A virtual "reward" you can give someone whom annoyingly complains about situations in their life that either lack merit or they are doing so to derive unnecessary sympathy.
Person who is complaining: "I'm way pissed off man...my Dad is buying me a new BMW for my birthday when I specifically asked for a Ferrari!"
Annoyed Friend: "Wow...that really sucks. How 'bout I warm up the oven and bake you some f*cking Pity Cookies then!"

Someone who actively acts to steal the sympathy that is meant for someone else, generally by witnessing someone behave sympathetically to another and intersecting their own ( often exaggerated ) story of hardship so the sympathizer and the original beneficiary have to give the poacher all the attention and condolence. A behavior closely related to the chronic"one-upper" personality
I was telling the boss about my kid having a cold and that pity-poacher bill started lying about being born with dypheria and gout, so much for getting to clock out early, bill already got to.

The 1 or 2 pieces of bacon You leave behind as a courtesy for the lazy people that slept through breakfast.
I woke up to the smell of breakfast only to find out that you didn’t even leave me a piece of pity bacon to go with the stale pancakes and cold eggs.

A pity ploy (n.) is a term used when someone fishes for affection, compliments, or a free pass to excuse how they act by self degrading themselves to make you feel bad for them. Pity= is what the person wants from you and ploy= is the fact that they came up with a motive and plan to get pity from others. Ergo, the term pity ploy is formed. Don't be this person it's narcissistic.
