Fuck ads at the gas pump (self.privacy)

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....

We've got some in the UK, like this one at the Shell petrol station at S60 5ND (pic from Oogle Gearth)

Is that a scale so you can weigh your gas?

Took me a minute but when I heard it I can’t unhear it.

A shell in Australia is the only place i've seen this as well. They will not be getting our custom.
