Jersey accent is my most annoying.
Chicago accent far more annoying to me. Whiney and nasaly. think Hillary Clinton or Dan Akroyd in the Blues Brothers.
It’s Valley-Girl for me. It’s worked its way across the country and exists even in women who don’t know it.
This is only because Ted Kennedy’s fat face automatically pops into people’s heads when they hear one.
What qualifies as a Midwestern accent? Southern is also much too vague
I’ll go along with that. Along with the most unfriendly residents. I’ve lived all over the country. Wilmington, DE and Boston are tied for most unfriendly. Anywhere south of Richmond, VA is consistently more friendly by a ton.
I met a guy in college from Boston and initially I thought he was a foreign exchange student.
Speaking of which, the survey only asked about White accents. Are the non-White accents not "American" enough to be considered?
The smart people in Boston generally don’t have an Boston accent; even more so the smart people in NY generally don’t have a NY accent.

Baston.

I have a pretty deep Boston accent.
I’d have to agree with that ranking.
I don’t find accents annoying. I find them interesting.

It’s a rare combination that makes one sound arrogant and ignorant at the same time.
When he was campaigning in Iowa, addressing a crowd of farmers, he posed the rhetorical question, "What's wrong with the American fah-mah today?" One of the farmers called out, "We're stah-ving."
Well, there was Major Winchester’s Boston accent on M*A*S*H, I wonder if that was a realistic depiction? I don’t recall hearing one being depicted or imitated on St Elsewhere, save for William Daniels’ Dr. Craig character.
The Baltimore accent is the worst
So, in these dangerous days of pandemics and Russian invasions, this is good shit to know.
