How To Spot A Cacher In The Pub

[+Globetrotter.uk]

I have just replied to a question from some newbies,on how to spot a cacher in the pub at a meet, and couldn't resist the oppotunity for a spot of humour.

 

So here's the start of 50 ways to spot a cacher.

 

1/ Look for a guy using a gps to locate his wallet.

2/ Look for the person who accidentally tries to answer his 'phone with an eTrex.

6) look for the guy who keeps feeling along the underside of the chairs for a micro.

[+steviep]

24 = at lunch time in the pub it's the person shuffleing cache sheets for the afternoons finds.

25 = it's the person doing the maths for the final cache in a series, then leaves the drink as soon as it's solved

[+Pengy&Tigger]

26 : They are the ones seeing if they can get Wifi on the laptop in the pub to log all the caches they have done on the way to the pub.

[+stu_and_sarah]

They're the one playing with a barbie doll and taking photos of it in interesting poses at the table.

29) If the Duke Box/cigarette machine/condom dispenser isnt working, check to see if its plugged if, if not and the socket is occupied, trace the wire, add if it terminates into the pocket of some guy trying hard to look innocent then chances are hes a geocacher buming a free charge for his GPSr

[+Renegade Knight]

30) His cell phone rings and he answers his GPS by mistake…

 

31) You see him sitting with his mistress and you overhear him talking on the cell phone “I’m at the pub, with my mistress” to which his wife says “Your out geocaching again aren’t you!”

 

32) He the one having his hydration pack filled with beer.

 

33) His suit is immaculate and his shoes are muddy.

 

34) He swaps an empty pint for a full one and calls it a fair trade.

35) The Geocacher is the one waypointing all the tables in the the bar to find the closest 'parking' spot.

[+Simply Paul]

36) He arrives on quiz night and bitterly complains that the pub is listed as a traditional, not a puzzle.

38) It takes them at least 15 minutes to unplug all their gadgets from their various cigarette lighter extensions before actually making it from the car park to the pub!

[+Stuey]

39) They'll ignore the complicated puzzling menu/specials board combination and go straight for the traditional carvery.

[+miles58]

[+Another Mr Lizard]

She's the one carrying an ammo box as a handbag.
