Double Schadenfreude
schadenfreude (n.) - Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.
In my reply to my British friend who emailed me on Thanksgiving, I mentioned that I have been getting fatter. She replied, "It's evil but I'm glad I'm not the only one getting fatter. I'm now tipping the scales at 17 stone..." Well, I did the math and I now I have a bit of the schadenfreude myself.

I noticed that now that I'm suddenly all slacker about going to the gym, new jeans, while still fitting, are snugger than before. :( That's as big an inspiration as anything ever to get back to the gym.
