Do you ever feel happy when bad things happen even though you shouldn't?

For some reason, I'm just ecstatic every time a hurricane hits Virginia Beach. ;-)

1. Schadenfreude?

Who doesn't experience it from time to time. So, what's your beef with VA Beach?

In the form of Pat Robertson. :)

4. What about when bad things happen to people you really don't like?

A woman from work I couldn't stand just got fired...I know I shouldn't take joy in her misfortune, but she's not really a nice person, and shouldn't have been working around kids anyway...Am I a horrible person?

8. I do feel bad

But not about Pat Robertson. Just regular people I wouldn't wish some things on anyone even though a lesson is good.

9. For some reason, I'd like to be snowed in

I used to get really excited anytime there was a huge snow storm. Now that I have to drive to work no matter what the weather and shovel our driveway which gets plowed in by the city, I am not so happy.
Sometimes, I have mixed but generally positive feelings when someone gets what they deserve. As my sister told a little girl, who she babysat for who purposely dumped water on the floor and fell on it mintues later while chasing her sister: "Sometimes bad things happen to you when you are being bad."
