Schadenfreude is a German word that is sometimes used in English. It is roughly translated as malicious pleasure or gloating at someone else's misfortunes (usually a rival, enemy or someone that you dislike).

yes, and I'm not happy or proud of it. Usually I experience this when someone who has wronged me in some way get's "what's due to them" This usually eases my guilt.
