2. No, I usually have very specific ways I want them to fail.
But that's just me. I'm into being specific. I'll take whatever failure they're willing to offer, but 99 times out of 100, I have a very specific by which I'd love to see them fail.

of a competitive society - yes, I believe many people do not find comfort in their own accomplishments until they are assured that others have failed in theirs. I think this is at the core of RW ideology.

8. I'm looking forward to seeing my night time dispatcher
to fail miserably when he starts days next week. Only because he says he is going after three drivers he wants rid of!

unfortunately there are too many of them in the world. what causes somebody to wish 'bad' upon another is a wonder to me. personality traits that can typically be found in 'assholes'- insecure, superficial, self-centered and narcissist.

22. "we hate it when our friends become successful"
That's Morrissey for you. I like it when assholes fail. I like it when generous people succeed.
