ike, for example, enjoying someone who bullied you as a child, was stolen car?
Or someone other cut tires in their car xD How unfortunate xD
Or get cheated by husband or wife?
Or someone who is very Very pious, but you know that such a person is not that pious as it seem, all just learned out she found out that her / his daughter / son who is supposed to give it 15 years is f*****g with his / her girlfriend / boyfriend, and this is by no means a fresh thing, but that they are f*****g, let's give it to us for 3 years, in other words, they have to mathematically recognize that they have to start doing it from the age of 13!

The term is "Schadenfreude", meaning "Dark Joy", and yes, I have enjoyed other people's misfortune, especially those who bullied me as a child. Most of them are dead, and most of those who are dead died either from a self-induced injury or illness, or they died from a debilitating disease that wasted them away and caused them great suffering.
They are truly gone, and truly not forgotten ...

LOL have the same and heard the term "Schadenfreude" somewhere
Every year I used to go to such a summer camp for adolescents and teenagers with ADHD, Asperger Syndrome like my down syndrome or epilepsy or for the first time with a marijuana joint and a our beloved Polish judiciary in their infallibility wisdom that they would stay in that camp instead of a correction house (prisoner for kids), though most 90% of vacationers were there with their own unrestrained will.
But there was one such a very disciplined scout he had then 15 and I 16, although he looked like an adult and so on, with so far exemplary service, with a lot of scouting skills with a fairly high scouting rank or whosoever is called there (he himself in the Polish Scouting Association never I was not), the pattern of Polish patriotism can be said, apart from one he was caught with a marijuana joint at his scout camp, he landed from scouting camp in NFZ (like British NHS state health care resort) in a camp for Downs, Autists and epileptics, etc. xD
But I was also tormented by such a kid at my age I was 15 years old, maybe a little but not much, maybe a year or something, younger (about 14 years old), but very agile and athletic, he called me fat (but with facts I do not argue), pigs, and stupid autistic writers, even though f*****g f**k himself had ADHD (I do not have this condition) so he pushed me to show who is the alpha male, or if he got this he was thinking, I finally hit him all over strength in the solar plexus, then he got in the mouth, and kick in the eggs, then he was already lying on the ground and threatening, I hit him with a PVC tube, just happened to be so happy that the foremen exchanged central heating in the camp.
Then we were both scolded by the tutor, this gentleman was an activist of NSZZ Solidarność, he liked all the children very much, he was a dissident for communism, he scared me that if I beat him harder that he would have been sick for more than 7 days, I could be sentenced by a court to 3 mcy to 5 years for it, I said that he started and I have a constitutional right to self-defense, but the teacher said that our Polish law is f****d up and I could be convicted for excessive force given the fact this jerk was already lying on the ground when he got a pipe
(But this is my most revered memory from my teenage years, I will beat someone someone instead of me xD (feel soo good )
And the funniest thing is that after all this we became buddies

There was a man who had said sexually inappropriate comments to me when I worked in town. One day I was looking out the window at the courthouse lawn I saw him slip in the wet grass and roll down a slope. I enjoyed it very much and laughed out loud.

OH YEA! i LOVE to gloat at some (inject derogatory definition) getting what they deserve. yes, i am generally a bad person))) and, i do give them what they deserve, every time i can. and i enjoy that. for example, i have a crackpot neighbour who would have harassed me for years. long story short, new neighbours we got are giving her more than she can handle now xD AND i gloat. because well, she'd gone over a line 10 too many times. and ya i dont take sh(IT) from anybody, especially her, but her getting some from others (and not being able to harass a whole family, at that) is really enjoyable. same with many other cases. but no, i dont gloat when somebody innocent gets hurt. i rush to help. because i am a bad person and want to feel better about myself))) (and for crystals, that was a joke. the last phrase, that is)))

I like watching instant karma videos.
On a personal level there's a person who victimized a family member, who got off the hook after having gotten a slap on the wrist for victimizing someone before that. I googled his name one day and found out he had finally been given a lengthy prison sentence for victimizing someone else. So I feel a sense of satisfaction that he finally got what he deserves.

Really?
Yes, really.
I've tried, but it doesn't give me any pleasure at all. Seeing someone get karma is still having to see/think about the person who abused you, and that gives me sick feelings, not enjoyment.

I don't get pleasure out of it no matter who it is. I just have too much empathy to enjoy others' suffering - even if I want someone to get a taste of their own medicine, so to speak (which is the only way I ever wish harm on anyone - to teach them a lesson about what they've done/are doing), it never ends up bringing joy to me if it happens.
