Those who dislike flatterers and "yes-men" should probably read Dante. 
In hell, flatterers literally have to wade through a river of shit for eternity.

My memory is a bit fuzzy, which Circle is that in/from?

Eighth circle (Fraud), bolgia #2.
And no, I don't think that last bit was intentional.
Actually, Larry Niven's version gets even more graphic:
Not only do flatterers have to wade through shit, but every time they speak, MORE shit comes out - of their mouths! 
Although this is more than compensated for, by one simple fact: ADVERTISERS count as flatterers.

As for frustration:
I love the 4th of July, and I love my country, but DAMN. Would it be too much to ask to NOT have my entire neighborhood turn into fucking Iwo Jima? It goes ALL.NIGHT.LONG. (Not joking, BTW. It really does.
)Fuck this. I would not shed a single tear if all private ownership and use of fireworks was banned. Screw them. You want to see fireworks, go see a show, or watch 'em on TV. I've had enough of this shit. I literally have to flee my neighborhood on the night of the 4th (fortunately my dad lets me crash at his place). I got back home this morning and there is fireworks debris all over the streets.
If I thought it'd do any good, I'd call the cops, but whatever.

They belong on what was formerly the History Channel.

So if you're a fecalpheliac, you should flatter as much as you can? It'd be like your Heaven.
People say Inferno isn't as important as Iliad or Odyssey, but what else still functions as moral sanctimony porn to both the religious and nonreligious alike 700 years after it was written?
#%#%@*%^ shaving cuts.
Were you able to get your haircut?Had an appointment tomorrow for a haircut. Received a text this morning to confirm, then an hour later, it was cancelled. Just rebooked, and it's at the same time, so I don't know what was going on there
Fingers crossed it won't be cancelled in another hour

Private sale and use of fireworks is banned in the City of Los Angeles and throughout most of L.A. County. That doesn't stop hundreds of my neighbors from putting on their own personal pyrotechnic shows. This year, they got a head start by setting off fireworks 24 hours early, on the night of Saturday the 3rd. Fortunately, the worst of it usually stops around midnight.I love the 4th of July, and I love my country, but DAMN.

(When I lived in the Valley, most of my friends bought their holiday fireworks in San Fernando, where they were legal. On the Westside, they got them in Culver City. Consumer sales of fireworks have since been banned in both those cities.)
My father likes to get a parking space as close to the entrance as possible, even if that means forgoing an entire sea of empty spaces, even if that means parking far away and walking would actually get you to the entrance much faster than waiting while someone takes their sweet time to vacate their spot.
I was frustrated to learn that Arby's has discontinued their potato cakes. I know it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but since I was a little kid, a roast beef sandwich and potato cakes is like comfort food to me. I remember my grandmother would always give me one of hers because she knew I liked them so much.
The locals here on Oahu set them off all year long. Fireworks aren’t sold anywhere on the islands, so they’re smuggled in on the cargo shipments, ‘friend of a friend’, etc.
Drives you nuts… it’ll quiet down for a week or two, then BOOM! out of the blue.
