I don't know about me, but I've noticed it with my parents. They're from England and Scotland (although they've lived in NZ for over 30 years) and I notice that when they're on the phone to my grandparents their accents will get slightly stronger, paarticularly my dad (the Scottish one).

The lads and I usually adopt a Liverpudlian accent which usually ends up in fight to see which one of us is Ringo.
My friend and I sometimes speak in Yiddish accents, very poorly. We do that mostly in P.E. when we're really bored, we'll act like Jewish grandmothers.
"You're so skinny! You need more food! Come, eat some of Bubbe's matzo balls!"
Oh God, those Brooklyn accents are annoying. In fact all New York accents are annoying, especially those wise guy accents that makes guys sound like mobsters.
Just like in Family Guy.
my friend knows a yenta!

No, we do Yiddish accents. Not Brooklyn accents.
The only Yiddish accents I hear around here are the Brooklyn ones. Of course, other forms of Yiddish have different slurs depending on where people are from.
Yet nothing is nearly as annoying as listening a latino speak Spanglish.
