Ugh is such a well-known phrase that pretty much everyone will understand what you mean when you use it. You may use it at the beginning or end of a sentence or just as a standalone reaction to something distressing.

Examples of when people use it include hearing that their midterm has been moved up a week, reacting to your favorite athlete getting injured, or seeing the celebrity couple you've shipped for years is breaking up.
