THIS REALLY BUGS ME!

You're= you are
Your= (a form of the possessive case of you used as an attributive adjective): Your jacket is in that closet. I like your idea.

There= doesn't describe people. ex. i want to go over THERE.
Their= possessive ex. I want to have their seats at the red sox game.

COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

I agree. Doesn't it just drive you crazy when people make elementary grammatical errors like:
1. not capitalizing the letter i when it refers to a person as in I want to go over there.
2. not capitalizing proper nouns as in I want to have their seats at the Red Sox game.
3. omitting quotation marks when something has been voiced as in "Come on people!!!!"
4. define a term such as 'there' by citing what it is not.
