Pretty much anything with any member is snl, with the exception of the original not ready for prime time players is just awful!

I'm 6'5". The last time I comfortably fit in a bathtub (read: NOT hot tub) was 17 years ago, at least. Just finding a shower that's not at my nipples is tough enough. And this is America. I can't imagine how much more difficult it might be in, say, China or Japan

I completely agree!

I thought the same thing when I saw the first advert with him in it. If I was a member of the Sanders family, I'd be really ticked off and Yum brands (the owner of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut), and the ad agency.

Some schmuck left this in the lobby almost a week ago, instead of either taking it to Goodwill or the local recycling center. Sure buddy, I'm sure someone else wants to take care of that for you...

Have I ever mentioned that people suck?

You remind me of an online friend I made a few years ago. He used to always say "I hate people".
I generally like people, but I definitely think they sometimes do dumb things. Thankfully (at least in my experience) there are more good people than those who suck!

Yes, persons are generally tolerable. People though, are not.
Bathtubs are rather uncommon actually. The norm is to have a shower instead, takes up much less space. I don't have one in my apartment.
Much of rural China can be like that as well, and in town or village you might be able to use a public baths, been there, done that. 
Bathtubs and fitted showers is really a western thing, same with sit-down rather than crouch toilets, or no toilet of your own at all, use the public hole-in-the-ground or a "pig toilet" if it's particularly rural.
The public baths here looks rather like a small swimming pool, and is deep and large enough to actually swim a few strokes, except there's no chlorine in it and you immerse yourself naked of course. Water is kept at around 37C usually, so is very comfortable. Completely separate baths for male or female.
UK used to have public baths, can just about remember going to one, late 60s, very early 70s, from when used to stay with grandparents, who only had a wash basin and buckets, before their house was "modernised" in about 1973. Sometimes even see it at the old Victorian swimming pools, "Swimming Pool and Public Baths", the public bathing long since gone.

That might even be an upgrade for some people...
Black & white to colour, larger screen, remote control, etc.
...BTW the VHS is a Japanese Funai. Chinese manufacturers never really got into VHS in a big way. It can still be economic to repair CRT TVs here, basically because new TVs are relatively expensive and labour costs are low.

People who use word abbreviations when they are not needed.
When they constantly use "u" for "you", or " thks" or "thnks" for thanks.... When I'm reading through a thread trying to help them and all I can concentrate on is these stupid shortcuts. What drives me even more crazy is when they use "u" instead of you and capitalize the U so you have sentence after sentence of capital U's!

Ever wonder how much is gained by dropping to "O" off of OK?

Fat fingers on small phone keyboards. It's hard for some to type and predictive text doesn't help.
Some are just plain lazy.
