yeah unless it's literal signs on your own building/workspace, or it's just your branding on your own product, etc. advertising must be illegal. they had their chance to be reasonable with it and they fucked it. the entire advertising industry deserves to be outlawed.

Let's call it disabling or indispose as a public service.
Vandalism ( as they will undoubtedly will frame it) has a negative connotation.
Language used to fit the view of who uses it.
Like 'regime' (government we don't like) or officer involved shooting (pigs murdered someone).

Vandalism is always an answer. May not be the right answer, considering the question.

~~Hey Gina, what do you think would be a good fundraiser to help cover the funding gaps our shitty government leaves us with year after year?~~

~~Hey Bob, Joey's getting out of the hospital today and is going to have staggering debt because the purposefully inefficient private healthcare system has so much power over our elected officials.~~

Fuck it, I tried twice. Vandalism is the answer.

Recently I ran into a new one. The pump had a screen, but instead of a tiny screen surrounded by buttons (one of which can be used to mute the video), it was a giant screen with no buttons. Ergo no mute button. I tried clicking around the screen but nothing worked. There’s gotta be a pattern though.

THIS is the answer. No ads are played on my front drive. Ever.

Ah, there's the end goal to full self driving! Creating advertisement boxes you have to sit inside and the vehicle doesn't move if you close your eyes. We're going full black mirror!

Often times you can press one of the buttons to mute it, although apparently some pumps have decided you're not allowed to decide when you want to hear your own thoughts. Just start pushing the buttons on either side of the screen, chances are one of them will shut it up.

If I can't mute them I take my knife and destroy the speaker if its accessible.

If you don't know about automatic metal punches, they're a great solution to these fuckin' things. Small enough to be palmed and will punch right through a screen with little effort.

I'm usually not in favor of this sort of thing. But I think there are some instances where that may be justified. This screen serves ZERO public benefit. It's just there to annoy you. So IMHO doing something like 3d printing a cover that you leave on the screen is a public service.

If you try to close the ad then the hose sucks the gasoline out of your tank but still charges you for the amount pumped. Also good luck getting the right fuel for your engine, the pump selection system has been replaced with a gacha game. Try again and maybe next time you'll get Diesel-chan!
