"How dare you?!"

This is a fairly common phrase in English to express distaste with someone's actions that they find offensive. How would someone say this in Spanish? I would imagine that it couldn't be a literal translation.

When you put "dare" in the dictionary, this is one of the examples it gives:

how dare you! -> ¡cómo te atreves!

And just to back up the dictionary, I've heard this in conversation and a song lyric. - MacFadden, May 29, 2010

I wonder if it is close to the idiomatic expression, "¡A ver si se atreve!", which means "I dare you to!" I understand that they have different meanings but maybe it's something like "¡Comó se atreve!" ¡No espero para este contesta!
