25. I can't stand her voice either. I'm a woman. It's not because she's a woman.

There are male voices that drive me nuts too. I can't listen to Trump (not just his stupid, offensive content, but his voice itself).

Sorry, but there are certain people who have accents, inflections, and cadences that are highly annoying to me, and Hillary is one of them. Specifically, the highly exaggerated upper Midwest "a" sounds as in "aaaapple." Ugh. It's just grating. There are certain Texas accents I despise, too, like Phil Gramm's. Gawd, that is a bad one.
