The worst is the unmutable advertisements at the gas pump.
Some you can mute, if you press the correct hidden button. But more and more I'm finding them without the mute button. So I start pressing random buttons and combinations of buttons, until something works.
The pump by my house goes into a maintenance mode when you press a certain button combination, and then it tells you to go inside to pay (as if I hadn't already swiped my card). But the ads are muted, and the charge still shows up on my account, the correct amount and everything, so it's paid for. I don't go in. The pump automatically leaves maintenance mode when I finish pumping. No harm no foul.
I try to avoid stations I know have ads, but I travel a lot for work, so it's hard.
