This is a question Schadenfreude

There's nothing like administering first aid to cyclist who has just spanged into the back of a milk float when you have tears of laughter running down your face. The world is just one long episode of You've Been Framed - when have you laughed at the misfortune of others?

I'm a bad, bad, bad man...
Walking through town a few years back, I got stuck behind a man and his dog walking a bit too sedately. It was a busy Saturday, lots of people on't pavement, quite heavy traffic and I was in a hurry. Arse.

As we came up to some scaffolding outside a church I spotted that the lights ahead had turned red, so I'd be able to nip past on the road.
As I pass the chap, I hear this incredible "donk!" sound.

One of the bits of scaffolding was much lower and the poor sod had whacked his forehead really rather hard.

The bloke who was walking in the opposite direction pointed out to him that there was a sign clearly telling him to mind his head. "Did you not see it?". At the very point of that sentence leaving his lips, he looked at the dog and realised that this was no ordinary dog. This was a guide dog.

The look of absolute horror at what he'd just said to a blind man - in front of quite a crowd - was so utterly, utterly priceless that I had to leg it and find a spot to let the laughter out.

I am going to hell for this.
Still, cracks me up every time I think of it...

I've done something similar
A guy walked out in front of my car and caused me to slam my brakes on. With the window wound down I shouted "What are you, fucking blind!!???" just as his white stick came into view as he passed the front of the car.

I shrank about 2 feet in height that day.

Oof!
I should imagine that the expression on your face matched the one I got to see.

On another note, I very rarely post in QOTW. But I've done so every time that the Schadenfreude question has come up.
I'm quite a nice fella really, honest...
