I don't because you never know who will see it someday. I do load up on snark and sarcasm though.

Entertaining thread. To my knowledge, I only used one bad word, and I'll probably re-factor it out later 
The sarcasm and snarky stays.

My first boss didn't allow profanity in code, since he'd want to be able to show the code to the customers. That wasn't limited to comments, but also the naming of variables and such.
Bad code is exactly that; and someone paid for it

Never profanity on code that is for use by others, when I'm learning stuff, oh dear, mind you have use the odd Monty Python, Star Trek quote.

I never do it.
I worked for a short period for a company where the head developer did it and it just had this really icky feel to it.
Just think, when you swear in the office people can hear it for than instant, but when you swear in code it's there for everyone to see and you are imposing your brain fart on them every time they read that code(sure it can be refactored but it will be there in the version history).
I don't want to impose my temporary profane and negative mental states on other people who come across my code.
Crikey that sounds like I am some ##&#&!#ing holier than thou mendicant!

Nope, I often swear at computers but I try not swear on them.
I will occasionally throw in a "WTF????" as a temporary marker but it's been many years since I used the full text in a comment.

Funny story...not long ago I put a few unsavory comments when I was interrupted numerous times while working on a piece of code. The code in question, when deployed to the customer refused to run. 
My first thought was that the bad comments had somehow caused it, so I immediately removed the coarse language, recompiled, redeployed and guess what?...it still didn't work!

Can't have profanity if you don't have comments :P

Lots of places where you could, but not should 
The using-clause may be especially tempting.

I don't put profanity in, but I can get a bit snarky, and will not hesitate to lambast MS, et al for glaring shortcomings.

Never. I did name a boolean variable "HellFreezesOver" and then set it to false. I then used it as

Because you basically can't...
I'm trying to schedule one, but when I click the "Schedule exam >" button I get a blank page.
Opening the console shows some JavaScript errors.
So I decide to use Edge instead of Chrome.
I don't think that should matter in 2019... And it doesn't because it's broken on Edge too 
Only on IE am I able to schedule an exam
