ich hasse dich


Explanation:
I don't absolutely agree with the formal version "Ich hasse Sie" mentioned above, as "Ich hasse Sie2 sounds rather artificial to my (German) ears.

Either you're furious and simply say "Ich hasse dich", or you're still thinking about formalities like the "Sie" and then you'd be more likely to say something like "Ich kann Sie nicht ausstehen" - I can't stand (looking at, being around) you anymore.

my two cents' worth - HTH,
