Does anyone else dislike accents?

I thought I was the only one, that really disliked accents. But as I go along in life, there are a few who don’t. Admittedly a soft accent can be charming. But the more pronounced it becomes the more distasteful it becomes to me. I can tolerate American accents oddly. But any other particularly British, apologies in advance not meaning to offend anyone here that is Brits I cant stand. Unless it is slighter upper class. I don’t even enjoy the french English speaking accent. I have almost a phobia about it! I think the most important thing for me is being clear in speech and being articulate.

How do you feel about heavy accents? Or accents and dialect in general?
