#Example- She was doing so wonderfully in her new job. The truth is I am more qualified but she was beat me out on that promotion that I really wanted at TRUMP Enterprises. In fact, she has just bought her dream house. One week later the accident happened. Horrible situation! She lost her husband and mother-in-law.?That’s too bad (NOT) 😀

There was a lot of schadenfreude at the company picnic this year whereas no one liked her anyway. In fact privately we had many giggles.

SoCal Seasonal Schadenfreude

The experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles of severe winter weather “back east,” in other parts of the country where one had previously lived, while on a beach or in a pool in the Southern Californian sun at 65°F or higher.

So many posted weather app screenshots about how gnarly cold it is that I got SoCal Seasonal Schadenfreude, fer sher.
