Accents

Why is it so, that people react negatively when they hear certain accents?

Personally, I react negatively to people speaking with a Stockholm accent. This afternoon when I'd cleaned the strawberry field from weeds, I heard a couple speaking very loud (please remember I live in a small town, doesn't need much to be loud) and these people spoke with the accent people have when they come from my country's capital Stockholm. I just don't like it. Why?  I know this has more to do with me as a person. I am a small and pitty person, who think that people with an accent believe that people living outside the capital are ignorant and doesn't know what is real in life. But as I said, this is more me than them.
This does not mean that I dislike all people coming from the Stockholm area, as long as they are quite…
Except from the 08 people, the day has been great. Sleeping in late, gardening, magazine reading and wine with friends…
