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....

I've never seen one in Australia. We don't really prepay for petrol here. Some servos in the dodgiest suburbs do make you between certain hours, but I've never seen one that makes everybody always prepay or one that actually takes your card. Most of the time you'd go inside to prepay anyways, but on the few pumps I've seen that do have card payments on the physical pump it's either tap or swipe, no insert, and no holding cards hostage
