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

[Michael Womack]

There's luck involved. I don't like that...

It's just a matter of time until someone breaks the WR with a LL skip

Or faking the WR

Getting nervous and doing bad solves when there's a timer involved.

When you are sub-20 and get sup-30 times.
Twisttheweb.
People who get annoyed by cubing.
Not winning contests with really good cube prizes.

 

[Michael Womack]

Loosing your mains on the day or the night of a Comp. And thats why I have backups for most of them.

Non-cubers who think they know everything about cubing just because they can solve a 3x3.

Aren't Non-Cuber anyone who can't solve a 3x3.

Non-cubers who think they know everything about cubing just because they can solve a 3x3.

Did non-cubers turn into people who can solve cubes now?

 

[MirzaCubing]

I think he means they know how to solve a Rubik's Cube but they don't practice speedsolving it like we do I don't really classify those people as "cubers" either.

My little brother can solve a 3x3, and he's not a "cuber"

 

[Noahaha]

Just like how someone who just knows how to walk isn't really a runner.

Why TTW?

Why TTW?

1. Scrambles are too lucky
2. Glitches a lot on me.

 

[aceofspades98]

Almost sub 15, but get 15+ sup 20 solves in an average of 100.
Not understanding Phasing.
When I get an even worse time on a lucky scramble then I would on a hard one.
Your 3x3 average is way better compared to your average on any other puzzle.

 

[TMOY]

Non-cubers who think they know everything about cubing just because they can solve a 3x3.

Cubers who think they know everything about cubing just because they have learnt and practised the mainstream methods for a couple of puzzles and are able to go fast with them can be much worse.

 

[kcl]

Starting a great avg of 100.. And then starting to wear out making it crappy at the end.

 

[PeelingStickers]

Improving in massive jumps, then falling back for a couple weeks to return to that excellent average.

Someday y'all are gonna have babies and the fear of poop will be forever washed from your mind.

Poop is everywhere. Everything you eat has already been eaten and pooped many times and the natural world will continue this sequence long after you are gone.

The least dangerous poop on the planet is your own. Just before you pooped it, it was a part of you. Getting a little of it on you isn't going to be a problem.

Sometimes people end up taking antibiotics that eliminate the bacteria in their system. It's very painful to live like this, you need the bacteria to properly digest your food. So a traditional nurse's solution is to give them a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a little poop in it. Eighteen hours later they're magically all better.

Here's an article on a closely related subject (poop transplants) at the NY Times, the nation's leading newspaper:

Now, go enjoy your 5x5 and keep your knees together when you're solving in the bathroom.

This reminds me of why I wash my hands after a session scrambling people's cubes at a contest.

when people randomly post **** about ****. also, those fake posts about popping pieces into the toilet. no one believes those posts, but if you do... lol.

That would qualify me as a non-cuber...

I think it is my wife pressure!

the fact that the only people that i want to ad to my ignore list happen to be mods and all i get as a "Sorry ______ is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her."
