Most annoying accents?

Welsh accent is really annoying after a while. At first it sounds ok, but then it just gets irritating.

Do people think the generic British accent is like how the Queen speaks?

For the ladies, some times.

Most end up sounding like Sir Bedevere in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. :(
 
I hate the non-rhotic American accents (the ones that don't pronounce r's), specially the New England accents, the Southern Coastal accent, and most black accents.

Southern doesn't bother me that much (probably b/c I've lived here since I was little), unless it has a really heavy drawl.

I also don't like the high-pitched Indian accents. There are some guys in my classes who sound like their voices are at least an octave too high. It sounds like their balls are permanently in a vise grip.

Actually almost every state (that I know of) has multiple accents just within themselves. I know Maryland has more than a couple.
Very true. There is a mountain, B-more, southern, eastern shore, ocean city, Kent island, and then the awesome "cheasapeak tide water basin" that streches from Deal north to Glen Dirty and west in to Laurel and Temple Hills. There is also the "Beltway" accent that is a mishmash of all the imports into D.C..
 
The Rhode Island accent is terrible. It's sort of a cross between the New York and Boston accents, which are both annoying in their own right.
 
Central New Jersey slang

Please, sir, may I borrow some bottled water?

yo, caneye bara sum bo'lyd wa'er? (for authenticity, try saying this in less than 2 seconds)

People have right to make fun of us. :)

I probably have mostly a Kent Island accent :D Our track coach had a deep eastern shore accent and we had great fun in trying to mimick his talk.
 
A heavy German accent is a bit grating.

But you'd love my accent. I'm from Oregon, meaning that I don't have an accent!

Nah you do it's just that most people have such an obvious accent that yours is indistinct. I've never heard an American or seen one I couldn't peg as an American.

There are no annoying accents only annoying people.:)

I don't know, I was extremely annoyed with the accent the Massachussets anti-Gay marriage politician had when he came to our school to debate. It was such a dreadful accent.

The black guy accent from the bay area sounds the same as the black guy accent nationwide to me
:confused: :confused: :confused: When I was in the Reno Job Corps you could tell a guy from oakland from a guy from northtown (northvegas) in an instant, same with the mexican guys (and the white and asian guys for that matter)

English with spanish accent is awful. But it sounds quite funny when I think about it. -esse!
:confused: :confused: It's actually S A it is cop code for Spanish American (In Anehim (sp?) in the 60s anyway)
It is not how Mexican people actually talk it is the way they talk when they learn english entierly in the U.S. and they were born in mexico, and it is only some of them at that. My cousin in mexico sounds like a european when he speakes english because he learned all of it in school. The people who do have engllish as a first language and sound funny only have it for one generation. Everyone tells me I sound like a white guy but it was mostly white people in my house growing up *shrug*
 
The worst are the various east coast accents from Philedelphia up to Boston. They are all incredibly annoying though different from each other. They make people sound stupid.
 
That really strong American one in the countryside is awful.
