"You're" Syndrome
A syndrome that is caught when someone is around a Grammar Nazi who always corrects incorrect usage of "your" for "you're." After being around Grammar Nazis, people will oftentimes develop a case of "You're" Syndrome.
These people will use "you're" regardless of context, including when "your" is actually the appropriate word. This is an act of carelessness and/or misunderstanding.
