Never.
But I dislike rude behavior with a passion. And no one benefits from saying I told you so.

Wow. You people are too nice.
I don't use the phrase itself, "I told you so" but I almost always remind them that I advised against doing something.
Maybe they'll give my opinion more weight next time.

that said, I'll do it as often as possible...

Me: If you didn't disagree with me, you wouldn't have to.
Wife:

What Buzz said. IMHO it is utterly crass to say those words or anything close. It is far better to let the other person come to their own realization that you told them so, with no help from you.
