There’s an older guy in my area who’s in his 70’s and he constantly gets upset with me when he DNF’s one of my caches and gets even more upset when it takes me a few days to do the maintenance. I’m only available to do maintenance on weekends because during the week, I’m just too busy with work and that get him very upset and frustrated. He literally expects me to drop all of my responsibilities, the nanosecond he wants to find any particular cache I own that he’s struggling with. Also I am very on top of keeping my caches in good condition and I do go and check on them as soon as I can whenever an issue is brought to my attention. Other geocachers in my area say they understand where I’m coming from but I should try to harder to do the maintenance for this guy when he’s requesting it because geocaching is his main way of staying active and healthy. Him and some others think I’m not being a good community member by only doing maintenance on weekends and me saying my responsibilities outside of the game is just an excuse and I’m being a “lazy CO.” It’s getting to the point that I’m frustrated with their lack of patience that I’m thinking I’m just going to archive everything I own except for a few of my very well liked caches and no longer hide anything.
