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…

      Not that it didn’t happen, just that they are so rare, you had to find a 4 pixel video of one and are completely unable to provide any statistics due to it’s rarity.

      I was going to link a vehicle accident to back up my claim but, well, I had problems picking one from the 6 million that occur annually.

      But you go ahead and worry about the static electricity while fueling so you can hop in your car and hurtle down the road around the oncoming rockets that are infinitely more likely to end your life but you are, for some strange reason, more OK with.

              The dude is literally the reason we have to have those sticker warnings on everything. I’m gonna say he’s not intelligent enough to even bother arguing with.

                Alright, have fun being an angry little whatever you are. I have better things to do than warn you about your car burning up, enjoy the rest of your day, keep full coverage on your cars or something. Have a nice one.
