What Irks you most?

I absolutely HATE when I'm 2 miles into the woods on hiking trails and there is precious caching space wasted on micros. You could successfully hide a car in some of the places I hike, yet I repeatedly find my self searching for incredibly long periods of time for a film container. Put some thought into your cache and make it truly worthwhile for those who are willing to make the journey to it.

+ 5 000 000

I liken it to putting a used bus ticket in a cache as swag.

Yes. I've come to grudgingly accept pill bottles in urban settings (why spend $10 on a container which will likely be muggled), but re-used deli containers and micros deep off road, that's just being cheap.

It's probably already been listed but just for fun ...

TB hotel hitlers.

The D of E mob handed descending enmass (60+ and it says so in the log) to a few caches. And yes I can give examples but ...

Know it all toe jam munchin pig f ... those people who then proceed to imagine (using said examples) that they know how it all went down even though they live on another continent.

A D of E person who has 5 finds and is well up for it - logging NA on anything that isn't nailed down because "it was overgrown so couldn't find it, this cache NA because I couldn't reach it/ find it/ phone died. And yes I do ...

Account holders who have not read the bit that says "if you are 13 years or under geocaching is NOT for you".

People with 10,000 plus finds - throwing down caches because they dnfd. And if the couldn't find it it's clearly missing.

TB hotel owners ... again

TB thieves. Literally that's what they are, thieves.

People (yes again have examples) who ... move a cache to where they think it should be if the coords are out by 20 feet.

"This needs a Co check as we think it's missing" ... only DNF for weeks ... And THEN the CO complies and disables the cache. What?

A sneaky cache is a well hidden one with good coordinates btw not one that is 170 feet off where it should be and the size of a ladybug. That's appalling CO manship.

Intercontinental cache crawlers looking for red spanners and logging a needs archived on a cache in a continent they have never been to. And THEN following up with "well is the CO going to check this one out or not". Life ... get one you sad sad people.

The same is true of those in the same area and yet a quick look at their caches ... Spannerville.

There is more but I need to go shout at something ...

The new HTML email notifications. No more value, fine tuned mail filters do not work any more and the information is hidden in a lot of useless bell & whistles, just wasting bandwith.

Anywhere else I at least can choose between HTML and plain text notification, now Groundspeak took a large step back in beeing user friendly.

I want to have plain text mails back! At least optionally!

If the reviewer is archiving one of your caches on the same day that you are hiding a new one, you're playing the game wrong.

I would like to see such people blocked from hiding new caches or at least given a stern warning from the reviewer next time they submit a cache. These people have an illness (compulsive cache hiding) and need professional help.

OCCHD - Obsessive, Compulsive, Cache Hiding Disorder. I honestly believe that there is such a thing.

Don't forget the OCCFD (Obsessive, Compulsive, Cache Finding Disorder). There are people who force themselves to do caches that they don't enjoy, just because they have an obsessive need to find every cache in their area.

Unfortunately for me, I think I have OCCFD Especially those in my home area. I HAVE to find them all!

That leads into one of my 'irks'...NOT being able to find a cache. I'll look sometimes for an hour or more before I give up. I HATE it when I'm looking in an area that I most likely will not be able to return to (i.e. vacation spot) and not be able to find it. In that situation I try to pick the ones that I will enjoy most so I guess it's the feeling that I've wasted valuable time. However I do have to admit that some of my favorite adventures have come from a DNF

On another note, my biggest 'irk' is the TFTC logs. But I realize that everyone plays the game in his or her own way, so the best thing to do is just overlook those. I wish Groundspeak would put a Like feature on logs. With the competitive spirit involved in this game I think that would go a long way in encouraging people to create more fun/detailed logs. Especially if there was a counter similar to the number of finds. At least it would give us some sort of feedback. Writing out a funny, detailed log and then feeling like no one ever reads (enjoys) it is a little disappointing.

If I do a LPC, what do you want me to say?

How about, "Your cache is a testament to mundania. Tha motto of Groundspeak is, 'The Language Of Location'. Can you share with the rest of the world why this boring lamp post, smack dab in the middle of a 500 acre, exhaust laden, sweltering, blacktop hell, was so special that it rated a geocache? Please, for the love of Gaia, if you insist on utterly boring people to tears, (which is certainly your right), could you stick to such hobbies as watching paint dry, or listening to grass grow, and leave the geocache placements to those who are not afraid to walk more than 5' from their air conditioned SUV? Thanks."

YES +1000

Reading a log like that would still be better than "TFTC". Plus it lets future finders know without a doubt that this is a boring LPC, but also encourages creative log writing.

