when something bad happened to another person, it sucks to be that person

Adj. Something that is expected to have a long lifespan by virtue of having existed for a long time, based on the lindy effect, named for the New York restaurant Lindy's, coined by Albert Goldman and popularized by Nassim Taleb.

Phrase used to express an indifferent sympathy.

A phrase which expresses mild sympathy for the plight of another, while implying greater relief that those circumstances have befallen someone other than the speaker.

The phrase is the American translation of the German 'schadenfreude', which denotes actual pleasure in the suffering of another.

Basically this phrase means "I wouldn't want to be in your shoes". Or "your life sucks". It is often used sarcastically, but just as often not.

When someone says something bad that happened, is happening, or is going to happen.

An expression of acknowledgement of hardship. Depending on context, can be sympathetic or taunting.
