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 mitigate risks when it’s reasonable. Not getting in my car while pumping gas is an easy step to take in order to mitigate a risk. Like buckling my seatbelt.

      Can you perhaps share some statistics of explosions caused by getting in a car? No? How about an article of someone blown to smithereens by getting in there car? Not that either?

      What you’re feeling better about is the theater of inferred safe practices. The fact that in spite of driving being the top cause of accidental death, you’re ok with but although there is no factual info backing up your fear of getting into your car should give you pause.

        They put stickers on every pump everywhere warning about static electricity causing fires. Do you think they just put those on there for fun? I bet you’re not vaccinated either, idiot.
