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…

    Some electronics have a way to test the system if the speaker is functional and can potentially kill the system, so that’s not even remotely true. Also, maybe they have to manually check the pump every morning when they turn the pumps on as part of their start up process.

    You are a fool if you think stuff isn’t able to verify and test itself in todays age or they don’t have an employee checking stuff semi frequently…

    In either case it wouldn’t be hard to go through a days footage, even easier if the system self tests and tells you when/if the problem occurred.
