Has anyone told you to go fuck yourself?

Inspired by the excellent thread ’Just tell them to go fuck themselves’ - has anyone ever told YOU to go fuck yourself?

(and if so did you actually deserve it or not?)

No one has told me to go fuck myself. I have not told anyone to go fuck themselves. But: I have often found myself hearing from people that they wish they'd told him to go fuck himself, usually a stranger doing something so atrocious or rude that they are temporarily dumbfounded. We need a "Lost Connections" style column - "Missed Fuck Yous" or something wittier - where you can take out the advert where you finally get to tell him to go fuck himself.

"Northern line, Bank branch, southbound, 8am on Monday. You were wearing a stained Superdry anorak and jeans too clingy for your age, I was the thoughtful woman sitting opposite with a long to-do list in my head. I don't care if you think I would be really pretty if I smiled and I hope your day was shit. Fuck you."

I fully accept that someone may in fact use this medium to retrospectively tell me to fuck off, but I think it's worth it.

Yes, by my dear, dear mother. Because I dared to question (very calmly and politely) something she’d said to my DD. I asked her to sit down and discuss it with me, she slapped me as hard as she could, told me to go fuck myself and screamed about involving social services on her way out the door. She then sped off extremely quickly before coming back five minutes later as she’d forgotten her glasses. She was given her glasses and told (still calmly) not to come back.

That was four years ago, we’ve been no contact since.

No and would definitely curl in a ball and cry if they did..

Yes 20 years ago by a guy I was seeing. It was a casual relationship that went on too long. He finished it twice and I said okay and then we would get back together. I ended it and he reacted by telling me to go fuck myself. Funnily enough I never saw him again and the on off relationship was forever off.

@SenselessUbiquity there were two columns in our local listing magazine - "I saw you" lost connections type thing and "I'm sore at you" eg wanker in a BMW that cut me up at the lights.

I’m a teacher. I’ve lost count of how many times.

RubyJam · 21/12/2021 22:35

Working at night at the weekends I’ve frequently heard it but it’s the Scottish version
“ away n take a fuck tae yerself “

Also personally had the Scottish classic
“ cheer up hen it might never happen “ too many times to count , which clearly means I am a sour faced git Grin

No; I've been told to fuck off more than once, but I always thought 'Go fuck yourself' was specifically American. When Cheney was Vice President, he famously told a Democratic senator to go fuck himself - it might have not attracted so much notice if he hadn't said it in his role as presiding officer of the Senate.

Sideswiped · 21/12/2021 22:40

Not actually been told to fuck myself, but many years ago, a male arsehole in a (rather nice) wine shop took offence for a reason I have never been able to fathom, told me 'may you be the mother of many fatherless children' which to all intents and purposes is the same.... It was in Cambridge. Grin

Wrongkindofovercoat · 21/12/2021 22:41

Yes and a lot worse, when I worked on a gastro ward. Some of the shifts felt like a theatre of war, but noisier and with more blood.

WeatherwaxOn · 21/12/2021 22:42

Yes.
And I didn't deserve it.
It was a white van man. Parked up on white zig zag lines beside a zebra crossing. At school drop off time. The crossing is right outside a primary school.
I asked him to move as it was extreme dangerous. He got aggressively in my face.

Youdoyoutoday · 21/12/2021 22:45

Yep but I worked behind bars and door security so numerous times, many times! And I laughed at each and every one of them!

AnotherOneWithNoGoodName · 21/12/2021 22:45

Lots, but it was when I was a teenager and that was the kind of way we spoke to our friends!
I don't think anybody has said it while seriously meaning it.

RoseMartha · 21/12/2021 22:46

One of my teens says it to me regularly when I dont deserve it. But usually when I refuse to wait on her like a servant. I mean she will call me saying its urgent and then want me to to pass her, her drink which is six foot from where she is sitting then swear and rant when I say no I am not your servant. And yes I might be closer to it at that point but it is the principal of the matter.

HeadCreature · 21/12/2021 22:49

A parent in school - because I had called him in to discuss his son's violent behaviour and constant swearing in school ...

Luredbyapomegranate · 21/12/2021 22:54

Not as often as I’ve told them.

Bouledeneige · 21/12/2021 23:03

Of course.

cheeseislife8 · 21/12/2021 23:07

A drunk man in a pub once said this to me, genuinely no idea why. So I'd say no, I didn't deserve it!

FissionMailed · 21/12/2021 23:10

Tons of times.

I've also told tons of people to go fuck themselves.

Elphame · 21/12/2021 23:13

Actually yes - just this morning.

I always count it a win when I wind up a scammer to this point.It was the NHS Covid scam if anyone wants to know.

They get angrier still when you laugh at their response

“ away n take a fuck tae yerself “ Is positively poetic 🪶
Angryattrackandtrace · 21/12/2021 23:17

I say it to my husband all the time. Usually out of context e.g H:” can you grab some toilet paper when you go shopping” me “absolutely not, go fuck yourself” and then we either both laugh or we continue it e.g h “that’s fine, I think you’re a turd anyway..”

So immature but you do what you gotta do to keep the laughter and spark eh…

TopTabby · 21/12/2021 23:18

Yes by a taxi driver about 20 years ago.
I probably did deserve it as I was being loud & obnoxious. I was really drunk & called him something, I can't remember what.
I laughed but I remember a girl I was with being really shocked which did make me think about my drinking & behaviour.
I would never behave like that nowBlush
