I too deal with many people with thick middle eastern accents. Lots of engineers. Great folks, very smart, but boy can it be hard especially on calls.

I struggle with pretty much any accent, and I feel like I'm offending the speaker. I think I had an easier time communicating with the deaf guy I used to work with, I learned some offensive ASL and we'd basically just swear at each other all day. Good times.

I deal with people all over the world, half my developers are in Serbia, great team and I can understand them fine. I enjoy them once I got over the fact that they sound like they're angry all the time. I have a harder time understanding people from the UK and Ireland than anywhere else

Indians are the fuckin worst, and I don't mean native americans. It doesn't matter if it's a man or woman. There's something about their cadence and the way they speak that I just can't understand. The words they say make no sense.

it all comes down to them asking you if you can take more money off of the price of the boat

You've never hung up on a call center just to redial and hopefully get an indian you can understand better?

good friend who came here from China via Taiwan. Telling me this long story involving rollerblading and her daughter. It's not making any sense but since it's just a CSB it really doesn't matter. about 10 minutes into it I figure out roller-blade = lullaby

so I'm driving to DE with a buddy this weekend to pick up tires for his Evo, and I'm pumped because we haven't hung out in a while and we're gonna stop for a lobster roll along the way. I'm a little salty that he doesn't get the Evo out, but his rear differential locked up semi-recently on the highway and it wasn't a fun time, so now he's a little gunshy with it.
it was difficult for me for a while, and then I started working closely with a couple for the past few years. now i can understand the accent pretty easily, just took some practice.

I'm really bad with thick accents. Whatever people are saying it just doesn't click with me. It's always been the worst with indians. A few weeks ago when we had a crew working on the roof one of the mexican guys asked me for a ladder. I went into the garage, moved a bunch of shit around, and dug out a ladder for him. I asked him if that would be good enough. He looked at me like, wtf? Then says, "I need a lighter, not a ladder."

I'm sorry I didn't mean to start this sharing my funny story.
