> Not sure if it’s common elsewhere, but many gas stations around my area have screen on the pump that play obnoxiously loud ads while you’re pumping gas. Most of them have a mute button at least.

One of the many, MANY jarring things about going to the US. I jam my gas-gap filler cap in the handle and go check the oil so I can get as far away from that nonsense as possible.

All the gas pump handles I've used have a thingy that you can flip down to hold the trigger in place so you can let go and they will keep pumping. I've only pumped gas in Washington, California, and at a station that was on a Native American reservation in Oregon. Are there states where gas pumps don't have support hands free pumping?

Yep, it has been taken away in a lot of places to prevent spilling.

When I did it in Australia the attendant turned off the pump and scolded me.
