"कां पावो शीतळता लाहे | कीं ते डोळ्याचिलागीं होये | तैसा परसुखें जाये | सुखावतु ||"
I have always felt that every language should have a word for schadenfreude (शॅडेनफ्रॉयड). It means 'pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune'.
We all indulge in it, at least occasionally, even if not openly, in our thoughts.
I DO and I don't need any 'happy hours' and/or alcohol for that!

That word can be funny even in some other ways...