I'm a weirdo who likes to find the occasional LPC. Especially after a longer search and/or string of DNFs it's nice to go to one you know will be easy.

I am not sure if I have already posted to this thread previously, but recently, what has been Irking me is cachers who adopt my travel bug as a personal tracking TB. I realize that sometimes it takes a little longer to get a TB back into a cache (I have done that a few times when I havn't been caching as much as I used to), but months of dipping into every one of the hundreds of caches you find; that irks me.

Ugh, this has happened to me too... after about 25 nuisance emails, I politely asked them to just leave it at the next cache.

Old topic, but the worst part is, you don't want to annoy the cacher that has your bug, or it may 'dissapear'. We are always handling the holder with kid gloves. Not that the bug is back out, there are 927 logs to delete. And the other cacher gets a email for each one.

Neither multis or mysteries should be couch potatoed. Mystery/Unknown may have some computer work to solve the puzzle, but you still need to go find the container and sign it in order to log the cache.

I don't know the bridge you examined, but many of them do have a plaque with the manufacturer and date. Maybe it was there and you missed it. It is fine for that to be part of a multi.

Again I say throw downs. One day last winter I was caching and found the cache but the only problem I had was it was covered in ice.

I marked it as a DNF only because I didn't put pen to paper. The next day a cacher Find it but the log read "Wasn't where it should have been so we replaced it. TFTC"

The cacher has over 14k finds.

The CO gave him the find but removed the throw down since it was about 50' off and the correct one just need the ice removed.

Mysteries are not necessarily puzzles that are solved at home first. Many mystery type caches involve work in the field.

Likewise, it's not uncommon for multi caches to involve a bit of work, research, sleuthing. There is some owner discretion involved in the classification because it's not always cut and dry.

As they say, not all caches are for all people.

Well, if nobody posts their DNFs, then there is no way to determine it needs maintenance. With only your single DNF, there isn't way for anyone to determine that it is gone without any communication, as they don't melt over time.

Requiring some basic knowledge about trees, like being able to identify an oak or a beech does not turn a cache into a mystery for me.

For multi caches there always might arise the situation that the language plays a role. You can read the description of the cache in advance and

then you will realize that you need to identify a tree species and then you can either skip the cache or the bring along a dictionary or a list with tree names in the

required language. Moreover, the D-rating of a cache and the presence of the attribute "fields puzzle" provide further indicators.

The idea of a stage where one asks for the name of a tree is certainly not that cachers use mobile internet or find out the answer at home, but rather the contrary.

Sometimes the answers to questions which relate to signs can be googled at home, while often questions like which tree is to be found at location x cannot be

answered easily by skipping them.

There are even traditionals that I cannot solve with just one visit (for example if a tricky container needs to be opened), but that's not the fault of the cache owner. Not everyone has the same abilities, knowledge etc

I agree. Especially if the cache has been getting regular visits, then suddenly nothing for months. It's worth checking even if there are no DNFs. It's one thing if the cache is on top of a mountain where it requires a half day hike to get to and only gets one or two finds a year. But a cemetery? They are usually easily accessible. It shouldn't be too hard for the CO to go visit the cache once a year just to be sure it's still in good shape.

Wondering where my TB, or one I'm watching, is. Logs such as, "This cache is packed full of trackables, so I decided to take a couple and leave one behind." are maddening. My TB still appears in the inventory, but current logs indicate that there are no TBs in the cache. The simple fix is to mention every TB you put into or take out of a cache. It leaves a nice audit trail!

That's one of my main issues, too. I have a TB now that's been listed in a cache for over a year. The cache has been found about 3 times since the TB was placed there, and none of the logs mention it.

If I find a cache with more TBs than I want to take, I write down the tracking numbers of all the ones I leave there, so I can leave a "discover" log. I figure that should assure the owner that the bug is where it's listed. If I find a TB there that's not listed there, I'll grab it and place it there (especially if it's obviously been there a while). If there's a TB listed there that I don't see, I post a note on the TB's page.

I created a TB in memory of my parents and father-in-law. My wife and I took it to Ireland last summer and hid it in a location without a lot of traffic to keep it from being muggled with the container. Needless to say, someone found the container shortly after we left the TB there, but apparently took the TB without logging it. I emailed the two owners who logged the find after we put the TB in there and both said that there were no TB in the container. Very frustrating!

Cache owners who are obviously placing caches which only a handful their closest friends can find. For example, I went to do a SQ cache without reading the clues beforehand. One of the clues took you to a section, and the clue was "at this location, look for the headstone who's first name is the CO's favorite uncle's first name." Really? If you do not know the CO, what their actual name is, let alone the CO's favorite uncle's name, you cannot possibly find the cache. Of course, the small handful of 'find it' logs were all gushing how great the puzzle was and how great the CO is, and how they enjoyed the private birthday party weeks ago.

