griefing

A griefer is a player in a multiplayer video game who deliberately irritates and harasses other players within the game (trolling), using aspects of the game in unintended ways. To qualify as griefing, a player must be using aspects of the game in unintended ways to annoy other players.

In racing games it could be driving the wrong way.
In shooters it could be killing your own teammates.

Simply playing the game in a way it isn't meant to be played, just to annoy other players.

Griefing is luckily a bannable offence in most online multiplayer games.
A: I ran into a griefer the other day.
B: What did he do?
A: He kept spawn killing me so I couldn't play the game. I had to find another lobby.
B: Griefers sucks.. I ran into one last week, he kept driving the wrong way just to ram into people to annoy them.
A: Good thing griefing is bannable

Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry

A cynical industry where you hear the same kinds of stories and lines over and over to the point that it's a joke that isn't funny (the false hope and optimism sky is going to fall again tomorrow industry).
Person that survived storm- As long as nobody gets hurt, I don't care if I lose everything else.

Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry Reporter- That sounds convincing.

5 years later after recovering from loss of loved one the person gets to thinking and it hits them- As horrible as it makes me sound, too horrible to put on TV, though nothing will hit as hard as me losing a loved one or an animal, I really do miss that couch and TV, even if I got another one. It sounds inhuman of me, and yet deep down anyone else would miss their shit at times if they lost it, even if they didn't tell anyone that they did. If they didn't miss their shit, they wouldn't get a house to put it in, but if they did get a house and wouldn't miss their shit, they'd live in an empty house, since nothing would be sacred there. If people are being honest with themselves and true to life, they also miss material things even if they miss the living things more.

Grief shopping

When you experience the loss of a loved one and drown your sorrow by going on a shopping binge.
When her mom died, Debra went grief shopping and accumulated three pair of Louboutin platforms and two Gucci bags in an attempt to spend the grief away.

Grief Haggery

When people on the internet appear to compete with each other to see who is the most upset by a tragic story which has no direct content with them.
The grief haggery about poor old tom is making me sick.

Grief tragedy sympathy hope

Hopefully instead of cops everywhere reacting with rage over the news about deaths of young fellow officers, they treat their lives as people treated the life of George Floyd, even if these guys didn't look like you, they were just people that wanted to improve the lives of the people around them and they were happy to be alive trying to do that when they were alive. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry tries to make horror or shock stories to headline the news, and really that does more harm than anything else to what these folks were really about, to focus on things like death all the time.
People that look like anybody can end up like these New York City cops, but how often do you hear much about their lives besides a few seconds on the news, then there is another story. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry might want you to feel a certain way (sad, angry) about something, but they don't tell you that you don't have to if you don't want to.
