    And gas station ads, especially ones on max volume. Obnoxious ads blaring so loud that even if you sit in your car you can still hear them.

      Depending on the model of the pump, you can usually turn off the sound with one of the buttons on the right. The ones I have seen have four buttons on each side, and the second or third (or maybe bottom? I forget) button on the right will at least mute the ad. It’s worth a shot. It’s so obnoxious, it’s almost worth soaking it in gasoline.

        I’m so glad all the pumps that do that shit around me have a very large ‘<- MUTE’ sticker next to that button. I’ve gotten in the habit of just mashing that button as the gas starts flowing so I don’t have to hear that bullshit.

          I’ve been meaning to learn how to sabotage the pump to get the ads to not even play. It’s on the list of anarchist things to do.
