SchadenfreudeThere'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?

lampost manI used to date a rather attractive Swede who most certainly didn't share my love of shadenfreufedenen, she just thought it was cruel. We were walking to work together talking about this very thing when a man, who was reading a book whilst walking, strolled straight into lamp post. He did that beautiful look around to see if anyone had spotted it and it being London no one other then me had seen him. I started to guffaw like a lunatic, tears streaming down my face, she got quite angry and walked off leaving me unable to catch my breath.
It wasn't long before we split up with the 'it's not you' line but really, I think it probably was me. I'm smiling now remembering him when it should be making me sad remembering her.
