I have the opposite problem in a way. I use geocaching.org frequently. But because they have had a problem in the past with Tor users they block Tor nodes. As I run a Relay, not Exit, this means that I have to ask for an exception every time my IP changes Happily that doesn't happen very often but it is surly a pain when it does.
Is there a way for someone to distinguish real and exit IPs? If so I'll try to educate them.
Yes. As per Moritz's contribution to this thread:
People are always thankful when I can point them to the bulk exit list and torDNSel. I point out that Tor has a lot of users and not all of them are bad, and urge for a temporary block. Most admins seem to follow that advice.

If they want to implement blocking of Tor exit relays, these tools can help them to do that.
