Schadenfreude -- it's a funny thing. The pleasure one derives from the misfortune of others. On the one hand, its arguable that only a full-blown sociopath incapable of empathy would enjoy the bad luck of others; on the other hand, examples of people being messed around by the universe like those down below can be a pleasing reminder that we are well and it could always be worse.
So, on that note, go ahead and remorselessly enjoy the worst days of other human beings while you try to forget about whatever deadline's quickly approaching.
