Certain limitations motivate us to use the phone a friend option: too long of a walk, time restrictions (not just the 5 minutes per cache types), the weather, etc.
I went out the other day to find a cache that had eluded us for quite some time. It was raining and I had to get home for another obligation. My son and I looked for about 15 minutes. I felt that the rain might be hindering my GPS reception so I phoned a friend. When I did call I described to the friend the area where I was looking, and asked if I was looking in the right spot (the cache was a math/multi). I didn’t have to know exactly where it was, just if I was on the right track and to be reassured that I had done the math properly.
I don’t mind using the option, nor do I mind when others use it in this fashion.
