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....

Left hand side second button down -> mute. Might not work everywhere, but it's pretty satisfying to turn it off.

I typically find a way to turn it off. But at this one gas station, no luck. I panicked and tried all the buttons.

It's reaching a point where I'm considering buying a flipper zero or something just to turn this off

Super glue in the speaker holes seems like a good solution

Costco pumps dont have ads. Only fuel there. Set the other gas starion on fire

I just start pumping then go clean out my car. Sometimes I catch a little of the front or end of the ad. It doesn't really bother me as I'm not paying attention and I still have my car music on
