Deriving pleasure from someone else's terrible moustache/ facial hair.
Also knowing that you're own moustache is far superior to theirs.

Did you hear? Some chick dumped Richard because she said she didn't like his moustache. Probably because he looks like a pedo with it. I have an enormous sense or schavenfreude right now.

Get the Schavenfreude mug.German word, original translation loosely comes out as 'malicious joy'. In English, it's thought of 'malicious enjoyment from the suffering of another'. As there is no succinct English version of the word, English-speaking peoples have approximated this word and use it whenever they see people like corrupt CEOs get dragged off to jail.
Did you see that look on Fastow's face as he was told he couldn't take soap-on-a-rope to the lockup? Man, I felt a warm, comforting sense of schadenfreude in my gut when I saw it...

Get the Schadenfreudenia mug.(n): the climactic pleasure one feels while seeing something terrible happen to another human being. A portmanteu of schadenfreude and orgasm. Particularly exemplified over reviled celebrities.
When LeBron James and the Miami Heat lost the 2011 NBA finals, all of Cleveland reached a schadenfreudegasm.

Get the Schadenfreudegasm mug.although "schadenfreude" seems widely known I've never heard it being used in casual conversation.
Probably it's more the problem of not knowing how to pronounce it. I've heard "skäidenfruhd," for instance :)

Get the schadenfreude mug.Watching a vegetarian being told she just ate chicken
Or watching a frat boy realize just what he put his dick in
Being on the elevator when somebody shouts "Hold the door!"
Straight-A students getting Bs
Exes getting STDs
Waking doormen from their naps
Watching tourists reading maps
Football players getting tackled
CEOs getting shackled
Watching actors never reach the ending of their oscar speech!
