Worst Decision/ Idea you've ever had during your cubing career?

[theROUXbiksCube]

Starting with CFOP not Roux
Not being color neutral with Roux

Also, bringing my cube into school. Too much attention...

I have to agree with that :/

Not being CN. I thought solving only one color was the cool thing that fast people did xD. Fortunately I realized my mistake in time to branch out to yellow.

Me too. I am trying as hard as I can to switch. The past 3 attempts have failed! But this one will not...

"I'm going to buy a Rubik's Brand 4x4 for $20, because how bad can it be? It can't be as bad as people say it is."
I was sure wrong. Turning was painful, and being the stupid curious person I am wondering about the mechanism, I decide to pop an edge off. I didn't know about the new ridged anti-pop edges, so I broke a center piece and lost it.

Almost exact same thing happened to me, except I broke 3 different center pieces (1 red, 1 orange, 1 yellow). The red and orange ones I lost, and the yellow one is superglued together.
In addition, I decided to get a replacement 4x4x4 (moyu aosu). Ordered it back in late November, usps only started tracking it (STILL hasn't shipped) 3 days ago.

1) Not being full colorneutral from the start.
2) Learning full OLL so late.
3) Procrastinating on schoolwork so I could cube, but if I did my schoolwork first I would actually have had more time.

I was u-boat to say, you yacht to keep track of your puzzles if you want to be a destroyer of records. A lot of those frigate kids warship people like you, and will happily tanker cubes because they think it will be better than their junk. Canoe believe it?

This is honestly the best post ever written.