While I am on puzzles, I once did a letterbox that was (again) in a cemetery. At one location, the direction was 'to look for a cross to the north.' Honestly? In the Greek Orthodox section I was in, EVERY headstone has a cross! It was like a clue that said to stand on the edge of a forest and look for a pine tree!

I also do not like, nor do I look for, caches that are placed in dangerous places (like a guardrail on a busy highway or hidden deep within a Hawthorne tree).

Not a sin, but a MAJOR peeve, any cache that says extreme stealth is required due to abundance of muggles. Extreme stealth is just another way of say "I hid a cache in a place I shouldn't have and the jokes on you if you choose to find it."

Good irks. Some of the things you mention are sometimes more reasonable than they appear, but when there isn't a hidden logic, they are definitely very annoying.

When a cache says "extreme stealth", I always read it as "I expect this to get muggled, but please do the best you can." If the joke's on me, it's not much of a joke, since I'll never see the cache again whether I give up its location or not.

I am a little more careful about the caches I go after now than I was at first. But I figure that if someone hides a cache at a location that is crowded with people day and night, it really isn't my fault if it gets muggled. I try to be stealthy, and I won't wave it around yelling "Eureka!", but I have seen a lot of caches that could have been hidden much better just a few feet away.

Dude. I know someone with 8,000 finds and 150 hides who's been caching since 2002 who thought they should list their first nano as "not chosen". Apparently most people do not know that nano is a subset of micro.

That's another one of those things that's pretty much only known in these forums. Like the fact that basic members can log premium member only caches.

[*]People posting "Needs Maintenance" because the log book is either a)full or b)wet or destroyed. To my mind, the effort required to carry a few spare logs and replacing where necessary is minimal and yet everyone benefits, logging can continue and no more "Needs Maintenance" logs It takes more time to place a "Needs Maintenance" note than to replace the log. The rosy glow that you helped the cachers behind you is also nice too.

What really irks me is lazy cache owners who expect everyone else to maintain their cache.

expand on your statement

What really irks me is lazy cache owners who expect everyone else to maintain their cache with a note on the cache page from day 1 to throw down a replacement as the finder sees fit if it is missing.

Occasional maintenance is no problem. Throwing a cache out your window because you felt like that lamp post needed something is just killing my time having to put it on the ignore list.

When someone is FTF, but then they take an age to post their log online. Then I dash out, get to GZ, feel all excited that I'm going to be FTF; only to find the log is already signed.

What irks me? People who think they are entitled to be notified if they are not going to be FTF on a cache. Part of the FTF side game is not knowing if you are first and feeling the rush hit you when you find out you are. I cannot understand how such self-entitlement can motivate a person to think that they must be placated by an immediate FTF log, lest they actually be disappointed if they come in second.

What are you on about, "placated by an immediate FTF log"? If you had read my post correctly, you would see that it said, "they take an age to post their log online".

I understand that some people don't have smartphones and so can't post a log until they get home. I don't think it's unreasonable to hope that people will log their FTF within a reasonable amount of time.

I enjoy the thrill of seeing if I'm FTF, or if I have just missed out; but not to get there in the evening and find FTF was at 6:30am (as happened to me once).

To think of that as "taking an age" really is a first world problem. You know, someone finds a cache on their way to work, logs it when they get home (and most of us have lives over and above jumping on gc.com the very nanosecond we get home from work). Maybe they were out that evening and logged it the following day. Maybe they were caching while on holiday and have limited internet access, or found the cache on the way to the airport or something. Maybe they just felt like leaving a carrot dangling for other FTF hounds. There are all sorts of reasons why someone might not log their find as quickly as you might like.

It comes back to, if you play the FTF game you have to deal with the fact that a cache with no logs isn't necessarily an unfound cache.

sandbagging a log is silly. FTF hounds do NOT have "lives over and above jumping on gc.com". it is the nature of the hound. they get texts sent directly to their phone telling them of the newest cache that just published 10 miles away.

i don't enjoy that part of the side game. first world problems, i know. heck, geocaching in general is a first world issue completely.

The games that are played for Challenge Caches are amusing. "Find ten caches that have the word "copper" in their name". The next day, cacher "A" places three urban micros with the the word "copper" in their name, cacher "B", who is their best friend FTFs all of them as well as the challenge.

Unfortunately, I don't see the word "integrity" anywhere in the guidelines.

I wouldn't say this irks me "most"...but it's kind annoying to see this on one of my caches yesterday:

My first find. Fun! Log needs maintenance.

What Irks you most?
