Bostonian and California "valley girl."
Really all of the northeastern US accents are pretty annoying but Boston's is easily the worst.

  Add the historic racism (See: The late, great Bill Russell, who as a 1956-69 Boston Celtic described Beantown as "a flea market of racism") and the Boston accent can be somewhat off-putting.

No, I enjoy all accents. I haven't been able to understand Klingon, though you can generally tell what they're saying from their intonation and volume.

That abomination that is urban, street slang. It’s an immediate turn off on every level.

Canadians are very nice people but I swear a lot of them make me feel like I'm watching that movie Fargo and I want to go listen to some nails on a chalkboard. New York/Philly/Boston all kind of annoy me too.

I'm not a fan of Northern European accents. Also, the Cockney accent is like nails on a chalkboard.

I don't think I have a problem with any of them but, my ex-fiance hated it when I would speak her language (Telugu) mixed with English and spoken with a French accent.

The New York, New Jersey accent is the most annoying I have heard.

Not a fan of Indian and Chinese accents. Like they're funny to hear, but not exactly attractive.

Yea I knew a kid who talked Spanish that kinda slurred his words in weird ways, you'd fake laugh at his jokes just to get him to shut up.

  It would appear that there is no English accent that could not seduce an American.

  Meh. JOkes aside, I tend to find English accents annoying. I don't particularly enjoy any of them.

  @ProbablyClueless She is touring with her band and I understand she has a boyfriend so I respect that.
  
  I feel like we were vibing when we met though. She has a nice accent but it also kind of cuts through the room, ha.

  I've had several British girls tell me that they love my voice/accent. I kind of have a southern/country meets Philly/NY voice. I think Americans and Brits just have a soft spot for each other.

  @ProbablyClueless tbh that's the vibe I was getting, but I also am aware she's also being polite and is probably abounding with energy after giving a gig. I really got the impression she liked me. I do think what makes the British / American dynamic so nice is because we're kind of diametrically opposed to each other in terms of how our accents sound. Mine is kind of 'proper' and stoccato whereas hers is bold, confident, drawling and brash in a nice sort of way. We just sound really different. I wonder how I sounded to her ears.

I enjoy accents. I find Persian a bit grating.

While I like the people a New Jersey accent (even NYC) can be a bit much... but the people are great

Yeah and it's funny. I can't stand to hear French spoken by a man. It sounds so feminine. But a girl speaking French... OOh, Lala.
