I don't think I've ever called or referred anyone like that in real life, no.
"You have to talk to that right handed person there"
"You, heterosexual, are next"
You know why I've never done that? Because I don't care about somebrandom persons sexuality, or handedness, or how he identifies his gender.
You know why I don't? Because nobody does. This is the real world and I don't want to have to deal with your issues when all I need you to do is hand me that bottle of something I want to buy.
If I were to get to know you a little more intimate, you know, becoming close friends, something romantic, then sure, tell me all about your quirks, we all have em.
On a side note: cis has been used for a long time as a prejorative as well, so using it is also akin to calling a gay person a faggot. We don't do that either, because it's a shit thing to say.
