    I dont find any annoying, but I do find Russian women to have the most erotic accent of all.

    No. They're usually good people. However I sometimes find their accents annoying, sure.

    Example: Here, a lot of the TV shows are from America, which sucks for me, as I find the accent annoying. The people on the show may be lovely, funny, intelligent... but their accents drive me up the wall.

    Usually, I find accents to be quite fascinating.

    However, when I'm in line at the drive-thru and I can't understand what the heck that person is saying, then I have a problem.

    No. Because to them I have an accent and I can sound annoying to them.

    No.

    I only get annoyed with myself if their foreign accent is spoken in a language I don't understand, and wish I knew more langages.

    I find people from India to be VERY difficult in understanding when they speak English. For that reason ALONE it's annoying. It DOESN'T mean I DON'T like them!

    No. I'm only annoyed that sometimes I can't understand and have to ask them to repeat what they said more than once. (Hopefully THEY aren't annoyed with being asked to.)

    Not the people, usually. The accents can be though. Particularly in these examples: professions in which interaction with customers is involved. Then it can be a bit annoying.

    Be glad to them, thats a perfect sample of "bridging the gap" regardless of what dialect you are speaking when talking to him. .

    If nobody tried, we can never have that what we called "United Nations". .

    I've mixed experiences. Since I wear a hearing aid I struggle with Asian and African accents. I even get irritated with my own Northern Ireland accent as well as useless Scottish accents. However, I just love a rich London, Newyork or Melbourne accent
