The Buzzard Baptist accent. You can only experience it if you live in the Bible Belt of the American Southeast. It is VERY specific, and it is like having nails driven into your skull. It's a combination of a southern accent, profanity, Ebonics, and constant Bible verse quoting. There is nothing like it.

This may sound racist, but I'm gonna have to say Indian. Don't blame me, blame big corporations that outsource their tech support. I've had some particularly traumatizing experiences with outsourced tech support, and if you call up and get someone with an Indian accent, that's a good sign that you are doomed. So now I associate Indian accents with mediocre corporations and ineptitude at the repair shop. Thanks big corporations, for ruining Indian accents for me. I used to like those.

Thick accents from the southern areas of the US accents always make me grind my teeth; not to mention that American teenagers are so bloody prone to saying "like" all the time. :p

I don't hate any of these. I have to listen carefully to understand some of the stronger Irish and Scottish ones, though. I like when people from New York say 'coffee'. Cwoaafee. Cwoffee. However you say it.

I don't like Julia Gillard's accent.

Don't hate the accent, hate the person speaking with it.

I see a lot of people hating on the southern/midwestern accent, and I mostly agree. But, I find a guy with a deep, gravely voice speaking in a southern drawl and, ohmigodwow, I wanna have his man-babies.
In my book, it all depends on the person speaking.

My local accent and idioms. I don't have much of any accent because I thought the way people in my town spoke was wrong. Just inherently wrong.

Boomhauer, from King of the Hill.
Ugh, this accent by a mile. I've actually run into people that speak like this. They do exist and they are actually underplaying how hard to understand they are. I actually somewhat understand at times what boomhauer is saying at least.

SO much hate on Southern USA accent's. -_-"
Hell yes I hate it. I live in the south, nobody can understand what you're saying in that deep south gibberish. If you have a southern accent fine, but this bizarre Louisianan french-english-japanese-boomhauer whatever the hell mix and match crap sounds totally unintelligible.
another example:

This accent seems equally annoying too, but I don't live in the UK:

Double negative completely defeated your point there good chap.

"aren't a result of English not being their mother tongue" = are a result of English being their mother tongue.
He said we should focus on accents that are a result of English being the first language. That means we shouldn't ridicule non-native accents. It may have been unnecessary but the double negative expressed exactly what he meant. You do not get a Gold Star in English class today.

The only English accents I absolutely cannot stand are the fake ones. The most offensive example is easily the stereotypical Southern drawls. It's a disgusting mix of Dixie and stupid. Probably doesn't help that there's always some moron who thinks I'm an idiot as soon as I drop a y'all.

I usually find most accents pretty agreeable, but there's a certain type of New Jersey accent that just makes me want to scream and slap the person across the head.

American inner-city. The one where "this" is replaced with "dis" and similar illiterate-sounding substitutions. No matter how intelligent the speaker really is, it makes him sound like his IQ is a good thirty points lower than it actually is.

What amazes me is that this is the best thing I've found for American accents. Breaking it down in an understandable way for people.
Pretty sure they have one for the UK as well.

[a href=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AmericanAccents]Yeah, it's TV tropes[/a]
Thank you for that. That was pretty hilarious. Especially for these quotes:

"Genuine Midwestern is now limited in area and may be endangered in the wild, as it has been encroached upon by Inland North from the Great Lakes, Southern from south and east, and Mountain from the west."

"While most of the Latinos in other states are from one or two areas (Mexicans in California, Puerto Ricans in New York), Florida has a huge mix of Central American, Caribbean and South American accents. God help you if you confuse them, especially Venezuelan for Peruvian or Colombian. And remember, Brazilians speak Portugese, not Spanish, as they will handily remind you numerous times."

The second one reminded me of one of the reasons I hated high school so much. We had so many central and south american kids from all sorts of countries that hated each other. Making any mistakes would get you a punch in the face or a lecture. Always a lecture if the kid was Brazilian. Sometimes you'd get lectured by the Brazilian kids even if you didn't say anything.
