Hello,
This is a phrase not often used. I'm a native speaker but I had to look it up to make sure it meant what I thought it did. I can't recall using it more than once in my life-time.
As you probably know, it means that the outcome of something isn't going to turn out well.
I guess if I bought a car that looked bad the sentence would be: 'I should've seen the writing on the wall when I bought that car'.
Or 'my friends told me he wasn't a good guy but I didn't see the writing on the wall' - you didn't see what was obvious, that the guy wasn't going to be a good boyfriend/friend.
I hope that helps a bit :)
