I immediately have strong negative feelings about the person who uses it, and I judge them. I stereotype them all as having extremely low intelligence and disregard anything they have to say afterwards. Then I become very condescending towards them in a way that they don't notice because they're too dumb. I don't even feel bad. I'm already signed up!

From clear sky thinking outside the box to brainstorming and every abomination between. One phrase that gets up my nose is "fill out (a form)". You can fill in a form, or make out a form; but unless you're a female wearing a tight top or a male in tight jeans you cannot fill out anything. Oh, and another one just struck me: "different than". Land's sake, people, "different" is a comparative - you're comparing one thing to another. Thus it's "different to". Don't make me come down there..!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Any diminutives in my native tongue. They drive me absolutely insane
In English....literally. No matter how hard I try, I can't fucking pronounce it -_- 
I don't hate any particular word, but I loathe the misuse, overuse or abuse of certain words; mostly because it gives me insight to how poor someone's mind is. Take for instance the word crazy. It's a most excellent word with multiple meanings, simultaneously playful and potentially insulting. For the last three or four years, every idiot near a microphone can be heard referring to anything and everything crazy...
Brown bananas for sale...crazy. Shoelace untied...crazy. Hear a good singer...crazy. Enjoy an outing...crazy. Win the lottery...crazy. Get hit by a stray bullet...crazy. See a good movie...crazy See a bad movie...crazy It's as if someone magically purged all other adjectives from the English language. 
Oh that reminds me.
I will punch anyone who says "cray-cray" in my presence right in the gooch.

Alas poor syllabus, a useful word meaning a summary of content usually of the material to be studied in a class or the salient points of a legal opinion. Syllabus has long since been perverted by grade school teachers to mean a contract of adhesion concerning grading policy, due dates, and class discipline to be signed by student and parent under threat of receiving an F on said syllabus. I like to send said teachers on F on vocabulary. (Can you tell it's syllabus signing season here?)
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
