Just spent $200 on a 'ground penetrating radar' app for my phone
Saw an ad for this app that claimed it could find underground pipes and wires before you dig. Bought it, tried it on a job in Springfield last Tuesday. The thing just beeped randomly over a patch of grass... ended up hitting a sprinkler line anyway. Had to pay for the repair myself. Anyone know a real way to check for utilities that doesn't involve a phone app?

My cousin in Tampa wasted $150 on that same app last month.

That's the exact amount my friend's dad lost on one of those crypto game apps. Makes you wonder if they're using the same price points on purpose, like it's a weird marketing trick. They probably figure $150 feels like a real purchase but not so much that people will call the police. It's a gross spot to pick, right between "oh well" and "I need my money back".
