schadenfreude

When I was 24 I gave myself a black eye because I was too lazy to turn on the light in my bedroom. Fully sober, I attempted to make it from the door to my bed and ended up tripping on, and into, an antique chair. The black eye that resulted from this moment of genius boasted an impressive color palette. It was not my finest moment. Fortunately, I am not alone in my supremely dumb injury. These stories make me feel a hell of a lot better about my life and choices.

Don't you just love when that sweet schadenfreude gets rightfully handed to the entitled? We certainly do.

A scammer got trolled hard while allegedly trying to buy a barbecue pit from a lawyer who immediately caught on to his phony payment scheme. The scammer attempted to use a fake check, which would've given the him access to the lawyer's bank account, but instead, trolling hilarity ensued.

(Obvious) moral of the story? Never try to scam a lawyer.

This rude customer definitely got the royal schadenfreude treatment!

Can't say we'd like to walk a mile in their shoes. But gosh, do we love schadenfreude. 

This is sure to make you rage.
