Scheiterfreude

(n.) SHY-ter-froy-duh from German 'scheitern' (to fail) + 'Freude' (joy)

The perverse pleasure one gets from watching their own life go down in flames, usually followed by posting about it on social media. Like Schadenfreude's self-destructive cousin who never learned to adult properly. Or Schadenfreude's self-loathing cousin who lives in their parents' basement.

When you're laughing at your own mess-ups because hey, at least they'll make a great story later.

You decide to paint your living room for the first time. It ends up looking like a Jackson Pollock painting, but without the artistic intent. You share a selfie in front of your "new art installation" with the hashtag #Scheiterfreude
When you're laughing at your own mess-ups because hey, at least they'll make a great story later.

"After sending that drunk text to my ex, deleting my thesis by accident, and setting my microwave on fire - all in one day - I just sat there experiencing pure Scheiterfreude while eating cold ravioli straight from the can."

"After missing my train, spilling coffee on my white shirt, and sending that embarrassing email to the entire company instead of just my work bestie, I'm sitting here experiencing pure Scheiterfreude while crafting the perfect self-roasting tweet."
