No saying politicians please
Real Estate agents. Pointless leeches no one needs.
Journalists
Cops
Generically sales people. People that call themselves hustlers. Whatever grind mindset that the people who talk that up the most always ends up being people ladder stepping salespeople
HR
You mean “The Fun Police”
At best. At worst they’re happiness enforcers, and/or corpo double agents
Outgoing call center, Door to door “sales”, professional panhandlers.
Real-estate agents, followed by recruiters. Those people usually make good money while being absolutely shit at their jobs.
Try to find a real-estate agent who is capable of taking a single picture without their thumb partially covering the camera lens…
Marketing and advertisers
This. Their job is litterally to get people to spend money on something they otherwise wouldn’t spend money on. And they have a no holds barred attitude about separating people from their money.
This! Also , dishonesty and manipulation runs deep.

Advertisers.
Weapons dealers and manufacturers, realators, landlords, lobbyists, law enforcement officers, immigration officers or any other monopolists of violence.
Corporate lobbyists. They’ve played a large part in the gradual destruction of the USA in the name of profit for their filthy-rich overlords.
Lobbyists, Human Resources, CEO’s, Corporate Attorney, Hedge fund manager, FBI, CIA, Mossad, ICE and Televangelist
Marketing, particularly Ads people. They exist only to hype shitty products, primarily. Sure they might get eyeballs on unknown brands, but I feel like that’s not what they are paid big bucks for.
Marketing is an industry built around manipulating people to buy things they otherwise wouldn’t be interested in buying. There’s no redeeming quality; the entire premise is shitty.
“Marketing” is just a euphemism for “propaganda.”
Ads make me especially mad because there’s reasonable evidence to suggest they aren’t effective at increasing sales so the whole thing feels like a scam to waste everyone’s time and money
I want to also ad the people who are determined to put ads on FUCKING EVERYTHING. I grew up in the 90s, I remember when gods damn gas pumps were silent… I remember when the flashiest thing we saw on the store was when the soda displays were made into cool shapes… Get off my lawn and take your damn roofing company sign with you.
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.
If you’re legally blind you cannot get a drivers license. And it doesn’t take much to be legally blind.
I have yet to run into any gas pumps with video ads personally, but this seems like a great way to drive EV adoption
As if they’d not eventually show ads aswell since charging times are even longer…
Luckily(?) charging times are long enough that you’d probably walk away from the charger and wait somewhere else.
That used to work but no longer does on a lot in my area. Stuffing recipts in the speaker holes could help if you know what I mean
I miss ads from the 60s-80s that were just a info-dump on the product with very little hype. You actually got to learn about what they were trying to sell you instead of a bunch of bullshit and a logo at the end.
Some ads I saw last year didn’t even talk about the product, I had no clue what they were selling, other than a quirky relationship video
Scammer. People don’t think it’s a “profession” in the true sense but it absolutely is. Majority of higher up people in scam call centers or phishing campaigns do it as their day job and they certainly make more money than the average honest worker putting in the same amount of effort.
