I get so annoyed when people use your instead of you're.
It happens a lot, too.
They do it on TV, so I end up shouting at it. xD

Oh yeah, that pisses me off so badly.

My friends do that over instant-messaging.

I get them for it, though.

Them: Your stupid.

Me: My stupid what?

Hehe.

Oh GOD, I hate that. It's like my Karen, though. I pretend not to care unless it gets really annoying and I can't even tell what my friend or whatever is trying to tell me, and I ignore them. Then they send me a separate E-mail wondering why I didn't reply, and that's when I act bitchy. -_-

(('Karen' is a Dane Cook reference and also an inside joke.))

I'm willing to forgive things like that, but only if there is some form of effort made. The you're/your mistake is far less annoying than the then/than mistake that people always make...

And than I went to the store.

I always want to beat people, especially when they are speaking about intelligent or articulate they are.

Concerning the you're/your debate, what drives me absolutely bonkers is when they come up with their own way of compromising. With this:

YOUR'E

And the saddest thing is that I have to look at this every day from the door across the hall from me. Someone's big sister in a sorority did this. In college. It's positively ridiculous.

The there/their/they're debate also drives me up the wall.
