Follow the unfortunate : They have more to teach you and you can laugh at them to make yourself feel better.
This is pure Schadenfreude.
From the German for sausage-stealer.
To steal someone’s sausages is the colloquial expression for deflating someone’s balloon while blowing into your own.
Lowering their status and increasing your personal joy.
A bit like sarcasm. The lowest form of wit as they say.
The joy in another’s misfortune is still joy,just like sarcasm is still wit.
Note :
I am talking mental balloons here. No real balloons were harmed in the making of this post.
It could be I have some words mixed up :
Wurstdiebstahl - The wurst is harm-joy.
Schadenfraude - sausage stealer
Another wednesday, another one line,that is never one line.
Thanks for teaching me something this morning. I love that – “sausage-stealer”!

I try not to steal anyone’s sausage. And I definitely don’t blow my own.
Wait…
That didn’t sound right.
