i can't remember the word, but i can sorta remember the definition: liking or enjoying other people's pain (i remember it from 12 Angry Men) can anyone help me find the right word?
btw, i already tried searching the reverse dictionaries, and i still haven't found the right word

Schadenfreude? Not certain on the spelling there, but it means taking pleasure from the misfortune of others.
Like when a tree falls on your neighbour's brand new car, and you have a secret little chuckle to yourself as you drive off in your ancient clunker.
