just a kinda awkward situation

 

[Ultimate Cuber]

When pieces pop during what would have been a record time!

And it looks like you're just trying to show off. lol

Yeah especially when you only have like two moves left :/ That happened to me ones. I was testing my Zhanchi without torpedos. I was getting good time and then in the end of Y perm it popped to my face

And it looks like you're just trying to show off. lol

How my message would be different from other messages in this thread? I just tried to tell my thoughts :/ I know it's kinda fun to show up to other peoples because you can do something cool but still.

Things that I hate the most:
-Classmates that drop my cubes;
-Getting an Y perm(it may sound funny, but I have a lot of trouble recognising it);
-Having a 5x5 or a 7x7 pop;
-Silly questions from people, like „How do I move that piece there?";
-Bad jokes like doing an U turn and reversing it. They really think they're funny while foing that;
-Getting a PLL or OLL skip on awesome solves or getting a dotted OLL and G perm after great F2L;
-People that ask me to show them how do I solve it and after one minute they get bored or they don't pay attention to me.
