Earlier today, more than once and I wish I could find something stronger.
It’s not my fault my mother’s other daughter is a c*&^.
I usually do it Deniro-style, a’la “You talking to me?” in the mirror.
One day I was driving behind some guy doing between 35 and 40 in a 50MPH. I was passing him when he blew his horn and when I looked over he flipped me the bird. He had to be over 80.
I was so surprised I started laughing.
About three weeks ago I used an Italian equivalent, but I was quite drunk and regret it now.
I hadn’t used it seriously for about fifteen years before that.
I usually yell it back at men who scream obscene things at me as they are passing in cars. Otherwise I can’t recall saying it seriously to someone’s face.
Yesterday. And the day before that, and probably every day for my adult life. Usually just when some nincompoop almost hits me crossing the street when I’m on foot, then it’s on. Usually a little more than just FU – at a minimum, “fuck this, you cocksucker,” or something similar, accompanied by gestures.
Not in jest, not halfway playing around, not behind their back, well maybe not behind her back. Not vile either, although it was preceded by, “I want to” 
Oh, that’s not what you meant? Well earlier this week I went to get gas, as I’m walking in to prepay this car pulls up front & a female gets out of the passenger seat. I admit I could have been more of a gentleman & held the door open for her to pass thru first but I didn’t want to wait in line while she bought cigarettes & the clerk had to search in vain for the magic pack (as usually seems to be the case). When she finally came out, I was pumping my gas, she opened the door & was having a conversation with the driver (who also had a box of smokes on her lap) for my benefit. All I heard was, “I know, right?” Oh now they’re both gonna mix it up? Well, “Fuck you dragons!” As they’re pulling out, the driver questioned my Dragons comment.
Yesterday, I gave a WTF gesture…to a cop. It was his fault & he got the 'ell outta my way. I was on the bike trail at dusk. He was driving towards me, in an unmarked vehicle, without any lights on; emergency or headlights. The trail is paved to the width of one vehicle, meaning there was no where for me to go. I held my arms out with my hands up & he pulled to the side. Because it was unmarked & lower light, I didn’t realize what he was.

I don’t generally bother getting into arguments with people I don’t care about, and if I care about someone, I don’t believe in cursing at them, ever. It’s on a list of absolute no-nos for me – no argument should ever rise to that level for two people who respect one another.
That being said, I believe I’ve only directed that to someone’s face once. It was the last night that I spent with my then-wife before we split up. I hope I never do again.
To my wife - last nite - in the interrogatory sense.
She agreed.
Last Wed the 9th. I was in class and had to tell a guy to quiet down so I could hear the professor. After class he confronted me and demanded an apology for my being rude to him. I said no and he said I would respect him or else. That’s when I said Fuck You.
He’s had a week to mull it over, we’ll see tomorrow.
I apologized and she had even forgotten about it. LOL
