You must hate talking to someone with a different accent! Like, if said outloud, my last statement would sound more like "You must hate talkin' ta someone with a diff'rent accent". Bet it would drive you nuts. I'm gonna go with not normal on this one, but I might just be less easily annoyed than most people.
Kat444: Actually, no. Accents just set up a different mindset to abide to. In your example (southern), the tilt to the words doesn't bother me (e.g. for "hate" I'd say "heyt" and you'd say "haiyt", sort of). But the "diff'rent" would bother me because you're ignoring that "different" is a three-syllable word. It's hard to explain. But accents don't bother me.
Mentally correcting people's pronunciation ALL THE TIME.
