Most irritating regional accent?
Scouse or Brummie for me, whichever I've heard most recently.
My favourite is Welsh or Geordie!

I was pondering this recently actually, following an encounter with a particularly stupid man from Leeds.
I don't think any accent is automatically irritating, but I think that if someone is talking twaddle then certain accents amplify and concentrate the irritation. The highest irritation multiplier for me goes to "Essex call-centre", followed closely by "Bristolian tradesman" and "Northern self-important manager". |

Anything that isn't spoken well, a common lazy edge to a regional accent is awful.
My office is in Essex and many of them appear to have speech impediments. It's truly awful and grinds my gears, when it gets to the point that you can't pronounce words correctly due to your accent it's time to get some help.

This, for the sheer comic value. But really, Brum followed closely by Scouse.

West Midlands / Black Country, fuck me it's hard living among them.
It's like a region of fuckwits (yes, probably why I ended up here). I sort of lost my rag last week and just had bit of a rawrr moment lol. Ended up shouting out that they were a bunch of inbred fuckwits, queue a lad from Dudley telling me I should control my temper (in full dialect), I just banged my head repeatedly against my desk. I don't like Geordie lasses that have a very broad accent, same with scouse birds. |

Scouse and Brum getting lots of nods. It can't be just the mangling of words that irritates as some accents that do this sound quite nice.
Is it that they make the speaker sound thick as mince that irritates?

My family is Scouse from both sides and the Scouse that most people hear and associate with Liverpool isn't traditional Scouse, it's scally which sounds ridiculous, actual Scouse is a much gentler accent not like the harsh shite that most people associate with Liverpool.
I cringe when I hear the fake put on over exaggerated accent. I'm assuming the same could be said of many accents. Last edited by Broncho; 04-16-2017 at 03:12 PM.. |

Having moved back to Northern Ireland to retire early at the tender age of 50, after having spent most of my adult life in Edinburgh and London, I find the local accent trying, even though I still have the underlying dipthongs. What is most trying is the dropping of the final g from anything ending in -ing. It's just plain lazy and almost everyone does it. The Scots do it and Matt Baker also does it on the one show. Bah humbug. Mind you, over here, everyone thinks I'm English and in London, everyone thought I was Scottish.

Birmingham accent was voted most laughable back in early 2000's by a MORI pol! Ear ache right there. Whenever my second cousin visits from there I just want to lamp him one.

Brummie or equally the "inner city" chav accent like my nieces have to a degree and their friends have a lot (living next to Croydon). I guess that's the same sort of thing as TouringPleb was mentioning.
