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…

    Start harassing them any way you can that is not illegal. How long can you ‘park’ at a gas station pump ? What happens if you accidentally spill gas all over the screen/speaker/system ? Accidents happen and it was their fault for not making a foolproof system…

      You can put the pumps in maintenance mode. I did it on accident once looking for the mute button. I held down one of the buttons for like 10 seconds and the pump went into maintenance mode. Just leave it like that lol.

      This is a great idea… cause a mess that someone else has to clean up rather then press the mute button, absolutely brilliant.

      This is about as sad as eating in your car alone at a McDonald’s parking lot
