My cheap flight tracker hit 100 alerts for one trip and I couldn't stop laughing
I was trying to get from Chicago to Lisbon for under $400 round trip, which felt like a crazy goal. I set up a tracker on this free app (you know the one) and forgot about it for a bit. When I finally looked, the alert count was at 100 exactly. It was like the app was screaming at me about every single price wiggle, from a $5 drop at 3 a.m. to a weird $12 jump on a Tuesday. I actually got the flight for $387 in the end, but the journey to that number was just a flood of phone buzzes. Has anyone else had a tracker go totally overboard like that? What's your record for alerts before you found a deal?

I saw a tech blog say that's why elizabeth_martin's "panic attack" joke is so spot on.

Imagine the app's algorithm just having a full-blown panic attack on your behalf.
