Was it possible that she was wearing polarized glasses?
I had this experience with the cooler screens at a Walgreens in Miami Beach. I wear polarized sunglasses. I didn't realize the windows were lit until I got very close and took my sunglasses off.
- BizarroLand 3y agoOne day it will be like the movie, "They Live", only putting the glasses on prevents the ads that have invaded every waking moment of your life from showing.

- cancerhacker 3y agoI added a trivial css filter for my browser, that sets blur to images who's alt text contains the name of a particular public figure, and it's an absolute joy to not have to see some things anymore. I know it's there, but it's much more easily avoidable.

- stavros 3y agoI keep falling for this in airports, for displays mounted on pillars or any other place where it doesn't make it obvious it's a screen. I keep thinking they put a bezel around black plastic, and then it dawns on me to tilt my head.
- alias_neo 3y agoNot in this case, no, it was night time. As for the polarized glasses thing; I recently found ad-blocking to be a feature of mine; I can't see the video/screen adverts on London bus stops when I'm wearing my polarized sun glasses; major win (shame it's not sunny very often).
