According to Politico.com, here are some of President Barack Obama’s pet peeves:
- Missing his daughters’ concerts at school because of scheduling conflicts
- People trying to get him to wear baseball gear for teams other than the White Sox
- Missing his daily workout
- Photographers who take too many photos of him
- Makeup artists who powder his face before he does television

Hmm… Pet Peeves. Do you have any? I do. We all do. I am not sure why certain things irk us, but they do. Typically they are things we can’t change. And maybe that is what make it so frustrating. Here are some of my Pet peeves:
- A meal without avocado. JUST KIDDING! Although, all meals are better with avocado…
- Bicyclists who defy all traffic rules — basically they try and get the best of both worlds (auto/pedestrian). I remember the rules from road. They taught them to us in elementary school. Why aren’t they followed? I.e. You can’t ride through a cross walk. Get off your bike and walk. –Alas I am getting heated just thinking about it.
- People nodding their head as if they are listening to what is being said. The they talk start talking and it becomes clear they didn’t hear a word you said. Let’s face it, it is discouraging.
- Nail polish after it has chipped. I am dealing with this now. It is a hassle to remove it with nail polish remover (who has time for that?) and yet I know I shouldn’t peel it. Oh and it just looks bad. Pet peeve!
I will stop there. Ultimately we learn to live with or get over our pet peeves. But it does take time. What are some of you pet peeves?
