Get the Schadenfreude mug.A German phrase meaning "what a shame" and the equivilent of the French "quel dommage". When used, it is in a sarcastic tone to show sympathy which is not there. It can be accompanied by a raised eyebrow, and is best put to use after a particularly long and boring story that someone has just told. It helps if they don't know what you're talking about.
