road schadenfreude

You're driving along, minding your own biz, when some jackass cuts you off. You keep your eye on him, and eventually he gets stuck behind someone in another lane, and you fly by him. You are experiencing road schadenfreude.

Dude cut me off , but the road schadenfreude when I passed him later was delish!

semi schadenfreude

1. a kind of joyous or victorious feeling that one experiences when some type of misfortune befalls a competitive friend or frenemey, which is immediately followed by guilt

Dude 1: Kurt's ex-grilfriends have started a band, and they make fun of him really bad in all of their songs. Guess what? They just got offered a major label record deal for a lot of money.

Dude 2: Wow. Well, I'm experiencing a kind of semi schadenfreude right now. Kurt is my pal, but he definitely had it coming.
