Liking a status comment, picture comment or wall post that someone has posted on your facebook, Not because you agree with the comment, find it funny or actually like it but because you feel sorry for the person who posted it.
You may feel like replying to the comment would make you look as pittiful as them, but not replying will make you look like a douche, so you 'like' it to save face.
You can also use a pitty like if someone asks you something you dont want to answer, See example two.
Not to be confused with Envy liking

Looking at the newsfeed on Facebook and coming accross a status update where the writer is welcoming likes or comments but no-one does. Therefore 'liking' the status, not because you actually like it but more that you sympathise with its creator.
