    I think the only reason people ever say things like this make them ‘happy’ is in the absence of a more accurate label.

    Schadenfreude? Commonly translated to English as “joy at seeing other’s misfortune.” I hope in most cases it is more associated with seeing someone in the wrong receiving their comeuppance. The joy of watching your enemy suffer a setback or even defeat.
