While flying training in the RAF, we were always told not to be too proud to call for a "training fix". However, pride dictated that it wasn't the done thing.
One day, on a rare CAVOK day, the course were sent off for general handling solos in an early stage of the course. On guard, one of the course was heard calling for a training fix, shortly followed by a
"Oi - that's my callsign and it's not me who's lost!"
Unfortunately, the perpetrator had a distinctive accent so it was obvious who he was. After a quick "chat'' from the flight commander about integrity, he was marched off to the bar to purchase a considerable quantity of beer for his course mates.
The lesson was, don't be too proud and don't delay and violate someones' airspace.
