    Fun fact: you can silence most gas pump ads by pushing the second-from-the-top button on the right-hand side of the gas pump screen… Not all pumps, and every now and then I encounter one that uses the third button down, but most pumps I’ve run into can be silenced.

    It’s unforgivable they’ve jammed ads into pumps full of disgustingly overpriced gas that you’re already paying for…

      keep an awl in the car… poke the speaker .

      or, get some 3.5mm male ends and stick it into the headphone port for the bild folks. does it screw the blind/visually impaired from getting gas? sure…but it’s an unfortunate side effect to saving all our ears. I wouldn’t mind if I was blind, I’d just ask the attendant for assistance in pumping.

        Is there a statistically significant population of blind people pumping gas? If you struggle to pump gas unassisted, I’m honestly not sure how you would safely operate a vehicle.

          I dunno, machines have visual impairment functions like the audio jack which is why I said what I did

          getting gas doesn’t necessarily mean they are driving. could be for lawn mower, or they are paying/pumping but someone else is driving.
