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

[CarlBrannen]

when you're not sure if you accidentally twisted a corner or not during the scramble.

I agree with this, but when I'm using Prisma I can check with the cube image to see if something's twisted.

Always getting a counting crappy solve official.

Happened to me for all my events at Caltech Winter 2013

 

[Noahaha]

When you just started cubing even though you could have been cubing all this time.

 

[JasonK]

How do you get 3 sub 5 solves in a row?

Because I average sub-5...

Exactly!

When you pop during a really fast solve that could've become a PB

When you let someone play with a cube (Zhanchi) and they peel the stickers off and joke about it!

non-cubers who think they know a lot about solving just because they have a rubix's cube at home, pops on big cubes, trashed stickeres, and lack of competitions in my area.

Um, you spelt "Rubik's" wrong after complaining about non cubers not knowing anything about the cube. :fp

Bad cubes
Second block
Non-cubers

 

[Zamulacz]

- non cubers
- pops
- cool hands
- locks up
- no progress in long time
- learning algs (I really hate that)

reassembling even layered puzzles, those stupid little internal pices that never want to go back.
bld memo.

A would be 4x4 PB but after you stop the timer, you notice the adj swap in the back.

 

[SenileGenXer]

Forgetting a well known and well practiced alg. Going back to your old notes and realizing you didn't write down the way you have been actually executing it.

its spelt like that in some countries

 

[uniacto]

Chipping stickers less than a week after replacing them. that really makes me annoyed.

 

[Julian]

A tiny bit of sticker that distracts you and messes up the flow of your solve.

 

[elrog]

I've already posted, but I thought of 2 more things I really don't like. Stickers (I use tiles) and the rubiks magic that has a single solution that works every time.

I was under the impression people spelled their names the same way whichever country they were in...

When Non-Cubers say that all it is one move you do over and over again, but when you try to convince its not they never listen :\
