Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?

I’m paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?

What the actual fuck

Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?

I’ve seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers…

You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn’t work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)

I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19…

      I don’t even have an EV and I have to see the ads on the chargers because they’re in front of the store I’m walking into. So far, I’ve only noticed that at grocery stores, but it’s annoying.

      Maybe public ones but the good thing about electric is you plug in and either walk away or sit in your car you don’t need to be outside near the pump to charge.

        That’s an interesting way to spin the fact that it takes so long to charge that it’s impractical to stand there and wait for it to finish.

        If you turned the gas pump down to make it pump slowly enough, you could walk away from it while you wait, too.
