A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Any gas pump that starts playing an ad when you start pumping gas should be set on fire with the manager who approved the decision standing within the blast radius.
The managers probably have zero say. The franchise owner probably gets a kickback so to them it’s a no brainer
Then put them next to it. Whoever is responsible for signing off on that deal.
It shouldn't be considered a "no brainier". We're there to purchase gasoline in exchange for money. Our mere presence somewhere doesn't grant people the right to shove shit into our eyes and ears. It's an attack on our personal solace, and I fucking hate it. It should be illegal. It seriously diminishes our happiness and sense of peace. "It's just business" is a poor fucking excuse for making people's lives worse in exchange for a little money for you personally. It's amoral, and we need to start punishing that attitude. It has gone way too far already, and it will continue going deeper into the realms of intrusion until society's attitudes about it begin to change.
Your rage is justified and the phrase "It's an attack on our personal space" absolutely nails it.
