Stupid Moviegoer Trick

[Shorty82]

The BP stations here in FL have pump side commercials too! Luckily, it's an add on module to the pump and it does have a mute button.

Now if only I can get a mute button on my DW.

I haven't seen those in this part of the state, thankfully.

Once or twice I saw a talking version of the coupon dispensers at Albertson's. First time I saw it I was tempted to complain but it was late in the evening and I didn't feel like looking for a manager.

I haven't seen them in a while. I assume people did complain and the talking dispensers were removed.

Commercials on gas pumps? Filling up is annoying enough as it is with the price of gas but now some stations annoy their customers even more with commercials?

Not mention a distraction....Here in Cali you better be paying attention to who is around you instead of "watching TV" while you are pumping gas!
And does anyone else think that seeing a Movie playing clearly in the car ahead of you is a potential problem (stupid drivers everywhere her in LA. Like they need stuff to look at beside the other drivers, their phone and Starbucks Drink)

Yeah, I agree. Here in San diego, they pulled a guy over that was playing an X rated movie on the SUV's entertainment system, with the screens visible from outside and behind the vehicle!! (no one else was in the SUV watching )

That's disgusting! Has anyone seen the rubber anatomical parts that some really crude people hang from their trailer hitch? To make their truck look like a MALE truck? I wish a cop would pull them over, it is obscene.

SOmeone in my town has a set of those. Had my BF not pointed them out to tell me what they were I would have never noticed. Obscene, not really cause they are hard to tell what they are and see unless you are smack up behind the vehicle that has that "manly" feature, but weird and strange...definatley. Would I let Donnie put them on our truck...NO (I aint gonna be the one to explain to a 5 year old girl what they represent) but to each their own.

[Ms. Matterhorn]

Well, I must have a dirty mind because I knew what they were right away from 50 feet. I still think they are obscene, and what do you say to a five year old that says, "What is that, mommy?"

[vixen101485]

Well, you just say..."some stupid thing that person wanted to hang on the back of his truck" then quickly point out the pretty birdie flying by or the nice dress in the window of that shop. Kids get distracted very easily. Plus you could always look at the pretty birdie too.

My response when I was told what they were, "UGG,(pause) anyway, honey I think it would be better if we bought the tan couch as it wouldnt show as much dirt and not rip as easily as the black one." Seriously I thot about them for all of a millisecond then went back to the conversation we were having about couches. See when Donnie is driving he is my captive audience with no distractions of TV or being able to go to sleep and I take every advantage possible of that situation. :D:

Two guys in our horse club have stainless steel ones on their hitches. It's father and son, both big macho guys. Makes you wonder whether there's an inferiority complex under all that bluster and exhibitionism.

[DisneyMom]

Yeah, I've seen those around- pretty bad if you have to explain it to a kid :mad:
I guess their wives handed them back that day and they want to show off!

"What is that, mommy?"

"That's someone demonstrating their room temperature IQ dear."
