Poll: How do “I told you so”'s make you feel?

1 points by jrs235 ↗ HN
Doing a little self-reflection today.

How do "I told you so"'s make you feel? This is from the viewpoint of you getting to say "I told you so" to someone else.

Feel free to elaborate on your reactions in the comments.

imo, "I told you so" is a reductive and toxic comment most of the time. It's analogous to rubbing a dogs nose in urine and thinking that'll have some beneficial effect. It doesn't and just makes you look mean-spirited.
